A Movie Fit for a Queen
If you want some laughs, there's a terrific Spanish comedy (screened at Outfest) that is opening in a limited number of theaters in New York and Los Angeles today. "Reinas," ("Queens" in Spanish) tells the fictional story of the first 10 gay couples to be legally wed in Spain, in a spectacle broadcast live on TV.
Of course, nothing goes smoothly, nothing. There are crazy mix-ups and non-stop laughs. Although the guys are charming and sexy it is the actresses who portray their mothers who steal the show with their considerable comic chops, beauty and vitality.
Spain legalized same-sex marriage while "Reinas" was in production in 2005.
