Director Manuel Gomez Pereira spins a fictional tale around a pivotal landmark in Spanish history with QUEENS. July 3, 2005 marked the day that gay marriage was legalized in Spain, so Pereira constructed this light comedy about the impending nuptials of three gay couples, who are planning to tie the knot on the very day the law changed. But in an interesting twist Pereira shifts the focus of his film away from the soon-to-be happy couples and instead weaves an amusing narrative around several of the mothers who are set to see their sons drift off into wedded bliss. As the mothers fuss and fight, a full range of concerns come to the fore, with issues of class and money raising their ugly heads, and Pereira deftly illustrating that there's very little difference between preparing for a gay wedding or a or straight one.

Queens relies first and foremost on a stellar cast, and secondarily impresses with its premise. While the film interweaves several story lines that connect the various characters of the mothers and the problematic preparations for the wedding, it all mostly worked and didn't result in a plot hodgepodge. I applaud the relatively complex storyline, which is not usual for films of this ilk, but on the other hand, this was supposed to be a comedy in terms of genre, so I was expecting more humorous scenes, but in the end it was more of a lightly funny film than a properly funny one, which is a real shame.
