In the summer of 2005, Spain became the third nation on earth to legalize same-sex marriage. To celebrate, a mass wedding was held in Madrid. Queens is a comedy focusing on four fictional couples and their parents. Unfortunately, I found the mothers far more annoying than amusing, which considerably dampened my enthusiasm for the film. Overall, I would say that the film works too hard at being funny, and succeeds too little. Amusing, but disappointing.
