A woman negotiates the tricky etiquette of celebrating the wedding of her former girlfriend in this independent comedy. April (
Maria Cina) and Alex (
Trish Doolan) are close friends who have something of a past together -- both are lesbians, and they were lovers for several years. Alex is still attracted to April, but April has moved on -- so much so that April one day announces that she's going to marry Pauly (
Randall Batinkoff), a pleasant but dull man who was introduced to April by her mother (
Molly Cheek). Understandably, Alex is a bit taken aback when April asks her to be her maid of honor, but for the sake of their friendship she accepts. However, things get a bit frazzled when Alex has to put together a bridal shower for the woman she still loves.
April's Shower was the first feature film from writer and director
Trish Doolan, who also plays Alex. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
