Cast: Kathy Bates, Rupert Everett, Lynn Redgrave, Dan Aykroyd, Jonathan Pryce, Barry Manilow, Julie Andrews, Meredith Eaton
While we had to wait six years for P.J. Hogan's (Muriel's Wedding) follow-up to My Best Friend's Wedding, it was well worth the wait! This unpredictable romantic comedy features an all-star ensemble cast and lots of queer fun. On the same day her stodgy husband Max (Dan Aykroyd) announces he wants a divorce, Grace's (Kathy Bates) favorite singer, Victor Fox (a sequin-suit clad Jonathan Pryce), is murdered. Doubly distraught, the frumpy, middle-aged Grace throws caution to the wind and travels to England for Fox's funeral. There she discovers that her idol, whose reputation was that of a captivating loverman (think Tom Jones crossed with Liberace), was gay after she meets his lover, Dirk Simpson (Rupert Everett). After forming an alliance against Fox's upper crust family, who would like to suppress news of Fox's homosexuality, the pair decide to return to Chicago and bring Fox's killer to justice.
Kathy Bates shines as a bored/boring housewife who has apparently never held a job. The apartment Grace shared with Max on South Wacker Drive in Chicago reeks of money and no particular taste. When her husband leaves her for some excitement, Grace takes this as her ticket out of her humdrum life. With musical numbers on an airplane, in the area under a roadway where the homeless live and almost everywhere, Unconditional Love shines. Jonathan Pryce not only sings rather well, he's wearing a blue sequined suit in his role as the dead pop singer who looks on the events unfolding. The amazing ensemble cast includes cameos from Julie Andrews (who sings "Getting to Know You" twice in the film)and Barry Manilow, Sally Jesse Raphael and a scene-stealing Meredith Eaton as Grace's dwarf daughter-in-law.
