Jack (David W Ross) is a gay Brit living in New York. When his brother (Grant Bowler) gets killed in a car crash, Jack is left to raise his niece, Tara, with his sister-in-law Mya (Alicia Witt). When Jack’s work visa is denied moving back to England isn’t an alternative. With Tara, now seven, and Mya, struggling through medical school, he can’t leave them behind. Faced with exile and no other means to 
stay in America, Jack marries his lesbian best friend Ali (Jamie-Lynn Sigler). When Jack falls for a Spanish architect Mano (Maurice Compte), a U.S. citizen, and I.C.E officers detain and interview Ali and Jack, a terrified Ali files for divorce.

A great movie, truly amazing with an important message

Thankfully after a much anticipated wait I was lucky enough to see this fabulous movie in London @ LGFF on Saturday 23rd March, and it was so worth the wait & did not disappoint me.
From the opening scenes, I was enticed into the story of Jack Edwards & walked alongside him in his journey to find happiness at the end, and what a journey it was. I did not see all the twists in the story coming, but they were amazingly told & acted by the whole cast, keeping me on the edge of my seat as to what was coming next (sign of a great movie in my book).
The screenplay story being told is emotive, passionate, heartfelt, informative & relevant. There are ‘tender’ moments, ‘laugh out loud’ moments, ‘hot ;-)’ moments & ‘OMG how dated are those laws’ moments, this movie tells & highlights the important message of ‘Why is one love more acceptable than another’ love is love & all love should be equal because we are all equal, and I hope this movie succeeds in helping to change laws so we can all be free to love whoever we desire with no discrimination.
This movie belongs on the big screens worldwide, and I for one hope to see it there, so that I can see this amazing film again & again, this movie can be enjoyed by everyone & anyone who has a open heart, I cannot recommend this film enough, if you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to see ‘I Do’ grab it, I know I would…xx
