"It's a layup of a film!" ..."Touching, informative and very entertaining - it's a home run!"..."I really can't say enough about this film. It is funny and perfect!  Half the time you actually missed some of the dialogue because of how hard the audience was laughing."

“Married in Spandex” follows Amanda and Rachel as they travel from their home in the City of Brotherly Love to the town of Ames, Iowa for a celebration like no one has ever
seen. Told simply, despite the complicated questions its story raises, “Married in Spandex” is part road movie, part political commentary, and ALL love story.
