Win 'TONY 'N TINA'S WEDDING' on DVD ... NOW!

Starring Adrian Grenier ('Entourage," "The Devil Wears Prada"), Mila Kunis ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "That 70s Show") and Joey McIntyre (New Kids on the Block), the long-awaited movie version of 'TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING' makes its way onto DVD on July 15th.

Inspired by the legendary and long-running off-Broadway play, Roger Paradiso's directorial debut keeps the unorthodox spirit of the original stage production. Reminiscent of Christopher Guest's films, 'TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING' takes a satirical "look" inside the madness of weddings and family dynamics, and spares no one in this front-pew spectacle that is at once funny and perhaps painfully familiar.

Tony (McIntyre) and Tina (Kunis) are deeply in love, but the larger-than-life personalities of their Italian families make for a chaotic, combustible energy destined to ignite mayhem on the couple's blissful day. Tina's mother disapproves of Tony's family, especially his father who runs a seedy strip club. Tony's father wants his reluctant son to join the family business, and has an odd idea of what is appropriate wedding reception entertainment. Tina's bridesmaids have a flair for the déclassé, as one drinks while pregnant and the other flirts with the band's lead singer over her boyfriend's objections.

Cut to Tina's ex-boyfriend Michael (Grenier), who crashes the wedding, and whose lingering feelings for the bride threaten to derail the ceremony – that is, unless Tony's drug-dealer friend can get the jilted boyfriend too stoned to care. As the day unravels, the wedding spirals into a hilarious circus, but one that may be too much for the newlyweds to handle. Can their fledgling relationship survive their families' antics? Paradiso's skillful scripting, Altmanesque framing, and talented cast meld into a touching, comedic take on the tension between family ties and a couple's love.

As the second-longest running off-Broadway show of all time, 'TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING' is best known for its use of the audience as members of the wedding party. The movie cleverly duplicates that scenario through the subjective lens of one of its characters, Raphael, the film student-wedding videographer, whose camera always seems to be at the wrong place at the right time. This enables the viewer to share a similar vantage point as the handheld camera swerves and swoops, capturing the unfolding events in cinema-verité style. The film effectively combines scripted scenarios with improvisation, as extended rehearsals allowed the actors to familiarize themselves intimately with their characters.

The street date of the much-anticipated 'Tony n' Tina's Wedding' DVD is July 15.
