The Groomsmen brings a mix of laughs and low-key heartbreak in a queer rom-com that pushes bro-love into full-blown emotional chaos. Picture this: flying off to your best pal’s wedding — yep, happening on some dreamy Greek island — while hiding a huge crush on him. What could possibly not go sideways? Yep. Pretty much everything does.
So here’s Danny (played by Jonathan Bennett) — sweet, a little socially clumsy, and completely head-over-heels for his buddy Zack (Alexander Lincoln). Problem is, Zack’s about to tie the knot. He’s got that laid-back charm, doesn’t quite notice the obvious, and somehow pulls off those breezy linen shirts like it’s his thing. Put these two in the same space? Yeah, it’s a walking, sunburnt emotional disaster just waiting to explode.
The Groomsmen: When Bros Go There
Once Zack goes all “Hey man, wanna be my best man?” things… let’s just say, take a turn. The wedding week gets wild, and not just because of the scenic views. Feelings that have been buried deeper than last season’s sandals start creeping up. Beaches? Gorgeous. Guests? Way too into everyone’s business. And the bride? Let’s just say, she’s picking up on stuff that Zack somehow isn’t.
From there, it’s a messy unraveling of almost-smiles, awkward silences, and secrets that won’t stay quiet. Everyone kinda knows what’s up — except the guy at the altar. But yeah, love doesn’t exactly follow a script. Not when there’s sun, sangria, sweaty dancing, and oh — that one hotel room situation with, you guessed it, one single bed.
More Than Just a Beach Crush
But hey, The Groomsmen isn’t just riding on the “are-they-or-aren’t-they” suspense train. It dives into all that uncomfortable stuff — timing, guts, and whether you’d actually throw it all on the line for someone who maybe, possibly, doesn’t even get what you’re saying half the time.

“If I mess this up, well… at least I looked great doing it in linen.”
