Tonight as apart of the festival I will be attending the screening of 'The Wedding Party', starring the very captivating Isabel Lucas ('Transformers 2' .. as I would prefer not to remember her as Tasha from 'Home & Away'. She is also about to star in 'Red Dawn' & 'The Immortals' alongside Mickey Rourke , directed by Tarsem Singh). Isabel Lucas plays Ana Petrov, a beautiful young woman who flees Russia, desperate to stay in Australia with the man she loves.

'The Wedding Party' is a sexy romantic comedy about the Thompson Family, whose individual love lives range from deviant to delicious to downright desperate.

When his plans for a secret registry affair are discovered by his family, Steve finds himself at the center of the world's most farcical wedding. The only problem is, Steve is in love with someone else.
