"The Groomsmen" is a 2006 comedy film written and directed by Edward Burns. It opened in New York and Los Angeles on July 14, 2006.

Plot

A groom and his four groomsmen wrestle with issues such as fatherhood, honesty and growing up in the week leading up to his wedding.

Paulie (Burns), a self-supporting writer, is making plans for his marriage to Sue, his girlfriend who is in her 5th month of pregnancy.

Paulie is strongly advised by his older brother Jimbo to not go through with the wedding. Jimbo, who runs a struggling business, is envious of Paulie, and his own childless marriage is unraveling.

T.C., who left the neighborhood without explanation eight years earlier, returns for the wedding. In the past, T.C. had stolen a Tom Seaver baseball card from Paulie's cousin Mike. Mike still harbors such resentment over the loss that he begins shoving T.C.

Later, T.C. hesitantly reveals that he abruptly left the neighborhood because he's gay.

The neighborhood bar is owned by Dez, who is married with two children and is the most content member of the gang.
