What happens

Matrimonium is a 2005 comedy film directed by Michael Akers, his second feature film after the successful Gone, But Not Forgotten. Co-written and co-produced by him and Sandon Berg, the latter appears in a lead role in the film as Spencer who is having a sham same-sex marriage with the straight character Rick Federman in the role of Malcolm to enable the latter to win the 1-million dollar prize on the nationally broadcast reality television show Matrimonium. The film was featured in Blood Moon's Guide to Gay & Lesbian Film, by Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince and published by Blood Moon Productions in 2006. In that book, Matrimonium is called a "hilarious spoof on reality television." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
