Faced with the prospect of losing his job, a confirmed bachelor fakes his wedding for the checks ... until the guests start to arrive.

SYNOPSIS:

LARRY DENT is in his late 40's, lives with his GRAN and her hedgehog, and hasn’t had a girlfriend in years. The problem is he’s an accounting clerk who’s spent a small fortune in gifts for weddings he never attends – and may soon lose his job.

In an act of desperation, with the help of his slacker best friend and co-worker, TOMMY BOY, who happens to be boss’ nephew, Larry creates a scheme to recoup the money: he pretends to get married. With invitations sent out to those who once invited him, he registers for gifts all across town. His plan works well as he receives check after check and notifications for presents. But his plans fall awry when RSVPs begin to come in as “attending” the wedding!

Compounding matters is the office bully, JACKIE. In addition to making his every working day a living hell, Jackie torments poor Larry about his impending nuptials, despite losing clients faster than he can bring them on. This, in turn, causes Larry’s boss, FRANCIS, to consider closing the business.

After a series of uneventful dates it appears as though Larry may have found his match in ALLISON, the perfect girl. But after discovering his scheduled marriage, she quickly dumps him and leaves Larry out of options. To make matters worse, his Gran throws him out of the house when she discovers his scheme.

Tommy Boy comes through and miraculously arranges the wedding – but the bride is still missing. When the wedding guests arrive, Larry is ready to admit defeat.

When a skirmish breaks out among the guests – and the reason is revealed for Francis going out of business – cupid shoots his magic arrow to reveal the love of Larry’s life… the man who’s been his biggest champion all along.

“THE REGISTRY” is a comedy about coming to terms with who you are and celebrating what’s most important.
