Here is the trailer:<\/p>\n\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay?docid=5702771616093910749\"><img class=picture height=264 hspace=0 src=\"http:\/\/www.sepiamutiny.com\/sepia\/kcousins_1.jpg\" width=383 border=0><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n\n<blockquote>Amir is the last bachelor in his group of coupled-up friends. When they accuse him of being incapable of having a relationship and replace him as the best man at an upcoming wedding, Amir and his visiting long-lost cousin hatch a plan to prove them wrong.
