As someone else wrote, Jonathan Bray is that rare straight man who doesn't scream and point at the first sign of a homosexual -- while not a metro sexual (with that hair and those clothes, please?). And Wilson Crus is that rare homosexual who is natural and masculine without being self-loathing and falls for the first man he meets that he can't have - just because they share a love of movies. It could happen!
So, if you read this far, you can see I'm being sarcastic and ironic. This movie is stuffed with clichés, from the understanding mother who wants to be supportive to the gay son who was always under her nose but she didn't know she have while she ignores and belittles the gay son she apparently has, that was never under her nose, but because the movie needs a twist, comes out for no real or apparent reason by the end of the movie. The other standard issue clichés are the straight woman who think she's a seductive temptress able to turn a gay man into a real man with a single roll in the hay; the sweet, wise, helpful but inoffensive and non- sexual gay man in the office everyone turns to in their time of need (think anyone of the Queer Eye guys rolled into one big mess), and the list just goes on and on.
This was a potentially intriguing idea that made a fairly decent, if low-budget set of shorts. Padding it out as a comedy of errors (especially an unlikely and hard to believe one that everyone would openly accept a formerly straight man newly gay) was the writer/directors huge mistake and one that could have been readily rectified with some work and talent behind the project.
This is actually not quite a 2, but not really a 3 either, more like 2.5 stars.
