Review of I Do

I Do (I) (2012)
5/10
Felt like a feature long campaign ad

Warning: Spoilers
Through this film I felt like they were trying to sell something to me.

This perfect heavenly creature of a gay man, handsome, perfect body, 6 pack in the stomach, who loves walking around his house with few clothes on, lives only to serve others. He spends his time taking care of his niece as if he was his father, taking care of his lesbian friend with her love troubles and chatting with an older gay man who is very nice but seems to have been left behind in the world, kind of senile nice.

But it doesn't mean heavenly gay man has it easy. He's going to be deported from the U. S. So he marries his lesbian friend who of course in no time falls victim of his perfect muscles and starts feeling left out when she sees that the gay man is falling for another man. Also his niece's mother confesses she resents him for being alive instead of her dead husband. And last but not least, his boyfriend, a Spanish man who apparently had never eaten a hot dog or seen a skyscraper in Spain (though both are quite common there) has to go back to Spain cause his father who had gaybashed him is ill.

I loved the last scene of the film. Heavenly gay goes by surprise to live to Spain and reunite with his boyfriend and, guess what?, Spanish gay guy works in a vineyard, of course, this was the master hit, they will live happy in Spain producing fine Rioja wines.

Now seriously, I admire the fact of trying to make a political statement for gay rights. But c'mon do you have to be a lifetime TV gay man in order to have these rights?
