why
Why try to guilt people into seeing this movie? I went only because a friend of mine asked me to. He is gay and it was important to him so acquiesced , I would not have otherwise. Am not into rom coms, really not interested in a gay one. But agreed and went. IT had many problems
1. Lacked broad appeal, it w made for gay people (and that's cool) but it doesn't resonate to people who are not gay 2. The jokes missed, not good when you are a rom com and the rom portion is exclusively gay, the com had better hit to entertain non gay audience 3. Pacing, it was slow and dull.
Making a gay rom com is probably a good thing, just have to understand, most folks are not gay and for it to succeed needs a broader appeal. - MontanaStreams - 24 December 2022
Why did I watch this painful film?
Comedy this is not. Romance? Not quite a Hallmark kind of formula (although the characters are as shallow), since the lead, Bobby/Billy is so absolutely unlikeable throughout as an obnoxious/angry man (with no personal evolution) that I had to watch this over a half dozen viewings. In real life, if I meet someone as awful as Bobby, I would max out at 5 minutes and never want to deal with him again. Even in the end, Bobby's character still has the emotional range of a door. Aaron/Luke is the saving grace to this thing, but I just can't recommend anyone gay or straight watch this.
I feel suckered by NPR's raving review and spots on mainstream TV which made me feel I had to stick with this to the credits.
