POPCORN FOR THE EYES
Today's movie was the Brit gay film
This is actually a nice romantic comedy without a lot of pretense, stereotypes or gratuitous sex scenes.
It mostly revolves around three couples or potential couples, well four or five, who are looking for Mr. Right or think that they are.
It is quite funny and the guys are very good. Some are lookers, some not. There are certain types of gay man represented here but most, actually, are metrosexual. This is love in the city. London.
Everyone is actually quite likable even the sort of mildly bad guys.
We both enjoyed it and found it very satisfying with no rough spots.
The gay film industry, just like the bible film industry, here in the states is mostly predictable and formulaic.
This film, surprisingly, is not. There are some great jokes, lines, and the situations are new and different.
If you are gay and you want a little light romance and some fun, this is for you.
I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5 even though, like popcorn, I sort of want to go back and see it again. I don't think I will really remember it tomorrow. But that is OK. Lite is good.
