BRONX TO VILLAGE
Today's lighter than air gay comedy, not on the list, was
A looker from the Bronx seeks a roommate in "the City", meaning Manhattan. He ends up with a gay man who is in the theater and is breaking up a relationship.
The usual confusion about gay and straight ensue but not so much to be offputting.
Of course there is drama awaiting the handsome young man and he gets to play a part in it. Actually, even a part in an off off broadway show when his new roomy breaks an ankle. But he will be playing a gay man and there is a m to m kiss involved.
It is all mindless fun and, refreshingly, there is no sex involved. Just friendship.
How charming is that?
Very.
There is some straight sex of an unimaginative kind but that does not count for us gays. Our hero is shown in many shirtless moments, a generous bone thrown to us who pay attention to such things.
Not the sharpest pencil in the box as far as films go, almost amateur, but charming nonetheless.
A 3 out of Netflix5.
