FLUFF BUT GOOD FLUFF

Today's gay film was the Taiwanese

17 sui de tian kong / Formula 17 (2005)

A mature 17 year old boy meets older immature playboy with a rep for one night stands. Love strikes both but they can't get by the opening lines without a bit of help from their friends.

This tightly knit love story is sweet and no one gets hurt. Well no more than a little to make it all worthwhile. The classical arc.

The acting is great. All the types are here even an American white boy.

Frothy. Lightweight. Sexy. Unpredictable (some magical realism, watch out) and even a small look at a Taipei gay pride parade.

Quite enjoyable. I would watch it again which makes it a 4 out of Netflix5.
