FAMILY VALUES
Today's gay film was the hilarious.
Four boys and a girl. In their thirties. And Dad just died so it should be OK for Bobby to come out to his brothers. Right?
Wrong.
Even with a lover and a gay life Bobby is in.
This is a situation comedy to the max. Lots of jokes and they are funny in that straight Irish brother kind of way. One of them is even a priest.
This film plays it straight because most of the people are.
What is Bobby afraid of?
With his sister, who knows, egging him on and the best lesbian friend who has been his beard beginning to want out of the deception, the lover walks. Bobby has to decide.
And he does and it is pretty nice the way it all happens.
The acting in this is very good. The production values high. And there is not one gay film cliché.
I really enjoyed it. I am not likely to see it again as it has pretty much lost its fun when you know the "secrets" that lie around the place other than Bobby's.
Still, a four out of Netflix5. I wouldn't refuse another look if the opportunity came by.
