It is nice to see gay films that emulate sweet straight romances.

But let's not go too far overboard.

Flowers and candy are not enough to get his man, so other tactics are called for in

Long Term Relationship (2006)

A bitchy roommate, a death in the family, gay dating norms all get in the way as Matthew Montgomery pursues the boyish Windham Beacham.

It just shows how far we have come. We get to have the kitsch right along with the heterosexual people.

This is a "matinee" film, the kind of movie that would have had Doris Day and Rock Hudson in an earlier time. Now that Rock is out of the closet, we can show what it would really be like if he could get his man instead of the singing Doris.

Anyway, I am very happy we have come this far. The movie is quite enjoyable and rates a 3 out of Netflix5.
