A Gay Film Written By A Straight Man or Woman
10 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The film looks really good, the actors are handsome, the cinematography is good, and overall the movie has good quality. Unfortunately, the script leaves a lot to be desired. I am tired of seeing movies that perpetuate the myth of the gay man who has a fling or even a one-night stand with a straight woman, the "right" woman. I have yet to meet one or even hear of one gay man in real life to whom this has happened. At least if the character they presented was bisexual this would make sense but when they portray the character as totally gay and somehow the "right woman" makes him forget he's gay, the movie moves into the realm of impossible and that only does a disservice to the gay community and spreads untruths to the world at large. Furthermore, the change of some of the characters simply does not make sense (why is it that suddenly one partner absolutely does not want a baby and then all of a sudden he has no problem with it and then is happy with it). The movie is not boring but it's not something I would recommend unless you have nothing better to watch
