To paraphrase one of the characters in this slight but enjoyable movie of the week, it's not enough to be gay, rather you should be an interesting person who happens to be gay. And that's basically the problem with this movie - it's about being gay, being gay, being gay... and not much else. I suspect however that it will ultimately find a place in the history of queer cinema as an example of the "homosexuality is good/healthy" period, as contrasted with all the gay stereotypes in movies up to the late 90's. It will also form a sharp contrast with subsequent cinema, in which the banalization of homosexuality returns the focus to drama (where it should be) not sexual orientation per se.
