Loose Cannons (2010)
8/10
Warm and loving comedy
7 April 2011
On the evening before a big family dinner a guy is wrestling with his thoughts. He has three beans to spill and he's all too sure one of them will probably break his bond with his family. The thing is, he's gay and living in a world where that is, quite sadly, not perfectly acceptable. When the dinner starts his well worked out plans are disturbed and nothing will ever be the same again.

And so starts a warm bitter sweet comedy that leans on life's little inability to live and let live, to accept the different as equal instead of casting them out. It's mostly comedy and features a bundle of good laughs. It has some hints of tragedy but the overall feel is a very positive one.

The relations between the various characters are quite convoluted and some of the characters are a bit too much of a character instead of a person, but it works wonderfully.

All added together, a joy to watch, over and over again.
