This movie didn't work for me at all. I suppose part of the problem was the plot. I can see the lesson for a straight guy who learns what it is to be gay, but what lesson can there be for a gay guy who learns what it means to be straight? Really, there is nothing there. All you can do really is focus on the mechanics of what might happen to a gay guy who was suddenly into women. Embarrassing for his gal pals!
I guess I also reject the precept that men would change so completely just because of a change in sexual orientation. Sexual orientation and sexuality are not that important. Their whole characters would not have changed like that.
Another problem was the writing. The overt homophobia of the straight guys, especially good-looking white guys living in LA in 2011 (and their fathers), was just over the top. It was an unsophisticated imagining of what straight guys think and say. It made me uncomfortable because it felt forced and cheesy.
Another problem for me was that Nathaniel Marston was too sexy for his role. To me, it seemed unrealistic that a guy like this would be like this.
I didn't find the movie offensive (unlike other reviewers). I just found it lame.
