Going into this, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, just some lighthearted romantic fluff. This movie had so much potential, and as there is such a shortage of lgbt rom coms, I was left super disappointed.
The plot and most of the casting was fine. I was even totally okay with the badly written dialogue and over acting (it often comes with the low budget rom com territory). My only complaint was how unlikeable the main protagonist was. Just a giant, turtleneck-wearing, walking red flag... Jealous, obsessive, possessive, and oftentimes downright mean. He's supposed to be progressive but on multiple occasions he shames his love interest for sleeping with multiple people. He's a terrible best friend, judges and criticizes other men for their looks constantly, and is just overall controlling and unpleasant.
With all the glowing reviews about how cute and great the relationship in this was, I was left really confused. This movie left a bad taste in my mouth for sure. Ultimately disappointing
