This is a terrible and offensive film. Under the guise of pretending to be supportive, tolerant, and modern, it dredges up every old homophobic reaction and wallows in them endlessly until it dawns on the viewer that the offensive stuff is the point. The supportive pretense is just window dressing so that the filmmakers can spend 90% of this film trying to wring laughs out of ignorance, conversion therapy, fear, bullying, and fighting. Instead of making gayness the brunt of jokes, like a dreadful film from the 1950s, it would have been far more interesting for 3 friends - one of whom has just come out - to tackle a nongay situation together and watch them change, grow, make mistakes, and in the end realize it is no big deal - their friendship is the big deal. Instead we get writing that is abysmal, characters that are mostly stereotypes, and extreme overacting like they're playing clowns 🤡 at the circus. Tbh, it got so annoying I bailed midway through. This is definitely not comic: it's a dreadful and offensive mess.
