Lez Bomb

Lez Bomb is a great throwback family comedy, the kind that was popular in the 90s/00s and don't seem to be made anymore, but with a lesbian twist. Fast paced, funny, and with a great cast--Deirdre O'Connell is a particular standout. Tons of heart, lots of fun, highly recommended!

One reviewer said that they hated that the partner forced her to come out...I didn't see that. What I saw was a couple who decided this was the right day and the partner was hoping to influence this previously agreed upon declaration. I thought it was a really cute depiction of a hectic, funny family and the unfair struggle that lgbtq people have to go through. I never had to announce that I'm straight but my friends have told me of their experiences and this is a lighthearted depiction of exactly that...I highly recommend that you watch this and enjoy it for what it is: an ensemble cast, holiday film with a young woman struggling to come out. A very lovely film.

The premise seemed decent, trailer made me curious. Regretted watching until the end (in the hopes it would get better). The main character is flat, definitely not a good actress, her love interest is meh, and also whoever pushes someone to come out to their family and outs them is a terrible person and should not be dated let alone chased. Support cast is good, too bad for the whole movie. First time reviewing a movie because it was THAT awful.

The premise is interesting and it could be a great comedy but the constant failure to tell her family she's gay gets old. It just seems that at some point she would just tell everyone to shut up and listen. But the writer/director is young and I think as she matures her screenwritin will do so too.

I'll just say this: check IMDb's rating statistics. You'll note a majority of ratings is 1, and it comes mostly from young boys and old men, but not from ones 18-45, and th emost voted for review only mentions a male actor in the review, otherwise is suspiciously vague, and comes from a man who rated Hot Fuzz 1 and I can only hope wrote a bot to rate all untranslated Pokemon anime 10.

After you remove this artifcat, those you could expect to be in a relationship suggest a 7.0 score. You'll see the average rating from women is 6.7, peaking at 8 in one group. My opinion is that these scores reflect the quality of the movie.

Now, consider who most likely watched this movie before rating, and who decided to wage a homophobic war on a rom-com.
