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!

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.

Don't pay any attention to old-timey 'BatmanFunReviews' who likely has a homo-related issue. The film is fun, unlike the other 'FunReviews' fellow. Actually, s/he has rated most movies at 1/10 but reserves his best score of 8/10 for Horror of Dracula (1958) - a time when gay meant happy. I'm not kidding...

Anywho, this movie is not groundbreaking, but it'll put a smile on your face and you'll be gobbling like a turkey.

UPDATE: BatmanFunReviews seems to have deleted his review. It's important to call out intolerance and homophobia when they rear in public forums.

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.

Great to see LGBT movies coming out and representing a minority, but the two male characters in this film (the best friend and brother) have problematic humor in my opinion.

Throughout the film they constantly make jabs at the main character and her girlfriend asking them if they like meat or if they could still "turn them straight." Men making jokes and not taking lesbian relationships seriously cannot and should not be normalized.

I wish at some point there was a moment where these characters were scrutinized for being so belittling and offensive (even right to the female couple's face), but it seems that this writing was meant to be a comedic relief perhaps for the straight guys watching this.

Do better! So many more opportunities for humor without taking away from lesbian relationships and the respect they deserve from everyone.
