I mean - I'm a fairly harsh critic and I hate most every gay movie that comes out (I'm gay BTW) and I was poised for this one to annoy the crap out of me. But it started and I'll tell you - I was wiping away the tears (from laughter) from pretty much the opening sequence. The four men they found for the four leads were astoundingly, shamelessly gleeful in their complicated renderings of these boys - they didn't phone anything in - even the gratuitous (I'm a littly prudish, I guess) flatulation sequence was imbued with a sincerity and a sweetness that was welcome and unexpectedly necessary and it made it actually, genuinely funny. That doesn't happen often with flatulation jokes for me. And I think that description defines the entire film for me - it was unexpectedly inspired and made me laugh when I wouldn't have typically. And I cried, too - for the sweetness of one story line. I usually feel manipulated and ridiculous after a romantic comedy but something happens in this film that brings it home - I wasn't angry and I wanted it to go on and on and on. As a gay film buff I guess it was hugely satisfying to see the same stupid movie I've seen seven thousand times about straight people remade - and reconsidered - and turned into something that I could claim as my own. I got it - and I don't usually get to get it. It's a special hour and a half - I hope everyone gets to see it.

Wow. Just watched this for the first and only time. They are two of the most horrifying women I've been exposed to and I live in New York, where horrifying people are everywhere. They agreed to teach a "class" for the Learning Annex? Did they move to New York yesterday? No one teaches at the Learning Annex if they know better. They're desperate and talentless and it would be fun to watch the roadkill of their lives if it wasn't real - if it was fiction it would be funny - but these women actually exist. The producers should be ashamed of themselves - they are making asses out of these women and ensuring them a place in the Talentless and Vile Hall of Fame. Hey Gastineau Girls - get out, if you can, with whatever dignity you might be able to scrape up. I'm so sorry. I'm sure this seemed like a good idea. I'm sure you're not bad people - but this show makes you look desperate, pathetic, talentless, and just a bit disgusting. I would love to laugh at you but it's just too totally sad.
