Straight Boys

It's the familiar situation of a queer guy being in a really close situation with a hunky straight guy. The desire for that straight guy, along with the small amounts of attention and reciprocation you get from the dude, make you forget reality. No gay guy is good enough, you'll just take the droppings of the straight guy, and let the chances for a real relationship wither. This situation is re-enacted with nuance and feeling. The pent-up rage of the straight guy, his retreat into video games, and his acknowledgment of his conflicted feelings come across beautifully. My main problem with this film is the clichéd fag hag role, and rather pat and simplistic ending. Other than that, an enjoyable short film.

I thought Straight Boys was great! I love romantic comedies, and this movie brought it! The Lori Character was funny yet real. I would have liked to see more of her. You could tell she had a real past with the Ben character. If you want a feel good movie about "Littterally" a coming out story of a young guy; This is totally the movie for you. Plus it was really shot in Wisconsin! I love films that are really shot in there locations. Plus everyone was hot in this movie, but in a real world kind of way. I still smile, every time i think of this film. Watch this film....

Love,
