Lez Bomb

This should have been a short film. I understand the importance of coming out and the chaos that it could ensue to family ties, but this could have been way less dramatic.

I actually didn't finish and just sat in silence so I could enjoy th quiet.

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.

Too many superfluous backstories spoil the broth of what should have been a sweet story of a girl coming out to her family over the holiday. There were a few patches of comedy, but not enough to truly merit a great rating. The leading lady, Jenna Laurenzo, who is also a first-time director, was decent in the lead role of the girl coming to grips with her sexuality. Decent, not great.

If you're looking for a LGBT film that truly is on point I'd recommend "Imagine Me and You" (2005). It stars Lena Headey and Piper Perabo. And it is much more charming than Lez Bomb.

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.
