It is a romcom!
That's it, that is the review.
Do not expect anything but an hour of a cute, somewhat cringy, cheesy, cookie cutter light hearted romcom but with gay people and I ain't saying that is a bad thing I really like it

Loved this from beginning to end. Totally feel good movie. We need more. there are too many dark, angst filled LGBT movies. We need things to build us up and make us feel good about ourselves. Thank you Peter Paige!
All throughout my childhood i always enjoyed watching romantic comedies with my mother and sister... i am sure you know the ones i'm talking about, from 27 Dresses to The Proposal, i have probably watched them all more times than i can possibly count. although i enjoyed watching them, i would constantly find myself looking and yearning for something that i could enjoy but also connect and relate to in ways all my straight friends did. I always wondered what if there was some LGBT representation, a queer Rom-Com? well i can proudly say i now understand that connect i constantly imagined of seeing on screen. This film was an pleasant surprise that i would recommend watching if you want an queer twist on a classic romantic film. I'm definitely not saying this is the greatest film ever... but i am saying its refreshing and beautiful story. i would certainly watch this film again. great plot and narrative kept me invested and engaged through the entire film.
At it's heart, The "Thing About Harry" is a remake of the classic movie "When Harry Met Sally" but with two gay men. That's not a bad thing, but it's very similar to the original film in many ways. The "will they or won't they" dynamic was played out way too long for my taste and some of the character development lacked. Otherwise, it was a sweet movie with a terrific message. I mean we're allowed to have somewhat unbelievable rom-coms too,right? I enjoyed watching this movie and recommend it to others. Kudos to Freeform for making this movie. Let's hope more follow.
I loved this movie. It was so cute and entertaining. All the actors were wonderful and the two lead men had great chemistry. It was nice to see a gay romcom with depth and a positive storyline. I hope it's out on dvd so I can watch it all the time. A must see, feel good movie.
