A funny, dark comedy that doesn't try to be more than it is. Thoroughly enjoyed it as a gay movie that doesn't try to be groundbreaking and moving etc trying to win awards by showing the immense struggle of being a gay man and coming out.
The relationship between Cameron and Gary is incredibly endearing and provide some proper laughs.
A fresh take one what could be seen as an overdone premise, taking what would generally be a thriller and turning it into a light hearted dark comedy.
Absolutely added to my list of favourites for light watching, and will be giving this another viewing in a few months.
Zachary quinto and Lukas Cage both are amazing in this.

Movies are supposed to entertain you and this one did!! I usually get bored with something because they use the same old formula that's been around forever but no this one surprised me and most importantly made me laugh! I laughed so hard and was so glad watched this. I thought the whole thing was hilarious. I also loved the young and older bounce back and forth between these two. I was loving the relationship they were forming in one night! I actually thought he would leave the house to Cameron. I think the romance was there and I just loved it. Yes there is violence and they should have left that part out of the script but other than that I liked it. The whole beginning was realistic and then it became hilarious. I highly recommend.
One doesn't need a high budget to achieve. I started with low expectations due to the previous reviews (10, 2, 2, 10 etc) - in one word- you either hate it or love it type of movie. I was touched. It is layered in level of lecture, it is absurd, it is humorous, it is exaggerated and NOT pretending. Like life. Touches boundaries, shakes the middle class and cries along. It could have been a stage performance Eugene Ionesco style, refurbished anno now. It describes life. I am not gay neither a man. I was born after the boomer generation and before the millennials and I can say this film triggers something deep inside of me. So beautiful so absurd so genuine yet provocative and nevertheless serious. Just like reality but enhanced.
With talent like Zachary Quinto, Lukas Gage, Judith Light, and Audra. McDonald, I figured this film had to have something going for it. Plus the trailer was fun and the plot seemed promising (and the house in the movie's gorgeous). But, no. It's now clear why the movie went direct-to-video.
But why would such talented people agree to perform in such nonsense? Did they not read the script?
Almost every plot development and so much of the dialogue thumbs its nose at credibility. Totally cringe.
It's too bad. There are a few funny moment and snappy lines-even a few decent dramatic moments. And the cast has good chemistry.
Really, a talented screenwriter needed to extract the good stuff from this mess and totally rewrite it. And a much smarter director needed to take control. There really is some potential buried in there somewhere.

This is more of the type of newish humor that needs to be written. Like "Bros" it is a refreshing and more normal way to portray gay people in cinema.
Very clever writing good jokes, funny scenarios and quippy scenes without being too kitschy.
Hopefully this does well and they keep making more dark/black comedies like this.
Next I want to see a gay version of a satire Christopher Guest type movie, that would be cool.
Then they could do a murder mystery type, then a gay themed sci-fi one.
Not perfect, and that's ok, nothing in life, let alone cinema is a 10/10, just like no person is a 10.
