    Finally a movie without stereotypical gay characters

    I've watched plenty of gay movies/series and unfortunately they always tend to stick to the same stereotype of the "queen", colourful, flamboyant gay men. This one finally breaks free from that mould and presents a consistent coming out/of age story with a non-stereotypical gay main character, someone who doesn't like musical theatre, Britney Spears and is actually on the chubby side, which was quite refreshing to see. Granted, it's still a teen/prom movie like oh so many out there, but the acting was fine throughout and the setting/location was pleasant too. It was good to see some familiar faces like Dakota Johnson, Megan Mullaly and "Ron Swanson" acting like his usual butch self, albeit with glasses this time around. I thoroughly recommend it if you are tired of the usual gay stuff and want something light and fun to watch.

    Pass the brownie!

    Everybody, gay or straight, deserves a friend that supportive.

    Cute & Simple ...nothing great

    I found this to be very watchable, often interesting and rather cute ...but really nothing significant/great. I feel giving it 6-stars is being generous; anything higher would be an insult to other films.

    A fun film

    This film tells the story of two best friends in high school preparing for prom. One of them comes out as gay, and their friendship is tested.

    "Date and Switch" is a fun and lighthearted comedy about a teenager coming to terms with his sexuality, exploring his life and lifestyle. The film is full of stereotypical characters and situations, but one thing that is not stereotypical is that the lead characters are not the super camp queen that is present in many gay films. The emotional climax is a little disappointing, but the fun and happy ending makes up for it. "Date and Switch" has a but of predictability and a bit of unpredictability. I guess that's what makes the film fun.

    Pretty enjoyable

    Fairly enjoyable buddy movie some nice vibes in the bulk of it. I love the cast, not much great dialogue though but smooth silliness and has some great moments! Definitely a great one for supporters of gay folks, the main actor is awesome along with the best friend I enjoy him anything I've seen him it. I admire Zach he even directed an excellent horror in the last couple years for some reason can't think of the name. This has a lot of charm/wonderfulness mashed in well I'm shocked the low rating yet it is fair too. I think it's magnificent how Dakota starred in How to be Single a couple years before this both are wonderful!
