Straight\u002Dup rom\u002Dcom with not\u002Dstraight characters is a hoot
Billy Eichner co-wrote the screenplay with director Nicholas Stoller and also stars as Bobby, who splits his professional life between his LGBTQ+ podcast and working to get America’s first similarly themed museum up and running. He’s resolutely single and a commitment-phobe, character traits which sound familiar for a reason.
After a meet-cute at the launch party for Zellweger – a dating app for gay men who want to talk about actresses – Bobby and Aaron start hanging out and discover that despite having little in common, they do strike sparks. The beats of their relationship are drawn from the long history of straight rom-coms – there’s the 48-second perfect-day montage, old love songs on the soundtrack, a third-act misunderstanding that threatens everything. There’s a Christmas tree shopping scene straight out of. There’s even a straight best friend!
Eichner and Macfarlane have great chemistry, but they’re not required to do all the heavy lifting. The film features some great cameos by Bowen Yang, Harvey Fierstein, Amy Schumer and more. Oh, and three words that are comic gold: Debra Messing freakout.Article contentis longer than your average rom-com. Part of this is no doubt due to the producing presence of Judd Apatow. Also, Harry and Sally never had to negotiate a foursome with Jess and Marie, or with Helen and Ira.
And without spoiling too much of the film’s humour, I leave you with a list of gay-themed movie titles from the “Hallheart Channel” thatHome Alone But With Sarah Paulson, Happiest Season, A Holly Poly Christmas, Christmas with Either
