Description
Catching the recent wave of gay-themed films which eschew troubling subjects like AIDS, homophobia and coming out for a more sunny, cute-boys-in-love romanticism (“Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss,” “I Think I Do”) is this sugary, determinedly optimistic love story. At times funny, and occasionally charming in its innocence, the film can be a bit much for those jaded by relationships and toughened by sexual oppression. The story revolves around the ambitions and loves of three wide-eyed dreamers trying to become a success in Manhattan. They include aspiring actor Marc (Michael Shawn Lucas); his mop-headed best friend and would-be musical composer Robert (Aaron Williams), who's secretly in love with Marc; and Marc's ditsy Greenwich Village roommate Christina (Mara Hobel, the young Christina in “Mommie Dearest)”, an exuberant shopaholic and the only one of the three with some serious emotional problems. Will the two young men get together, or will the sexy new stud in town steal Marc's heart? For most viewers, a pleasant romantic gay comedy. But one gripe; are gay filmmakers, bred on films that used stereotyped homosexual characters for comic relief, now using women (with jokes on their weight, inability to get a man and their mental state) in that offensive role?
