The film does a great job of expressing the conflicting realities facing gay teens today. Darren Stein, the man behind the cult black comedy Jawbreaker, directs.
Megan Mullally, Natasha Lyonne, Horatio Sanz, Rebecca Gayheart, and pop singer JoJo make supporting appearances. Willett ( The United States of Tara) as the title gay, with Sasha Pieterse ( Pretty Little Liars), Andrea Bowen ( Desperate Housewives), and Xosha Roquemore ( The Mindy Project) as his cronies. I caught it during its one-week theatrical engagement in New York and had the entire auditorium to myself. It had a video on demand release last month. The market is so saturated with garbage that it’s easy to miss fun movies like G.B.F. I can only watch Weekend and Keep the Lights On so many times.
My gay Netflix offerings should be markedly different. How many times can one watch the Eating Out comedies and still maintain relative dignity? Has anyone actually made it to the end of one of those 1313 genre trash heaps where guys in their underwear who can’t act give each other sensual massages for no reason in horrible lighting? And what are lesbians to do? Be content with the half dozen pieces of junk thrown their way?Īn entertainment landscape dominated by white guys in their early 20s with no body fat and limited body hair? That’s the definition of the gay porn industry.
