The piece this movie gets right is the straight friends' concern and compassion for their gay friend. This movie finds its heart when the straight friends start worrying that their gay friend is lonely. They realize that the key piece is that we're all lonely, and their gay friend is more susceptible to that loneliness. And they love him and try to protect him.

This movie is about a guy coming out to his friends. The best part of it is how realistic it is portrayed. His friends may find it weird to some point (not that being gay is weird, but that the friend they knew for many years is) but they know that he is the same person and try to be there for him. This movie is a true friendship movie.Acting is really good. You can feel the true friendship chemistry between them and what they may be feeling. The anxiety of Adam, the confusion and wish to be a good friend from the rest. There are also fun moments, mainly from Adam's dating. The guy who pretended to be another one, the Scarface guy, the guy whom he scared away with farting. Then there is a neighbor who is worried about Adam's eternal damnation and gets a priest. It is a good movie. My only complaint is that there seemed to be no real plot story. But no matter what it was good light entertainment.

Director Andrew Nackman has transformed writer Aaron Danick's smart script into a film that deserves wide attention, especially at this time in our history when LGTB issues are finally being addressed. The film features some fine actors – among them the true star of the film handsome and talented Evan Todd who turns in a sensitively nuanced performance as the coming out gay 24 year old - as well as the supporting cast of the fine Parker Young, Chord Overstreet and Jon Gabrus.Yes, there are some stereotypes introduced as Adam (Evan Todd) faces the internet dating game that are a bit beyond comedy, but the cast itself treats the issues of coming out with style. The plot outline - A car mechanic in a small, working class town (? Albany, NY) comes out of the closet to his unsuspecting, blue-collar best friends. But it is not just the struggle Adam faces with his quartet of best friends (Parker Young as the most sensitive Chris, Chord Overstreet as the confused Nick, and Jon Gabrus as the group clown Ortu. It is the manner in which the friendships strengthen as Adam gains the courage to come out (a dance he must also perform for his family and outside acquaintances) that makes the film at once entertaining and funny but also (due to the sensitivity of Evan Todd's acting and relationship with Parker Young) very tender.The movie is a treat for all audiences, but the discovery we come away with is the impressive, talented, and hunky Evan Todd. Watch his career blossom. Highly recommended.

(Spoilers) This a story about a guy portrayed as very "normal" who at 24 y/o tells his lifelong buddies he is Gay. Well, he starts with his best friend.There were a number of things here that were very good - his friends were generally supportive, the dialogue was mostly realistic, the picture quality, scenery and filming was well done. Three of the four main characters were very good looking, in shape, fairly well muscled. The story was entertaining and there were several pretty good comical situations. I really liked the part where his best friend is acting funny upon hearing the news and the lead says "I'm still the same guy." I applaud the inclusion of common sense, which we need more of.However, this is supposed to be present day - it is hard to imagine that his friends, sister, or parents did not have the slightest inkling he wasn't straight after knowing him all his life. There were a number of places where I wasn't sure what message was being given by the film or was it just poor attempts at humor? For example, the lead's first date was with an unattractive man who misrepresented his online dating photo. When the lead isn't interested, the date asks the lead character if he is shallow, only wanting someone good looking. Uh, no, the date is obnoxious and quirky as well. This date pops up a couple more times and far too much time is wasted on him, again poor attempts at humor. But later when the lead (finally) meets someone presumably not loaded with personal issues, they talk for about 15 seconds and the movie is over.I didn't understand why the lead, when explaining he was Gay and his parents didn't seem to get it, he had to put something in his mouth and simulate oral sex. "that kind of Gay" he explains. (????) I found the mother's instant acceptance strange, the only thing she was "upset" about was they missed out on sharing his "real" life. Really? How could our lead have completely missed that his parents have been totally accepting/non-judgemental for his entire 24 years? I suppose its possible.It was funny enough and the guys were plenty good looking that I'll probably watch it again. But as others have said, the stereotypes just won't go away.
