This film is about the love life of Ethan Green, an attractive young man who repeatedly fails to find the love of his life."The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green" is a surprisingly good film. Acting is great, the cast is persistently good throughout. I really felt connected with the characters and the events! The portrayal of Ethan, Leo and Sunny stands out, they provide the most laughs. If it was a low budget film, it certainly does not show. All the sets and costumes are nice and eye catching, enhancing the uplifting feel of the film. I think "The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green" is a cheerful and upbeat comedy and deserves to be seen by more people.
... View MoreThe Ethan Green strip isn't the funniest thing on the planet but it's not Family Circle/Garfield bad. Given that it's been going on forever, there was plenty of material there to make a slim (80 minutes-ish, minus opening and closing credits) movie. The problem was that they picked the wrong material to make a movie from and the wrong actor to build a movie around. Daniel Letterle is just plain wrong for Ethan, he comes across as too nelly and too stupid, and his body type and hair coloring are also wrong. The rest of the performances are adequate or what you would expect from a low budget movie put together in a few weeks. Again, the problem is both the script and the direction. It's basically a bad, sitcom level plot strung together over a 2.5 episode arc to make it into a movie level movie.Some of the other aspects in the movie (the interstellar romance Ethan has or the Hat Sisters) would have made a better full length feature, but the producers probably felt that what limited audience it could get would be with the hints of nudity and romance. Unfortunately, they just leave you cold, especially in this day and age when porn is so readily available and better romance can be viewed for free in short films on Logo, to name just one outlet.Frankly, given that they were able to make something as unfunny as Queer Duck into an animated feature (which actually was helped by a full length story), it would have made far more sense for Ethan to also have been an animated feature and also would have allowed for far more opportunity for the more interesting aspects of the comic strip to be filmed.
... View MoreIf you're looking for a slight cross between "The Broken Hearts Club" and "The Breakfast Club", it's right here. Not one of the best movies I've seen but if you liked Daniel Letterle in "Camp!" then here's your chance to see him get even more gay! He's still starting out as an actor so a role like this was a bit of a gamble. There's some minor things that I think could've been improved upon but all in all, I didn't feel like I wasted my time after watching it. If there's a message to be derived from the movie, it's probably "Gay people have problems, too!" Incidentaly, that would've also served as a better title for the film as well!Daniel did seem a bit ill at ease during some of the more "gayer" scenes. But then again, who wouldn't with an entire film crew (and possibly his girlfriend) on the set watching your every move. Give the guy a break. Of course, Daniel wasn't the only one in the film. The other actors I felt played their parts to a tee! PS Daniel Letterle... do some more musicals!! ;)
... View MoreI just wanted to give a quick review and say that I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a gay film festival in Austin, and the audience was in a constant laughing uproar. I don't know what film festival the other review went to, but I think it was in D.C.I didn't notice any bad acting. I quite enjoyed it. The dates he went on and the people he met were all too real. It very-much resembles the gay scene in a humorous way. One of the last scenes was very American Pie style, and it was a riot! Loved every minute of this movie.As a gay guy, previously straight, I enjoyed this movie and hope it sees a DVD soon.
