Ugh... as a gay man, I'm disappointed. I'm giving this a 4/10 for representation, and that's it. Billy Eichner's character is the worst possible gay man to lead this movie. He's so unlikeable, and I wanted to turn the movie off two minutes in! There is zero warmth to his character. All he does is preach, and the story is riddled with gay cliches and tropes, but ramped up 100%. It's like one long Family Guy episode spoofing gay dudes. It's embarrassing to think that this is what straight people will think all gay men are; vapid, annoying, preachy *holes. Cis gay white men are apparently the devil of gay culture (shocker). There are gay history lessons left and right. Like, why?? Literally every story beat goes back to being gay. Gay gay gay. Gay this and gay that. Gay. Oh, gay? Gay. Gay. Gay. Yes, gay. Someone should count the number of times the words gay and straight are used. If you're not flamboyant or annoying or don't know any Mariah Carey songs and not "gay acting" and instead "straight acting" you're boring, unless you're hot. If you're hot and ripped, you're an idiot. Like, come on! Billy is the most insecure gay man on the planet. His personality is horrible, mean spirited, cold and reminds me of Jeffrey Dahmer. The story sucks and isn't even funny and is completely judgemental. It's tragic that young gay teens will watch this and think it's inspirational. Oh, and the digs at Schitt's Creek... lol. He's trying so hard to be Dan Levy, but lacks his charisma and talent. Don't waste your money. It's so cringe. This movie deserved to bomb because it sucks! It could have been fun and iconic like Bridesmaids if it was in more competent and talented hands, bro. Oh, and the sex scenes suck.
