I was totally delighted with this film. So far, its the Gay equivalent of Sixteen Candles or Clueless. Finally a well made Gay high comedy has arrived. This and The Geography Club prove that such films can be cute and sweet without being lame, dreary and crude like the second Another Gay Movie. Art Direction, Costume, Sets and the whole look of the film are just right for its subject. Casting is as close to perfect as you can get for this type of farce. Michael J. Willett is adorable and charming as the lead, never once slipping into stereotype. Paul Iacono is wonderful as Brent and he plays all his pretentious goofiness perfectly, but comparing him to Jack in that awful Will and Grace is not right. The Jack character in real life would be an unbearable completely tedious leech. Brent in real life would be a silly young gay man who actually has a giving heart. Well played, the Sophie character is the moral compass and Derek is the metro hetero male nerd in Brent's group. The girls fit perfectly as does the horny Topher character. The older character actors are used to great effect especially Natasha Lyonne. Direction, music, language and the use of color make this film a wonderful piece of fluff. There are a number of major truths about being who you are in this teen comedy that make it more real and worthwhile than just a cheap stupid parody. Now, how about the Gay equivalent of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (yes I know there is a Gay character in Perks, but it is not really a gay film). I want to see more.

Finally a Teen Comedy for Gay Kids
A sweet, good spirited film
The story pretty much, school's three popular girls seek out the latest must have accessory, a GBF, gay best friend. Tanner is outted as gay, and the three girls go head to head for his attention.
This is actually a really really good film. It's light, funny and kind hearted. I think it shows how much things have changed in recent years, and how some things will never change.
A few of the usual clichés, like the token lesbian, and some of the characterisations. The mean girl influences are apparent.
All in all a really good fun film, the trailers did not make it look worth watching, ignore them. 8/10
It's definitely not like your typical high school teen comedy!
This movie isn't like where you see the guy and girl fallen in love and be elected to Prom King and Queen. It's more like you have to be yourself no matter what comes up for you along the way! Tanner actually didn't need those girls to prove he's their gay best friend. He just needs to be a good decent person in order to have other more good decent people around him. I mean, who wouldn't want that? I know I would!
I was so thrilled to have found out Evanna Lynch was involved in the movie. She was like this crazy homophobic girl who was pretty angry at the gay community. I say she didn't want this role but like all actors, they just gotta play the part!
I'm glad Tanner and Brent became a couple at the end. However, they shouldve kissed because they were so adorable together! I loved seeing them both reunited again along with their other peeps!
