Featured review
This movie has a few isolated good moments, but it's mostly an unfunny and painfully predictable comedy about gay teen angst.
It will appeal mainly to very young people who are very much like the characters in it - silly, bitchy, superficial and not overburdened with intelligence - or to older people and others who wish they WERE like those characters (I assume its writer and director are in that group).
It does NOT have the more universal appeal of a genuinely great movie like Clueless, to which some reviewers have compared it. And it definitely is NOT one of the best gay movies ever made.
So if you're an insecure gay teen and wish more than anything that you were popular, or if you find such characters appealing, you may love this movie; but if you're older and have wider interests you'll probably be as bored by it as I was. Watch Clueless instead.
