Twenty-three-year-old John has just moved to L.A. from New York, ostensibly "taking a break" from his longtime girlfriend. He moves in with college bro Andy, whose pals incessantly do that kind of "That is so gay" banter that's essentially harmless - unless you're the only gay guy in the room.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Smart without being smart-alecky, Mr. Rosen's writing avoids the aggressive cleverness and gummy politics of many similarly themed movies, focusing instead on realistic dialogue and low-key interaction.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,

rotten:
The title is the cleverest thing about this minor indie portrait of sexual confusion.
– Frank Scheck,

fresh:
A low-key comedy high on charm and credible twentysomething observation.
– Dennis Harvey,

rotten:
Being straight is hard to do in this brief, ponderous mumblecore flick.
– Anna King,

rotten:
The psychologically flat script isn't nearly up to the task of depicting the pleasure within confusion/despair (or vice versa); neither are Rosen's acting chops.
