One of the only movies like this that acknowledges how liberalism doesn't do much to change minds.
It's also not a coming out movie, which is nice, as that has been done too much and doesn't show the true experience.
So, yeah, it's not the best, I'm guessing the musical is better and would be fun to watch. James Corden is kinda annoying, hetero side relationship is boring, it's still kinda forced.
But hell, they finally got queer actors to play queer characters (besides James Corden, seriously, why dude).
I like that the "gay makeover scene" is a gay character dressing a gay character. I like Emma's first song.
My liberal family likes it, so it certainly reaches its audience. I hope it hasn't/doesn't win any awards though.
There are much better, more artistic or unique, less flashy and Hollywood, gay movies out there.
