Is It Just Me? (2010)
A new and fascinating love story
"Is It Just Me?" is a film about a self-deprecating guy who finds his soul mate on the internet, but just as he makes a date with his newfound internet crush, he realizes that he was logged onto his roommate's account the entire time. Instead of owning up to his mistake, he asks his roommate to go on the date for him.
This film is paced very nicely and tells an interesting story. The story is sweet, romantic, funny and filled with eye candy. The actors perform very well and are very relatable.
Overall, this is a great romantic comedy with a fascinating premise and a very satisfying ending. I highly recommend this film.
eCupid (2011)
An entertaining love story
I enjoyed this film a lot more than I thought I would. "eCupid" is a story about an unhappy boyfriend who downloads what I would consider a magical virus to his phone. The virus – or phone app, I guess – sabotages his relationship with his boyfriend and takes him on a crazy whirlwind of gay adventures.
This is a fun film that will get a smile out of you. What is great about this film is that is that it's not as ridiculous as the premise sounds. This is not crack humour. "eCupid" is a fun and relatable story that will have you laughing with it at every step of the way.
I thought the actors were very attractive and their romantic chemistry was undeniable but their performances were a bit stiff. None of the scenes were too deep or thought-provoking but overall it is a very sweet and romantic story.
You Should Meet My Son! (2010)
A fun movie that is incredibly random at times
"You Should Meet My Son" is a comedy about a closeted gay son and his loud and crazy mother. The son tries his utmost to hide the fact that he is gay all the while dealing with an emotional breakup. The mother discovers that her son is gay (with the help of her equally loud and crazy sister) and sets out to find the perfect guy for her son to be with.
The first half hour of the film is funny and lighthearted, with bits of clever jokes here and there. The jokes end however when "comedy" turns into "crack humour." The film begins to pack clichéd drag queens and a very predictable anti-gay Christian family into the same scenes. The film stops being about the gay son and the mother and just becomes a great big mess of gay characters and religious characters interacting with one another.
The story between the gay son and the mother is enjoyable and kind of touching, but you will need to sit through a lot of crazy, random stuff before you get to see the ending to that story.
