The title is a pun that refers to its main character’s ploy to cozy up to his college classmate—he pretends to be gay so he won’t seem threatening to her. While on its face as silly as the similarly premised I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, the humor’s more similar to other teen comedies like, say, Superbad. Besides the main storyline, the movie wittily satirizes various campus types ranging from homophobic jocks to politically correct lesbians. There are a few familiar faces, including John Goodman as a matronly tavern owner. The abbreviated art-house release, a couple of years after then movie played the festival circuit, seems odd. Its primary appeal would seem to be with an audience that may not even notice it.
