Title: Expected Much More (no puns...)
Product review: No, I'm not gay, I just like gay movies, go figure.This film started out well. A Mormon from Idaho is sent on a mission with 3 other boys to Los Angeles, where the protagonist, Christian, ends up falling for a gay waiter who is seeking to conqueor Christian based on a bet.Nice premise, and it is fairly entertaining, but ultimatly falls flat. I don't mind bashing religions, I do it all the time, but it was done here in a very unconvincing way. I felt that the queers, one of whom is "shallow," but "not really," in this film were even worse than the "right-winged, narrow minded" Mormons. There is so much stereo-typing in this, that I ended up laughing at dialouge that wasn't meant to be laughed at. And the ending! Oh, please...it would've been an ok film were it not for the predictable, sappy ending.This is sure to have its appeal with some, but those of you looking for a Almodovar-ish intellectual masterpiece; I doubt you'll find it here.
