Billy Eichner’s new movie is too self-conscious about being a mainstream gay rom-com. But he still makes it work.
getting that treatment is a sign of where queer representation has taken us — and it’s not necessarily a great thing.is that Eichner’s film is meta and conscious of the straight gaze. He plays a podcaster who once pitched a gay rom-com to Hollywood.
At a club one night, he bumps into a shirtless Aaron , and they build a rapport over their snarky superiority about the vapidity of the club gays who surround them. The movie is at its best as they learn about each other, opening up about their mutual insecurities. Eichner is great at playing a version of himself. Bobby is earnest and self-deprecating, and humorously grouchy. His parents are dead, and in one especially poignant monologue, he speaks about his sadness that culture didn’t catch up to queers fast enough for his parents to see his new life.
