Yesterday I saw this movie in a sneak preview. I would not have gone and see this movie if it weren't in the sneak preview, I have to say. This movie is enjoyable when you don't put your expectations too high.
The story is about an architect duo who in order to get a certain project have to pretent they are both gay men. One of them really is a gay man (Platt) and the other one (Perry) absolutely isn't. This is where the same old same old mistaken identity story kicks off. Perry next falls in love with the mistress (Campbell) of the man who is issuing the building project (McDermott) who will stop at nothing to keep Campbell at his side. He sends out Perry to spy on several occasions believing he is gay and does not seem like a threat to his relationship with Campbell. Campbell falls in love with Perry and this all collides into this big reverse coming-out session in the end...
Ok, are you still there? Are you still following what I am saying? This story is pretty simple, the acting is good enough for a movie of this caliber and the humour is often well-timed and extremely funny. Especially the three side-kicks of Perry are cool.
Go see this movie if you have seen all the really good movies out there or if you want to have an undisturbed evening of non-thinking in the cinema.
I give this movie a 7, not for originality, but for entertaining me for about 90 minutes.
