From all of the hype I've ingested through queer news outlets, I thought this movie would be worth watching. Unfortunately, the chemistry between Mia Scarlett & Jules was very awkward -- their first kiss was laughable. There was one cute moment between them (GOUDA!), but it wasn't enough to actually delineate this movie as "queer." It was quite a shock to learn this movie won two awards at the 2005 Outfest. There must've not been many good entries that year.
The awkward queer story line aside, I was very amused by the hilarious comedic timing of Kathy Shao-Lin Lee and Tzi Ma's inner neuroses. It is a rare actor who can entertain without saying much at all.
Watch this movie to be entertained, not for its queer content. Although the lesbian story was very positive and non-dramatic (in L-Word terms), it is far from qualifying as a queer movie.
