Me Him Her (2016)

Ultimately disappointing treatment of celebrity trying to come out as gay to family and public. It gets so lost along the way but manages to treat some issues like the obligations of friendship and the pain of relationship endings. But it does present a loving lesbian couple as a positive and even Cory is ultimately a realistic portrayal of a douchebag. And it has a LOT to say about LA! Dustin Mulligan and Emily Mead do great jobs playing their unlikeable characters. But unfortunately the issue of a gay actor coming out gets quietly lost amongst it all. (Stay until end credits finish though!)

This show is so Max. I love it! This is full of great writing with so many funny lines and bits that I only finish laughing from the last one to hear/see the next one! As always, Max is making his own decisions against the tonic of the tropes with full understanding of what he is breaking.This is a love story for the characters, including the character of Los Angeles. "L.A. Story" is another favorite ode to the neurotic, crazy, loveliness of that bunch of cities posing as one. This its new generational piece by one of its great, young, creative L.A. characters, Max Landis.When shows like this are the norm, never forget who got us here first.If you want to see his CV, look online and at "Chronicle" and "American Ultra," his other features.Don't hesitate, see this if you haven't and show your friends!

Honestly, I loved this movie. It was comedic and touching without taking the viewer on an emotional roller-coaster. Having grown up in Los Angeles, I could really relate to the jokes regarding the city itself. It is by no means a movie that can be taken 100% seriously, as there are plenty of things that don't make sense and would never happen in real life. It has trippy elements to it that make it seem like the characters are sometimes high out of their minds. For some this might take away from the plot and make it seem insincere, but for me it just made me laugh even more. If you're looking for a lighthearted movie with major gay characters, some drama, and a silly adventure, you've hit the jackpot.

What a delight! I had a wonderful time watching this movie. And there were more than a few twists.Good acting. Even excellent acting. And jokes that build. Including one about rum and coke with jaeger. You have to watch to get it.I wasn't sure at first. Seemed pretty low budget. But I kept watching and oh am I glad that I did! I laughed and got more and more drawn into the story. And impressed over and over with what they managed to do.And they threw me off! Because who I expected the story to be about wasn't really who the movie was about. Was that a spoiler?Dustin Milligan was so much fun as the straight best friend. And pretty hot too. Luke Bracey was pretty good as the star, a man who is a huge hit on an action television show and must figure out what to do when he realizes he is gay. Emily Meade is wonderful as the lesbian who realizes she might be bisexual. Geena Davis and Scott Bakula are in this movie! And small as the parts were, the two of them were awesome! Angela Sarafyan was truly scary fun as the psychotic lesbian ex-girlfriend. Jake McDorman, although he didn't get much to do, really was a delight when we finally meet him (he's the guy who kisses Luke and makes him realize that he's gay—this happens before the movie and is not a spoiler). I loved love loved Rebecca Drysdale as the lesbian friend.Don't miss this movie. In a world of crappy "gay movies," don't miss this one.And wonder at the end if it was a gay movie!I am saying no more!
