I found it more charming than laugh out loud funny, but I'd like to see more movies like this this one. The acting and soundtrack were superb, particularly when you factor in the budget, or lack there of.

I loved Touch of Pink because I could identify with it on so many levels. The main character, a darling gay man, struggles with the conflicts of being true to himself and living life according to the expectations of others. When he finally decides to face the truth, he makes peace with the reality that it is more important to be courageous and begin to be who he is. This simple and profound act, in turn, exposes the absurdity in the attitudes of those whose expectations he had been trying to meet all along, including that of his guardian angel, Carey Grant. In the end, his simple act of courage effects others to face the truths in their own lives.
