This movie is over the top funny. This movie is about the mothers moreso than their gay sons. The film keeps you on your toes- you have to pay attention. It is great for for an active movie watcher.

This is one of the funniest gay-oriented movies i have ever seen, foreign or domestic. It actually HAS a storyline, it is great acting, not your typical storyline that focuses on the stereotypical and expected out of a gay-orented movie. It is not really a gay movie per se in the sense that there is so much going on, so much humor, that it is just a great movie overall. AND has a point! Maybe one day our American gay-oriented movies will reach the levels of the foreign ones. If the national ones would just learn to write other than "let's go sleep together" scripts or tease movies that take place in West Hollywood....
