So after reading the 13 comments so far (after watching) I think the homophobic tendencies all come out indirectly in people who gave it 6 or less. The one character is intense and the other chill. Sweet Home Alabama Reese Witherspoon's character was intense. When Harry Met Sally, Sally (Meg Ryan), intense. The Proposal, Sandra Bullock's character, intense. This is the most common theme in romcoms, so the only reason to bitch about one of the two characters intensity is stifling male heterosexual stereotypes. They seem to always be the one bitching about how "intense" the woman is or bragging about it.

And I think this movie will connect with strong women, heterosexual or LGBTQ. The confidence "speech" the "intense" character gives fit me like a cocoon. As a strong, successful, financially stable and accomplished in a male dominanted field, the whole thing, especially the parents part (my parents passed early before they could see all my accomplishments) just brought tears to my eyes. It felt like that character in that moment could be anyone who's ever been told over and over by the straight white male community "you can't do that because" you're a woman, you're not this or that, no one wants a (fill in whatever you are that doesn't make you straight, white and male)... Just so on point. He plays exactly how I might have spoken the main parts of that speech, tone, inflection, and why. Of course, I watched an interview with him on CBS Sunday Morning. He's lived it. So have I.

"Confidence is just a choice you make." and "you just keep your head down hoping everything they say... isn't true." If that speech doesn't strike you, you've never known what it's like to struggle with the constant bombardment of other people's perceptions and hopes and insistence you fail. Let alone the daily task of trying to recover over and over and over.

Admittedly it was strange watching two men but that's because Hollywood just refused to do it before because they didn't see it as a money maker. But you know what? Love is love and trying to force people to keep insecure white heterosexual men happy with their fragile egos has gotten old. This movie sets a lot of people free. BRAVO. BRAVO. BRAVO.
