Horrible
Angelo Barberini (Luke Kirby) tells his all Italian family that he wants to move out (at age 27) What he doesn’t tell them is that he’s gay. Then he meets hunky Nino (Peter Miller) a closeted policeman. They fall in love and begin to live together (with separate bedrooms), but keep their relationship secret. Angelo wants to come out but Nino is dead set against it. Angelo finally does come out…and all hell breaks loose.

Purported “comedy” is just horrid. This is 2003–do we need ANOTHER comedy about a gay man coming out? (Just for the record, I’m gay). That story has been done to death and just isn’t funny or original anymore.

The jokes are very obvious and there’s tons of negative gay jabs (all disgused as humor–but nobody in my audience was laughing). There’s nothing funny about the family’s reactions and they seem way over the top for this day and age. I’m not Italian, but this movie seems to wallow in Italian stereotypes. Are all the mothers this cruel and overbearing? Do they seriously expect their children to live with them until they get married? Are they always yelling and throwing guilt around? These are the same characters I’ve been seeing for years–they weren’t funny then, they aren’t funny now.

The film is colorful and Luke Kirby actually gives a very cute, funny performance. Paul Sorvino (as Angelo’s father) isn’t bad either and Claudia Ferri (as Angelo’s VERY neurotic sister) has her moments. But everybody else is either shrill and overbearing (Ginette Rene especially) or bland. Peter Millar is TERRIBLE as Nino. He is tall, handsome and has a GREAT body…but he’s so wooden and dull. I kept wondering what Angelo sees in him. Also, aside from one little kiss, we see no affection between these two men–I didn’t believe they were lovers at all. When they were being driven apart by their families, I could have cared less. Since they didn’t seem to be in love, what were they losing? Also this movie was leaden paced–it was only 92 minutes but it felt like 3 hours!

Lousy jokes, homophobia disgused as humor, terrible acting and a ridiculously unconvincing ending which ties everything up neatly. A real waste of time. Avoid!!!!!
