'Eichner and Stoller’s decision to fashion their gay rom-com in a visually, narratively and thematically familiar mold has the effect of filtering the radical through the traditional,' writes nschager.
Eichner and director Stoller’s script is steeped in its star’s experiences as a single 40-year-old commitment-phobe navigating a diverse gay Manhattan, marked by dinner parties with a couple that’s happy to announce they’re now in a “throuple,” and nights out at a club where just about everyone other than Bobby is a shirtless, ripped hunk.
Given Bobby’s compulsive habit of saying exactly what’s on his mind, he wastes no time calling Aaron boring to his face, although more surprising is the fact that the two quickly strike up a connection—only for Aaron to repeatedly vanish like some sort of underwear-model variation of Batman.
The film has Bobby periodically expound on the need for LGBTQ+ voices to be heard and, just as crucially, for them to not be silenced by requests to “tone down” their flamboyance for straight compatriots. Those moments are true to the story at hand, yet they’re not always gracefully woven into the action proper, highlighted by a creaky Bobby beach monologue about the discrimination he’s faced, and fought against, since childhood.
Bobby can’t quite grasp why a guy like Aaron is interested in him, and that’s understandable; the duo’s yin-yang chemistry is never wholly believable, this despite Macfarlane’s charmingly low-key performance as a juicehead who’s attracted to Bobby for his intelligence, success and lack of reserve.
