This really could have been a great movie. But it wasn't. Two guys meet each other in the 1980s and have a very unfortunate one night stand. They meet again 20 years later without recognizing each other and fall in love. They have to deal with all kinds of gay-bashing in addition to their complicated feelings for each other. Realizing that they met all those years ago only makes things worse.There are a lot of the kind of jokes I don't like—fat jokes, bathroom-type jokes, and even some gay jokes, which is especially odd considering that the movie is seemingly pro-gay. I did like that they tried to make movie that portrayed gay marriage in such a positive way, but they just made it too lowbrow.
The absolute best, most wonderful thing about it was an extended scene where a bunch of gay men dressed up in jeans, flannel, and cowboy boots and hats and did an extended country western dance. Priceless.
