I guess I know which Coen brother is solely responsible for their success now. Hint, not the one who's name starts with Ethan. This felt like a second year film student in the bottom half of their class in a state college film program trying to make a Coen brothers movie but wanting to be edgier. I wanted to like this, The intro was so bad that I thought it was going to end up being one of those scenes where you think its part of the main movie but then they reveal it was something stupid that the character was watching on their TV or it would be revealed that it was a lame movie being made by some of the characters in the film and they'd pan out to show the set and the main character as part of the crew in a ultra low budget movie. It was to LGBTQ movies what Kirk Cameron movies are to Christian movies. There were occasional good moments, like the bit in the trailer where Geraldine gets criticized for what she is wearing out to the bar and she says What I just came from work, and the other girl says I came from Toledo but I don't dress like it.
