Let's repeat it all together: bi-sex-u-a-li-ty

Warning: Spoilers
In general, this movie is pretty cute. It's not overly dramatic and quite realistic. The cast is likable: the lead Jon is convincing in all his awkwardness towards men and relaxation towards women, the best friend Andy, the "weird" friend Maddy and her neighbour are all really cool characters. The story is really simple - a group of people exploring their sexuality and love.

The only thing that really bothered me is the apparent lack of the word "bisexuality" in the movie makers' dictionary. If the movie would promote itself with this term, the lead character's dilemma would be much simpler and the LGBT community would get a good enough representative in cinematography. Because what is usually perceived a problem with bisexual people is that they are supposedly perverse and regularly hopping in beds of everyone. This movie nicely shows the feeling of being bisexual (Jon's quote "Some days I know I'm completely straight. Some days I don't") and people who discover they're not (Maddy). But since they don't mention bisexuality, the lead is left wondering whether he's gay or straight - even though it's pretty obvious he likes both.
