It's unfortunate that a film that could have been so good fell victim to all the boring stereotypes.
When a young dudebro comes out to his friends, he is met with mild (yet expected) homophobia that turns to understanding, love, and acceptance. However, while we go on that ride of friendship, we are subject to so many unfortunate tropes and stereotypes that make the movie...annoying at best. Not enjoyable at worst.
While the film's strength lies in its portrayal of friendship, it suffers immensely in how the romantic relationships (both heterosexual and homosexual) are written. It's redeeming quality is the fact that the actors are enjoyable to watch, even when acting out eye rolling scenes that have been seen a million times before in LGBT films.
