First off, the film hasn't aged well. It is very 90's (which I usually love) but in all the worst ways. The film is Kevin Smith and the characters are cool and the jokes are funny, but this really speaks to a time when homosexuality was not understood, and if you developed your understanding of the subject from this film, you would just assume it is a choice that straight people make one day. In short, a gay person is a straight person who just doesn't know it- there is no nuance. I don't buy all the twists about sexuality in the film and I don't think they adequately represent reality. This is my least favorite of the Smith 90's movies- and for the record, I think Clerks is still amazing!
