Really great little movie full of honest feeling, and open dialog. From the start this movie tells you that things are going to be done a bit differently, and never wavers from the message. These two "Dudes" are so great at being friends, Mike, and Matty; Mike really wants things to stay the same no matter how much they change, and Matty is so willing to walk through anything to be there for his best friend. This movie was filmed a few years ago, but the story, and sentiment are still very relevant. With great writing, and a really quality production supporting this really talented cast I really Enjoyed taking this ride with Mike, and Matty that is real friendship. I would recommend this movie to any open minded person out there, if you have ever given the wedgie then you don't deserve this movie. For everyone else this will be a nice treat. My only note is how these fellas both end up with people years older than them in the end, really that is my only problem, the rest of this is really entertaining, touching, and quite funny.

Funny coming of age, and coming to terms story. No Bumping!!
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND
Mike (Nicholas Braun) and Matty (Hunter Cope) have been close friends since elementary school. Their big plan is to lose their virginity by prom night and eat a huge pot brownie afterwards. This becomes more difficult as both break up with their girl friends. Then Matty comes out to Mike. While Matty is gay, he is not comfortable with the gay scene. Mike tries to help Matty get a guy, but has problems with life's recent changes.
The film is a comedy, which was amusing but not terribly funny. I was hoping for something more funny than guys taking their clothes off jumping around in foam. Perhaps the funniest aspect was when the two were part of a band that plays instrumental TV themes.
Okay as a cheap rental. You won't hurt yourself laughing.

Gay as in Happy
The word had a different meaning a long time ago. But if we get movies with a homosexual theme (sort of, not the whole cast being that way) that are supposed to be appealing to a larger audience, it is mostly with females. In this case we do get the male perspective if you will. And it's not really telling you how to behave or not. You could actually say, that it's even so much about the sexuality (only as much as you want to make it),but how to grow up and stand up for yourself and your friends in life.
Having said that, the movie is pretty funny and light, if the subject matter is not appalling to you of course. There are no dumb stereotypes (which is refreshing) and the movie itself takes the viewer seriously. Are there still some clichés in there? Of course there are. It's inevitable, but does not really matter in the whole picture.
