Big Gay Love by TLA Releasing by Ringo Le

Bob (Jonathan Lisecki) is a gay man with a good job, great friends and is healthy. He is also on the plump side and in a world of buffed bods and body image worship, he has developed self loathing and cannot grasp why anyone would fancy him. His friends persevere with him, but he seems to turn off everyone, then he meets party chef Andy and despite his best efforts, Andy seems to find him interesting.Then we have Bob doing his level best to make it work and at the same time let his fears and anxieties overcome all rational thought. Along the way we do have a few laughs, but mostly we have clichéd stereo types behaving in a predictable way and nothing new being told. Also for a film that is supposed to show that inner beauty is what counts, we have a rather high toned and fit body count providing the de rigueur eye candy for most gay films. Whether this is supposed to be ironic or to highlight the competition one can only surmise.Despite the shortcomings this is still a well made movie; it will not change your life or perceptions - if you don't fancy someone, trying to see the inner beauty can take time - and that may also be the message. I read one review that said if it were not for the very attractive Todd Stroik and Ethan Le Phong- as Bob's friends - that this movie would have very little to offer. With a run time of 85 minutes it won't outstay its welcome, but not one that is a keeper.

fairly predictable sub plots, average script, average acting

One to miss. The lead character sulks and whinges his way through one improbable scenario after another. The plot isn't credible and the acting is poor.

An OK film about a large gay man and the issues he has in finding Mr Right and if you do how to keep him. Quite in funny in parts and some fabulous cameo roles from various members of the cast keep the film moving along, but for me the big problem is the romance and problems that ensue before the happy end, almost bogs the film down and the steps taken to resolve it do seem to be rather contrived. Having said that some great bodies to look at, and the cameo roles of cast members who are regulars in gay themed films were good with some mini little gems.

A very gentle comedy drama. Great acting off both the lead actors (straight and none straight gay characters).One gay couple was a stereotypical conniving pair who were jealous of the big guy getting his hunk.Recommended viewing for gay people and gay friendly straight people.

A brilliant story. A very worthwhile watch. It is very enjoyable loved it

A very cute film
