SYNOPSIS
What if your good-for-nothing brother set you up on a hot date and got the gender wrong or did he? "Straight" Todd gets set with Kelly (Wilson Cruz "Noah's Arc"), who turns out to be a gay man, not a woman. This wacky and surprisingly sensitive comedy gets pretty hot as these two men negotiate friendship...or romance....


REVIEW
What if your good-for-nothing brother set you up on a hot date and got the gender wrong or did he? Todd (Jonathan Bray), a straight guy, goes to work every day and then comes home with nary a date on the horizon. That is, until his goofy brother, Barry (Jonathan Silverman), sets him up on his very first internet get-together, a coffee date with a hottie named Kelly. Todd gets to the caf and the only unattached person there is a gay guy...guess what: his name is Kelly (Wilson Cruz of "My So-Called Life" and "Noah's Arc"). After a brief, clumsy realization that a straight guy has been set up with a gay guy, the two men hit it off as friends. To get retaliation against his brother, Todd and Kelly head back to the house and hold hands in front of the mystified brother. Their joke works as Barry summons Mom (Sally Kirkland) in for the new family crisis. Mom decides that she loves her gay son and joins PFLAG. Most amused is Todd's gay co-worker Clayton (out comedian/actor Jason Stuart) who's fianlly got his evidence that Todd is officially gay. As word spreads that he is "openly gay" and has a nice gay lover, the situation spins hilariously out of control and nothing Todd says can convince people otherwise. Yet he prefers his new best friend Kelly's company; maybe he is gay after all?
