This film offers a very funny look at small-town Texas with a healthy helping of gay and lesbian sensibility and a silly dose of heterosexist paranoia. My partner thought it was too much of an emotional roller-coaster, but I thought many of those twists were necessary to convey the feelings of the townfolks and those that the movie was focusing on. The movie was clearly focused on Alex and her character and story were the most well-told. I felt like Mark's character got off to a choppier start and ended up practically on equal footing with Alex's character, which achieved some nice gender parity. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone needing a good laugh that can appreciate gay-themed stories or that need to have some of their heterosexism deflated.
