Silly Subterfuge

Warning: Spoilers
I do not know what the point of this film is unless the moral is incest is taboo and for a good reason. Otherwise, maybe the lesson is incest is okay. In any event, it follows a spate of gay-themed films where the one coming out is relieved to hear from their parents (usually father) that "he is a little gay too." The idea that this kind of thing runs in the family is cute too, giving it even more legitimacy.

The frustrated part is that once again, we have a young guy with supposedly everything including a Yale degree and parents with Yale degrees and uncles with Harvard degrees and ballerina girlfriends and a cool career as a chef and yet, the first chance he gets, he allows himself to be totally whipped by his slutty cousin whom he has never met in his life!!! Just like that. Of course there was no problem when mom (aunt) catches them in bed together either and her father tells him to help him butcher a hog because, if you can screw my daughter, you can help me kill a pig! Are things really that loose these days? To ask what was he was thinking is useless. Then, when he does find out the long hidden family "secret" he (and the rest of the "family") seems almost relieved. Watch The Bad Seed and you will know what I mean. And that ending - really? Will he never learn?
