Do You Take This Man (2016)

"Predictable" and "scratching the surface" or "poorly written" with "nothing new to offer"?

[3/10 · 7 February 2018]

A heteronormative and boring story that did not push any boundaries nor had anything new to offer. Except for the skilled acting choices and delivery of all the characters, it appears as though the director simply switched the girl in a supposedly heterosexual relationship with another guy, hoping that a gay couple instead of a straight one will somehow improve the superficial and weak plot line. Detached from the gay community in reality, the attempt to touch upon the gay-specific topics (e.g. coming out, gay marriage, age difference) via conversations in the movie appeared to be hallow, forced and most-of-all provide no critical insights.
