English Ang Lee surprised me with this film, but he's just an example of a director who can skillfully handle essentially any genre. And this homosexual comedy is presented so beautifully humanely that it just has to entertain you. It's not as funny as I expected, but it's the lightness of the humor and the overall concept that can disarm you. ()
