An ok movie. Pretends to be gay so his friend won't lose everything. Then uses it to get closer to Jessica Beal.

Funny movie! Had some very good moments and emotional. Bit on the silly side at points but was actually a surprise. Had a good story and kept me interested even though I'm normally a sci-fi fantasy guy.
