Movie Reviews of The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green
Movie Review: Mostly? Unfabulous
Summary: 3 Stars
Protagonist Ethan Green is unable to commit, always secretly believing that someone better will come along. Eventually he's torn between three very different hunks vying for his affections.
Not as good as it sounds.
This is typical of every other formulaic gay romantic comedy of the last ten years. Like Jeffrey, Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss and The Broken Hearts Club, the characters in this film don't seem to have anything on their minds but their own gayness. They obsess on being gay. All the jokes are about being gay. All the cultural references are gay. All the locales are gay. All the careers are gay. Based on the comic strip of the same name, this is a mere trifle of a film. It'll pass the time and maybe give you an odd chuckle here or there, but ultimately it's very forgettable.
It's fairly competently acted and moves at a swift pace, but I felt as if I'd seen it all before. There's even, not one, but two (!) witty and wise old trannies. Only in modern gay Hollywood does the simple act of donning a dress automatically make a man wise. Trite.
Summary of The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green
A young gay professional faces ups and downs while looking for love.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 10-OCT-2006
Media Type: DVD
Based on Eric Ormer's comic strip, The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green is an almost fluffy romantic comedy starring Ethan (Daniel Letterle), a gay man whose trials and tribulations amount to not much more than difficulties in dating and finding a rented apartment. Leo (David Monahan), Ethan's ex-boyfriend, is selling the house Ethan currently resides in, while Ethan enters a whirlwind romance with baseball fetishist, Kyle (Diego Serrano). While Ethan debates where to live, he dumps Kyle and starts dating Punch (Dean Shelton), a cute, young real estate agent who hatches a plan to sabotage Leo's intentions to sell the property. The finest moments of this situational comedy occur when the Hat Sisters (Joel Brooks and Richard Riehle), a pair of cross-dressing, older lovers, are on screen cracking jokes and looking like Erma Bombeck. Meanwhile, Ethan's mom (Meredith Baxter) advises him to seek courage in order to find the right man, as Ethan tires of the dating game. Director George Bamber's adaptation is entertaining, though the entertainment feels as if its at the expense of some characters who are the most stereotypically gay. Because of the film's employment of stereotypes, it's difficult to sympathize with Ethan's plight. Clearly not meant to challenge intellectually, Ethan Green does contain some endearing scenes that make it mostly fun to watch. --Trinie Dalton
