 Warm and sweet..... April 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
What struck me about this wonderful comedy is the depiction of a warm and respectful relationship between a gay man, Kelly (Wilson Cruz) and a straight man, Todd (Jonathan Bray). Despite the growing confusion of Todd's sexual preference, they are building a deep friendship while exploring their sexual roles and finding common ground. I have not seen this type of relationship depicted in gay films before. "Coffee Date" is a charming and sensitive film with fun dialogue and situations. Well-cast and directed.

This is one of my favorite gay films of all time. It's well written, well acted, and well produced. The story is wonderful and the characters are realistic. It definately has an appeal for straight audiences as well - a perfect film to show at a High School Gay/Straight Alliance because this is the story of a gay/straight alliance that struggles, questions and ultimately finds it's way to devoted friendship between a gay man and a straight one. Lots of comedy.

This low-budget movie is quite entertaining despite the flaws from its low-budget nature and sometimes some slow parts. But overall it is quite funny and entertaining. And Wilson Cruz is so GOHGEOUS!! He literally steals nearly every scene he is in. Not bad for a movie under $10.

I found this movie better than I expected. Very entertaining! This is a movie you don't have to think too much about.....just let go and let yourself have a little fun for the evening.

A likable comedy with some famous comedians, it is an unlikable event in reality. This is a story which came out a prank by two brothers. Barry (Jonathan Silvers) places an Internet ad for his brother Todd (Jonathan Bray) on a gay website. When Todd goes to meet his date at a gay coffee shop he had no idea it was a man, Kelly (Wilson Cruz.) They both have a lot of things in common and a friendship develops. But everybody in Todd's world, including his co-workers, starts believing that he is gay. His mother (Sally Kirkland) arrives into town to see the news and tries to be the newly understanding mother of a gay son.
Kelly and Todd finally have sex as an experiment but proves what Todd has been saying all along, he is not gay. The movie ends with a reversal where Barry claims that he is gay (his mother thinks that he is doing it to get attention.) Todd and Kelly remain friends and even discuss about having a family.
This movie is in the same style of Eating Out, with a similar dumb scheme. Even though Coffee Date is a pleasant comedy, the idea of gay men even considering to convert straight guys is preposterous. It is not in the genes and it will never happen. And this idea has been portrayed in many movies, DUMB!!! The movie does have one redeeming quality, true friendship goes beyond all barriers. It gets a plus for that.
