Reeling 2010: Is It Just Me?

One of the funniest and sweetest gay romantic comedies in years, Is It Just Me? delivers a refreshingly witty take on one gay boy's search for Mr. Right. Cute, but unaware of his adorableness, newspaper columnist Blaine can't seem to meet guys, let alone form a relationship. His beefy go-go boy roommate Cameron—who has no shortage of willing partners—can't understand why he doesn't pounce and enjoy some one-nighters. Instead, Blaine hides in his room and searches Internet chat rooms for a kindred spirit. He may have found one in the form of Xander, a shy, recently relocated Texan. But when the time comes to exchange photos, Blaine accidentally sends an image of his hunky roommate, and things go from romantically promising to uproariously confusing. This case of mistaken identity escalates when Blaine begs his roommate to go out with the charming, sandy-haired Xander. When it seems they hit it off, our lonely hero feels love has passed him by again...or has it? Think Cyrano de Bergerac by way of Eating Out: writer/director JC Calciano's first feature film is a hilarious, captivating winner. And the hot guys aren't bad either! Is It Just Me? JC Calciano (USA, 2010, 93 min.)
