English Ang Lee really surprised me with this film, but he is simply an example of a director who can handle almost any genre well. And this gay comedy is presented so beautifully and humanly that it simply has to entertain you. It's not as funny as I expected, but it's the ease of humor and the overall approach that can disarm you. (03/08/2016)
