The Gist:
Various mostly, though not entirely, related events take place at a gay coffee house: a bisexual man has dating problems, a young woman comes out to her mom, a gay male employee acts slutty, the drag queen coffee shop owner needs to find a new employee, vampires stop by for a drink, etc..
Comments:
I've found very little information about the movie, so I don't have an explanation for why it is so odd. Is it a movie intended to be a series of shorts using the same setting to pull them all together? A compilation of various episodes of a web series? A film school project with other short stories added to bump up the time to full movie length?
Whatever the answer, the result is a movie that doesn't work. None of the shorts are particularly interesting, well acted, or funny. It is also borderline offensive, or at the very least annoying in dealing with bisexuality. The expected standard when you have your main characters telling offensive phobic jokes is to take a position that they're wrong. Something that doesn't happen here. Jokes are made about the bi dude, and nothing is said or done to show this is wrong. So by implication bisexuality really is wrong?
The best thing about the movie is that not everyone in it is a young gay white man, so it almost resembles the real world. Unfortunately, other than that, everything else is pretty much wrong.
