I seriously wanted the movie to be over. The main character was extremely annoying. All you see is underwear, drugs, lame parties, boring conversations and TEDIOUS life realizations. This movie had so much potential. A group of friends in Fire Island? Let's put everyone to sleep! Urgh.

Firstly, let me give credit to the two main leads - Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang. Solid performances. The movie really does give an accurate portrayal of club life for gay men - drug use, public sex, etc., but it also addresses issues not properly addressed by the LGBT community such as racial stereotyping, ageism, body issues, etc. Still, it's a fun movie that has its moments, witty one-liners, beautiful bodies and scenic views of the island itself. Dragged a bit here and there but overall I'd say it's a grown up version of Another Gay Movie.

Beat for beat adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. I am somewhat thick in picking these things up, but this was so in your face I got it within the first 10 minutes. A nice updated take on a classic tale. Per usual "Mr Darcy" is captivatingly angsty prickly sort with a mushy core. A fun watch.

Badly acted by characters with no charisma and unlikeable . Storyline even worse.. never been to Fire Island but after this dreadful attempt of a film no desire to..

8/10 - an impeccable soundtrack (when is the Pure Imagination Fire Island remix coming out???), likable characters, a hot cast, and a witty but also timely and insightful script make this a great Searchlight release, perfect for Pride month (I only wish it was available to be seen on the big screen instead of shuttled away into the depths of Hulu)

I am so tired of these films where you have sexy, perfect, unblemished bodies, gay dorks not being excepted, unable to find love. For years and years the same thing is being portrayed and it seems film makers can't come up with a different story line. I love the Europeans when they make gay films. It is raunchy, you have all types of gay men from bears to admirers and so on. I didn't watch all the film because I found it ridiculously stupid. I am gay, I am big, I am not hot, I don't go round prancing in public and I don't need to look like a God to be able to find a lover. Also, sex is not the only thing gay men live for.

I want to have a fun evening with this romp. But it's cringe inducing tired tropes and overflowing stereotypes spoil the fun. The problem isn't the good cast. They do the best they can with the formulaic script that covers no new ground. Would Noah's close group of friends go many, many years without calling him out about his being a complete jerk know-it-all trying to fix everyone? And most of the rest of the characters are equally annoying, save Margaret Cho's Erin. There are genuinely funny moments here and there some good acting going on.
