Ringo Le's comic drama admirably tackles the concept that even in our physique obsessed culture, gay men who are socially inept and more than pleasantly plump can still get their chance at a big romance.

TLA Releasing

The lonely soul in this instance is Bob, who is a chubby successful party caterer in L.A. who has made enough money to buy his first house but desperately sad as he has no-one to share it with. For some reason (insecurity?) his only friends are a couple of vapid vain gym rats who are as self-centered as his mother who was once a famous Pin Up Girl.

TLA Releasing

When at one of his own parties, he meets Andy a handsome beefy accomplished chef & restaurant owner, and budding writer to boot, who actually fancies him, Bob's low-self esteem kicks in big time. The trouble is for Bob... and for us too... that once Le sets up the scenario the initially promising story disintegrates through a series of convoluted and somewhat ridiculous plot twists and the whole mish mash becomes one annoying big pity party for Bob.

The cast includes the talented Jonathan Lisecki (the writer/director/actor of 'Gayby') and handsome Nicholas Brendon (from 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer') but with zero chemistry between them and a very stilted script, both of them looked as uncomfortable as we felt by the time the final credits rolled. They would be lucky to find a small gay love at best!

Big Gay Love = Big Gay Yawn.
