Max, a stubborn gay man, is reeling from his recent divorce from his commitment-phobic husband. Starting over would be easier if Max’s shaky living situation didn’t frequently land him on his ex’s couch, where he inevitably interrupts whatever sexual escapade of the moment is playing itself out. Soon, Max becomes accidental roommates with a younger hip nerd who is as romantically challenged as he is, and sparks unexpectedly begin to fly. Longtime Outfest alum David Lewis’ feel-good and refreshingly sex-positive romantic comedy makes the welcome choice to expands its point of view beyond Max’s own troubles. What results is an open-hearted, sensitive story about people trying to follow their hearts, be it within an intergenerational romance, a late-in-life throuple, or through the eyes of an artistic trans man looking for love in all the wrong places.
