Splendor

First things first, this is not a gay film an dhas nothing to do with homosexuality except the fact that the best friend of the main characters happens to be lesbian and there is a small kiss between the 2 men. This still doesn't qualify the film to be a gay film. So, why am I reviewing it here? I dunno. This was supposed to be gay film when I started watching it. :(

An average, calm mid-20s girl named Veronica restarts her dead dating life all of the sudden, but with two guys: a sensitive failed writer named Abel and an airheaded drummer named Zed. At first she despairs. Then she finds a way to date both without their finding out. Then she tells both about it. Then Abel and Zed meet each other, and, after much initial conflict, they wind up living together and evolve into a very odd yet happy threesome. However, as time goes by Veronica starts growing apart from them, while Abel and Zed become brother-like (and kid-like). Soon she finds out that she is pregnant and now wants someone more stable in her life. So when a director starts courting a pregnant Veronica, strains ensue. She dumps the 2 guys and starts hanging out with the director and agrees to marry him when he asks. This breaks Zed's and Abel's heart. Will Abel and Zed be able to grow up and save the day? This is how the film ends up with.

The first half of the film was interesting with the whole premise of a threesome couple but when it because serious, I started to loose my interest. The drunken scene where Veronica dares Abel to kiss Zed is met with disgust, but when she asks Zed to kiss Abel, Zed explains "It's not going to kill you, believe me!". Abel and Zed are two sexy losers. Eric, the director is a non-sexy winner. Veronica is just confused, but underneath it all, she is one smart lady cookie.

Just a decent watch. Not bad but not good either. (4/10)
