“This amiable and amusing film is delightful as it plays around with political correctness, homophobia, machismo, and business management.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe dull-witted and just plain dull main character keeps his job by pretending to be gay — at the suggestion of a neighbor who is an industrial psychologist that once lost his own job BECAUSE he is gay. With that premise, the film is off to a wonderful series of misunderstandings and revelations as our hero discovers a great deal about life, people around him, and most of all, himself. The fact that all of this takes place is a very prim, high-tech condom factory makes the comedy all the more lively.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wasnu0026#39;t expecting the lift that the film gave me. It has a flimsy giddiness about it lacking in most comedies about being gay or straight or anything else. See it if you get a chance.”
