This film is another one of those independent film trying to tackle a "new" theme in the gay world. Sadly, not every idea turns out right. And it has nothing to do with low production values. It is mostly to do with poor acting and not a good direction. We have seen some really funny movies that involve such a thought but sadly this one doesnt come close at all.
Primary story is around two brothers: Austin is younger, gay and is struggling for love and making his ends meet. His dream is to won the miss diva beauty pageant. Elder brother Dallas, is supportive but not completely used to with Austin being gay. He is stressed at work and at home he is trying to have baby with his wife. Each brother thinks the other “has it so good.” By a strange twist of fate, they switch places. They know they have switched but no one else realizes this. Only person, who believes the story is Jackie, who is Austin's best friend. Now Austin needs to save his brother's job and his family. And what is to be seen is how far will Dallas go to make his brother's dreams come true. Finally the evening comes and now Austin has to go home to Dallas's wife who wants to get pregnant. And Dallas has to now go on stage in drag and perform for Austin! Thankfully at right time, the switch back happens and things all fall in place.
There was a lot of scope for making the whole situation very funny but it felt drag in al events. The acting was below average and the overall direction was also pretty bad. There was a scene where Jackie recounts his life to Dallas and that goes forever as if suddenly Jackie is the protagonist. Also when the situation occurs, even more reason for brothers to stick together and help each other out, but rather they dont even talk throughout the day. This could have been very funny short film but I think the makers thought they had a solid product in their hands.
Strictly below average, there is a lot of good stuff out there, so save your time. (3/10)
