    If you're a Washington DC lawyer, you're kind of involved in organized crime given a looser definition of crime.

    That pretty much tells you people didn’t like it.
    No, it tells you that people aren't really interested in seeing romantic comedies in theaters these days. None of them, gay or straight, are making money.

    I like gangster flicks. They are like action flicks with the criminal element.

    If I am going to watch 2-3 movies a year, the one in the OP isn't going to make the cut.

    That's true, too. I think the day of the hit rom-com has pretty much come and gone.

    After watching the trailer - I will confess to not having done so before I posted the last time - it actually looks pretty funny. I won't go to the theatre to see it - saving my movie-going money for Black Adam - but I'll probably watch it when it hits one of the streaming services.

    I have no issue with anyone making a movie like this for whoever it might appeal. What I don't like is the notion that everybody must flock to such controversial films or have WOKE credentials suspect.

    I take it you are aware that the new casting rules insist that Gay actors must play Gay roles but not the reverse.

    Instead what we've been doing for decades give them endearing, comic, even tragic roles within larger movies commiserate to their population and the fact that we all interact everyday But seriously the "It's like they injected Dumbledore with steroids" line didn't bring people to the theater? LOL
    I mean if that's the highlight of your trailer you only have yourself to blame.

    Great point. Maybe it's because almost none of them are either funny or romantic.
