"Not Gay"

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2017)

Scenes in this movie had me laughing harder than I've laughed in a long time. Other scenes fell way short. In its entirety, it is worth it to wade through some jokes that missed the mark to enjoy some spot on satire and comedic excellence.
The parts that shine in the movie are the songs. Not Gay had me rolling. The portrayal of how pop culture latches itself onto the social issues of the day, regardless of personal beliefs is hilariously accurate.
Samberg shows an amazing ability to be a self-absorbed prick and yet somehow still likable.
Too often comedies will sacrifice the laughs to try and draw up a meaningful conclusion to the story, but this movie accomplishes both without sacrificing either.
Surprisingly enjoyable. 8/10
