Perry is the worst of the bunch. Throughout the movie, we feel as if Perry is performing to the audience rather than embodying the character. One of Oscar's few serious moments comes as he sits on a bed of green grass and contemplates what to do that afternoon, when he'll be presented with a Gay Man of the Year award. As Oscar stares into space and searches his soul, we stare away at our watches. We wonder if the film will ever end and, when it does, if we'll still have our souls.
Every movie has to have a few positive things about it.
The other is the appearance of a mid-'90s Michigan football team on the television set. Other than that, things are bleak. The movie is neither romantic nor humorous. It's also a little annoying to wait for the slow characters in the film to become hip to the truth about Oscar's sexuality. Ka Leo O Hawai'i .
