Straight Up

[+ E.T.Bass]

(Straight Up originally

so my understanding is I can post here.)

 

If you are a grumpy curmudgeon with a set worldview and inflexible ideas about sexuality than you might want to skip it.

That said, I was surprised how much I liked this unique movie.

 

The main character, a 20 something software coder, is played by the writer/director James Sweeney, the young fellow pictured. The dialogue is pretty clever and keeps on spinning from beginning until the end.

 

The two leads are great, and the rest of the cast including Randall Park are also good.

On Netflix.

Straight Up is leaving Netflix on September 25th.

i remembered how much I enjoyed it so I watched it again.

If you watch the video above you'd get the sense of the actor/director/writer James Sweeney. 

 

His film is very clever.  I love how it ended. 

Yes it may seem far fetched to some, but so what?  Personally I hope to see more work from Sweeney.  

Plus he is cute AF, right?
