CGiii Comment

A fairytale - complete with a wicked witch...and some truly terrible dialogue.

It's brainless, juvenile and not particularly funny. That may sound harsh - it is, deservedly so...why do most gay comedies have any sense of reality firmly locked away in the closet???

Erratic, uneven and clumsy - those are the good points.

Inexplicably, Uta's character changes language for no reason...infuriating.

And, with the most painfully protracted ending...Men to Kiss will leave you begging for no more.

The(ir) Blurb...

The gay couple Tobi and Ernie are being visited by Ernie's old friend Uta. What at first looks like an innocent house-call, turns into an insidious attack on the couple's relationship.
