CGiii Comment

The pantheon of [good] gay comedies is - sadly - more derelict than neglected...many have tried, most have failed...to make us laugh.

Well, we have a new and welcome addition...Chez Nous - a bar that [mostly] everyone would want on their doorstep.

Each play their parts perfectly - all with a contagious enthusiasm. There are no weak links in this sparkling little gem of a film. The direction is slick, quick and clean...100 minutes is over before you know it...it's always an achievement when you can leave the audience wanting more. Bravo.

It's sweet, silly, sentimental and seriously funny...without a doubt, it will brighten up your day.

Again...bravo.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...
