CGiii Comment

The only problem with this comedy is...it's not funny.

In fact, it is rather detestable.

Monika Mitchell is like a duck out of water...ill-equipped to make a film about something she obviously knows nothing about. But, hey, it's about gay boys...how difficult can it be, there's nothing to it!!!

Well...there's nothing to this.

And, it has to be said...the overt racism is deeply worrying...we have all moved on and away from the stereotypical insult. Move on and away from this ill-conceived pile of horse manure.

Odious and obnoxious.

The(ir) Blurb...

A playboy learns to love, while a virgin learns to live -- a queer romantic comedy set inside the restaurant industry... 'John Apple Jack' brings East and West together to create one sumptuously heart-warming dish. When John discovers his sister's fiance is Jack, his childhood crush, passions ignite and his life spirals out of control... losing his job, his playboy reputation and his underwear, all while rushing to the altar to finally confess his love!
