CGiii Comment

Good premise...unfortunately, it just doesn't work.

A little too heavy-handed, punching the laugh out of the joke is not the way to go.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

In true 1950's educational film style we watch as high school boy Johnny wrestles with a terrible secret. Johnny is a closeted-heterosexual. What will his dads do when they discover he's only pretending to be like everyone else.
