Entertaining, lighthearted short

The premise doesn't sound all that original at first: a gay couple pretend to be roommates when one of their brothers visits. But if you are expecting the short film to be about the couple trying all sorts of ways to hide their relationship until they give up and come out, you would be wrong.

The couple is loving and cute throughout, and their relationship isn't strained by one getting upset with the other because they have to hide the relationship. This makes them really sweet and lovable. In a way, the joke is on them (not in a cruel or nasty way) because, ultimately, they don't realize that they really do no need to hide their relationship. This is also a way of making the statement that a gay couple can be a perfectly normal, loving couple, and the stigmatization of gay relationships is really unfortunate.

A good, lighthearted short film that doesn't pretend to be deep or anything. It's simply entertaining and cute.
