I was invited to the premier of Bear City 2: The Proposal on Friday. It was a gay star studded event and we got to see the film outside at the Ford Theater.
I saw the first film and thought it was cute, but this one was okay, riddled with TGM (Typical Gay Movies) trappings. I'll give my typical vague review.
- The actors are perfect. I love the cast
- The script, however, needed some help
- The bear culture is very interesting. There are issues with the muscle bears and regular ones
- Roger wants to marry Tyler, but Tyler isn't ready and however within some hours he is
- It was interesting to hear discuss how special their wedding was supposed to be, but they were getting married in the middle of Bear Week.
- There were several random scenes that should've been cut
- Give Stephen Guarino his own series
- The message of the film was confusing. To the writer, you can fall in love and evolve into friendship by falling out of love. But isn't that other way around?
- Roger tells his ex that he was not happy with him, but ends up with him. That didn't make sense to me. It should have been explored more
- Another message in the film is older men like to mold young boys. Like in a mentorship with benefits
- There were only 5 people of color in the entire film. One in P-town. I guess we don't do P-town
- It was a fun flick, but all over the place. I recommend watching this on Netflix
