Happy Endings Sleepover

A cute, unassuming film that is the movie equivalent of a 'beach read' book. The actors portray their characters with earnesty, if somewhat lacking in talent. The premise of the twenty-something 'American' CIA agent is laughably ludicrous, but fortunately little more than a flimsy framing device for what is ultimately a romance. A decent flick if you're looking for something of a lighter fare that's easy to watch, and easy to forget.

Gay theme adding a spy idea is bit strange for you to imagine. The teen romance part is nicely done but given the fact one of them is secret CIA. A tender n gentle boy holding a gun. Little bit hard to accept but the filming make it not bad overall. Barely accepted.

I am a big fan of the Happy Endings books and am pleased to see that this film got made. The transition from written page to film can be difficult for any literary work so I'm happy that it works very well here. The plot drew me in and the characters are well rounded and their development consistently rings true. It doesn't hurt that the guys are cute. ;) I hope the filmmakers choose to continue to bring the books to life on screen and that the same lead actors are brought back.

Everything about this movie is wrong; it requires WAY too much suspension of disbelief to even get started. The "acting" (and that is being generous) is very amateur and comes off as a big joke, since no one would for one second buy that the lead is American (regardless of his backstory on where he was raised). Just bad. And to further insult our intelligence, the majority of the reviews here have only reviewed ONE film...which happens to be this garbage heap and give it a 10 rating, saying things like "this is being the best film movie I have ever saw! A must to watch!" Meaning, these are obviously coming from people involved directly with this mess (or their friends).

The movie isn't super, the plot Johnnie Allen being an American CIA spy is more or less just filler/fluff in this movie. There's a whole bunch of plot holes BUT- It's enjoyable and the characters are actually amicable. It kinda sounds like they Google Translated the script from Dutch to English but it's not the worst thing you'll ever hear. I'm giving it a 6 mostly because I came away from the movie feeling warmed, Johnnie and Sander's love story was fun to follow (even though it got a bit confusing at times).

At the core, two guys show there love for each other in the most humane way, through awkwardness, miscalculations, and then finally fine trust and love. A lovely film of coming out.
