Good grins

Warning: Spoilers
Anyone who hates this just doesn't get the concept of camp and parody. Like hello ... it's comedy, not Henry VIII, OK? Good grins all around. Good comedy often gets its message across though exaggeration. This movie is a good example of that. The homophobes and bigots are caricatures, not characters, and it works. Likewise, the romantic interest is exaggerated through its apparent superficiality. That's the point. This isn't about character development. It's about focusing the viewer on how they perceive the people around them, and pointing out the superficiality of their perceptions of others. In that, it succeeds. Though the ending was almost trite, they saved it in the end. Definitely worth a watch, and good messages all around.
