Bullock) determined to re-define his sexual orientation comes flaming to life on the big screen courtesy of director/animator Xeth Feinberg.

Critic Reviews

Ronnie Scheib, Variety
A 72-minute non-stop gagfest.
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
Some of the songs manage to be both coarse and catchy... others are less inspired. The jokes have about the same hit-to-miss ratio, with dozens of groan-worthy moments mixed in among some smart satire.
Paul Schrodt, Slant Magazine
Reiss takes advantage of the contemporary rift between '70s-born freewheeling gay lifestyle and modern gay domesticity.
Paul Schrodt, Slant Magazine
"If you're a sissy, or just a big prissy, don't get pissy, missy. It's Gay Day at Happy Land!"
David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
As a satire, it flops miserably, and as loose comedy, it flops even more.
