This starts out when a gay guy in high school is harshly rejected by a straight guy and then it flashes forward many years and they end up working together. For the most part this was a good movie and dealt with some serious topics in a mostly humorous way; it was certainly trying to be a comedy. The problem with that was that the characters were all over the top in their actions and very confrontational with each other and while the story did advance, you saw very little evolution of the characters.
