Don't come into this looking for stellar production values or a revelatory tale. 'The Thing About Harry's' strong suit is the dynamo chemistry between its two leads, who breathe life into otherwise uninhabited characters. It's a film for those who have love in their hearts, or those who need a good dose of it. Just be prepared for some silliness and schmaltz along the way. - Charlie David Page Read Charlie's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-thing-about-harry-a-gay-tale-for-the-romantics
