Vince Hopgood is a recently divorced theater owner with some serious tax problems. When Vince learns that a new tax loophole for live-in gay couples would allow him to keep his property, he asks his best friend, Ralph, to pose as his lover. In order to fool the taxman, the gruff, small-town Aussie pals make a clueless attempt to act like a homosexual couple. Along the way, they befriend actual gays and reevaluate stereotypes of the gay community.

This comedy about mateship is not the hilarious romp we wish for, but relies on key casting of Hogan and Caton to squeeze every drop of goodwill and humour from its premise. Go to Full Review
