Almost Normal (2005)

Overview

ComedyDramaScience Fiction

A gay man approaching a mid-life crisis is tired of being different because he is gay. He wants to be normal. Suddenly he is yanked back in time to when he was in high school. But this time, the world is gay and to be straight is considered deviant behavior. Then something else happens. He meets a girl. And suddenly normal becomes ...well almost normal.

Best for:Solo: So you can pause to process what you just witnessed.·Friends: Group watch for the collective '...what?' energy.·Rewatch: Only if you're writing a thesis on 2000s queer cinema.
Heads up:Triggers: Depicts homophobia reversed; may hit differently than intended.
