When an internet "Coffee Date" goes awry, comedy ensues ...
Uptight and impeccably groomed, Todd (Bray) is set up on an internet blind date by his brother Barry (Silverman). To Todd's surprise the date, Kelly, is a gay man (Cruz). The two strike up a friendship and take revenge on Barry by reversing the joke, sauntering past him holding hands. Convinced that Todd is gay, Barry calls their mother (Kirkland) who hops on the next plane. Despite Todd's vehement denials, Mom now sees Todd's love of movies and theatre, as well as his lack of interest in sports as clear signs she'd previously missed. It doesn't take long before everyone in his life thinks he's gay, including his boss (Taylor-Young) and co-workers (Gibson, Stuart). This bedroom farce gets even more complicated when Kelly's roommate (Hendrix) adds her chemistry to the fray! Heartfelt and hilarious, it is a must-see movie with something for everyone!
