Review of Fire Island (2022) by Tvjerry — 05 Jun 2022
A group of friends gathers in Fire Island for one last summer, but not before amorous drama ensues. This is based very loosely on Pride and Prejudice with the gang putting up with snobby queens, while looking for true love.
Comic Joel Kim Booster wrote and stars (while constantly bearing his fit body), along with his real-life best friend Bowen Yang (of Saturday Night Live fame). Their on-screen friendship and quest for romance comprises most of the plot.
The other members of the group (including Margaret Cho) are primarily relegated to the occasional wise crack, which brings up the most disappointing part of the movie, it's not that funny. Sure, there are few choice lines, but this film relies more on the energy of the ensemble to keep it bright and breezy.
It may appeal gay audiences, but THIS gay audience was hoping for more outrageous fun.
