You will smile, you will cry, you will laugh, you will dance in your seat - you will fall in love with Big Boys. Corey Sherman’s coming of age tale is simply one of the most lovable, smart and authentic gay comedies in years. Excited 14-yearold Jamie heads out for a camping weekend with his pain-in-the-ass brother Will and their cool beloved older cousin Allie. While Will tries to cajole Jamie to double date the girls from the campsite, Jamie has become oddly transfixed by Allie’s kind, handsome and bear-ish boyfriend, Dan. A confusing and supremely awkward trip unfolds as Jamie grapples with this new found attraction and the realisation it hints at.
The clumsiness of teenage desire hits perfectly home throughout this film. The script is a dream and this is most definitely a story where audiences laugh with the fat queer kid, not at them. The central performance by Isaac Krasner as a completely adorable Jamie needs all of the trophies.
