DATE AND SWITCH (2014)

Michael (Nicholas Braun) and Matty (Hunter Cope), best buds since childhood, remain virgins as seniors in high school.  Both have broken up with their respective girlfriends - Michael's wouldn't put out, and Matty saw his as too good for him - and, determined not to leave high school as virgins, the boys makes a pact that each will lose his virginity at prom.  Things get shaken up, however, when Matty finally gets up the  nerve to reveal to Michael that he's "a gay dude" - shocking Michael because Matty's a bit chunky, doesn't like to bathe a lot, and has a stoner mentality ... certainly not fitting any gay mold.  After an initial rockiness, Michael becomes more determined than ever to show his buddy being gay is cool, even focusing his attention on getting Matty laid first - leading to some funny situations, but also the question of how accepting Michael really is of the change in their friendship.  A charming, very funny indie comedy that, refreshingly, avoids gay stereotypes in ways most films don't ... or won't. (rated R)  ***1/2
