Gay Awful American Summer
Ok first of all the amount of positive reviews this has is fake. I trusted them going in, and was super excited. I didn’t expect spectacular writing or acting as the performers are super young but I guess I was looking for a fun, slightly nonsensical, gay version of wet hot American summer. Nope, not what I got in the least. The jokes were stupid and mean and reductive, every character was literally a walking stereotype with no depth whatsoever, and they have a sub plot that contains potential bestiality which is a problem when you consider that some people today literally equate being gay with having sex with animals. I did not laugh once and honestly felt so much second hand embarrassment for the actors. The talent show was awful, and one of the actors made a joke about how you can’t be successful if you’re in the Minnesota fringe. They should count their lucky stars that this fringe has a lottery based system, in my opinion. Also, you can’t get super high for like 2 seconds on juuls they’re just nicotine!! I don’t even smoke and I know that!!
