The Case of the Twisted Plot I rather liked the film, although I was puzzled by it. I suspect at some point the plot was: immature married heterosexual Mark and his gay best friend/tenant Alex (who's not-very-secretly been in love with Mark since their one-time high school fling) take an impromptu trip to the big city. Married guy cheats on his wife. Gay best friend walks in on said cheating and decides he's had enough of mooning over this unrequited love. When the two get back, Mark's wife has left him and Alex resolves to move on as well. After the cast is hired, the director decides out of the blue to switch the roles, make Mark gay and Alex straight, but go ahead and film the script as is and hope for the best. That's my best Sherlock Holmes solution to this mess. Good acting, good production, love the girl's song in the middle, but somebody needed to go back over the script and think about the characters and their motivations a lot more.
