Full Plot Details

John thinks he's got it all figured out. He's young, good looking and has always had a way with the ladies. After a break-up with his girlfriend, he moves west to Los Angeles for a fresh start. He is officially back on the market and looking to score. Crashing on his buddy Andy's couch is a comforting return to the college patterns of partying, womanizing and trash talk with the guys. However, reconnecting with his old flame Maddie proves to be surprising when she introduces him to her girlfriend, Anna. An aspiring photographer, John takes an entry-level position at an ad agency, determined to prove himself. Things get a little confusing when Paul, a successful executive at the firm, takes a special interest in John, and when John ends up in Paul's bed, his world is turned completely upside down. The Art of Being Straight explores one man's unexpected search for identity. More than just a story of seduction, John's journey to find himself proves to be almost more than he can handle, yet he discovers that accepting the unknown also brings unlimited possibilities.

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisSmart without being smart-alecky, Mr. Rosen's writing avoids the aggressive cleverness and gummy politics of many similarly themed movies, focusing instead on realistic dialogue and low-key interaction.
NYC Movie Guru - 5/10 by Avi OfferMildly engaging with an initially intriguing premise and brief moments of wittiness, but ultimately falls flat as a drama. Its bland protagonist, along with a lazy, unimaginative screenplay, leaves you feeling unmoved and underwhelmed.
Variety - 3/10 by Dennis HarveyA low-key comedy high on charm and credible twentysomething observation.
Village Voice - 3/10 by Ernest HardyThe psychologically flat script isn't nearly up to the task of depicting the pleasure within confusion/despair (or vice versa); neither are Rosen's acting chops.
User Review - 10/10 by David MLoved this film's awkward, art-school approach. Feels like an instant classic.
User Review - 8/10 by dylan sA nice semi-indie film that doesn't go to deep but moves along nicely without getting too serious. Has a few very profound parts, especially the part where the lesbian almost hooks up with her neighbor and pulls herself back.
User Review - 8/10 by Shannon MI really enjoyed this movie. I thought the characters were real and easy to relate to. The drama of the characters lives echos that of many people in today's society and I could really connect with the story. The movie maintains a light air about it and doesn't weigh you down and it flows well from beginning to end.
User Review - 6/10 by Tom Ras far as most mumblecore goes, this is pretty good. it has some great performances and some really truthful moments. and jesse rosen is just adorable.
User Review - 6/10 by Thomas FLes personnages ont des tempà (C)raments affirmà (C)s et correspondent à des stà (C)rà (C)otypes bien connus. L'ensemble est assez cohà (C)rents bien que certaines situations ou changements d'orientation soient à (C)tranges.
User Review - 6/10 by Julio CUna comedia de closet, sobre los dilemas de un chico que debe aceptar su sexualidad viviendo en un ambiente de heteros. Divertida y entretenida, aunque no del todo sobresaliente, adecuada para una sesión de cine relajada, sin esperar un argumento complejo y contenido trascendental.
