Overall I enjoyed the movie. Kristen being a gay icon gave me life. Aubrey served looks and Dan was great for comedic timing. However Mackenzie Davis, while being a great actress, Harper was not a likeable character. And it has nothing to do with Harper being in the closet. Rather from everything we saw of her, she was a liar and built a relationship based off of several lies. And she really does nothing to redeem herself. Being in the closet does not absolve you of being a bad girlfriend to literally everyone that we were showed that she dated.
That being said, I did like the movie and I will be watching it a few more times. I'm very happy that we have it, but we've got to do better with lead characters. Harper made it seem that gay girls should accept whatever from their partner because she's closeted, and that's just not true
