Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Congratulations, Howie. You're in one.A 2000 film revolving around the lives of a group of gay friends in Hollywood. Despite the subtitle, the movie is more of a Dramedy than romantic comedy. The intersecting plot lines revolve around: Dennis (Timothy Olyphant) - a photographer beginning to realize there's more to life than one night stands Benji (Zach Braff) - a young man perpetually attracted to the wrong men Patrick (Ben Weber) - a cynic who thinks himself the least desireable of his friends Cole (Dean Cain) - an actor with a habit of breaking hearts (though he never means to) Howie (Matt McGrath) - a student, prone to overanalysis and self-doubt Taylor (Billy Porter) - the only one in a long-term relationship it doesn't last Kevin (Andrew Keegan) - Benji's coworker who gets (inadvertently) stolen by Cole, and then begins the process of discovering he's gay. Eventually falls for Dennis.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })They are all tied together by their mentor and father figure, Jack (John Mahoney), who owns the restaurant most of them work at and provides them with advice and a shoulder to cry on.

Bookends - the film begins and ends with the same statement, said by two different characters.

Ambiguously Gay - Howie thinks he looks straight, but in a humorous scene at a Linens & Things, his friend Patrick takes him around to random strangers and asks them whether they think poor Howie is gay or straight. Only one hesitates, and when she asks him to cross his arms (prompting a pose right out of Vogue or Cosmo), she immediately agrees with everyone else. Gay it is! Also Kevin: "Well, here's to your first OGT. Obviously Gay Trait. Mine are: love of The Carpenters, culinary interests, and intense fear of blood sports."

All Lesbians Want Kids: Patrick's sister Ann and her partner Leslie want him to be their sperm donor (with Leslie as the biological mother, of course).
