Amazing. The hype is justified. My review.

The point was to establish some "heat", an "edge" to the friendship. I think.
Again, watch movies with your EYES OPEN. Zendaya has acted amazing in this movie.

So if a white man marries an Asian woman he's gay? She is Canadian, about the same age as him, and very smart, and director of Oscar nominated ''Past Lives'. Why WOULDN'T any man want to marry her? And you are wrong about the movie as well. Learn to stay awake during movies!
This movie is about the dualism that is present in all male friendships. On one hand, there is one-up-manship and competition (subtle or not) with each other. On the other hand is genuine concern and affection for your friend. When a man is competing against his close friend for any prize (a tennis match, or a girl or whatever) his ego wants him to win, but there is another side that feels bad for his friend if the friend were lose.
In this case, it is indicated that both friends are 'turned on' by that competitiveness, and desire for the same prize. Whether they are gay or bi is not directly addressed and is irrelevant.
Art is shown to be losing his competitive edge and the final match is a brutal clash of egos. When Art smashes the ball and lands on the other side in the arms of Patrick, it indicates that he has spent his competitiveness and it indicates the return of their old camaraderie, and their care and affection for each other as best friends.
Will the two friends now dump Zendaya and marry each other? I don't think so. I am not sure the movie indicates that they are closet homosexuals. Their attraction toward Zendaya is real. I think the film's ultimate point is that in the long run, what's really important is the close bond you share with your close friends. All of us get so obsessed with "competing" in life that we tend to forget the bonds that are most important.
As for why Fandango wants to focus on Audience reviews, only people who buy tickets through Fandango can post audience reviews. So it wants to focus on the $$$ and wants to offload critics reviews.
Well then when have libs ever BANNED anything? We boycott, just like consies.
I thumbs-downed your post.
You are nasty R_kane. Very, very nasty.
No. It had NOTHING to do with quality. You consies boycotted Budlight because you disagreed with its politics. So to appropriately change your statement: "LMAO. CONSIES ban anything they disagree with".
