 A Touching Comedy . . . July 30, 2005
T. J. Iglesias (Miami, Florida U.S.A.)

The murder of a male model in a gay, beachfront enclave of L.A. warrants an undercover investigation, so police officer Benson (Ryan O'Neal), a straight, macho, law-and-order type, is assigned to partner with file clerk Kerwin (John Hurt), a mild-mannered homosexual. Benson and Kerwin are to pose as a gay couple who have just moved to the area. At first, Benson's slovenly ways drive the fussy Kerwin to distraction, while Kerwin's sexual orientation and prissy manners are a source of constant frustration for straight arrow Benson. However, the two eventually become friendly roommates, if not exactly friends, and Benson even begins to see the world through Kerwin's eyes. Although he carries a badge, the fussy Kerwin is essentially a civilian, but as he and Benson close in on the murderer, Kerwin reveals himself to be a far more capable cop than Benson assumes him to be.
This movie was made long before the openness of the the gay community and may seem somewhat simplistic in the way it deals with the subject, but that is part of what makes it so funny. It is respectful of both sides of the fence, and allows us to see what stereotyping is capable of leading to. It does exactly what a comedy should do, it keeps you laughing throughout the entire movie. It is well worth a watch and a shame that it doesn't come in a DVD format.

A straight cop hooks up with a gay associate and they pose as a homosexual couple to crack down the murder of a prominent gay. Offensive and quite silly at times, but provides many laughs and offbeat characterizations. Not one to miss!

If you want drama, don't get this movie. If you are in the mood for a laugh and don't want to work hard at watching something, this is it. Enjoyed it, kept me entertained, didn't have any slow parts, all this and I didn't have to think hard about it. Have fun with this movie...and don't take yourselves too seriously.
