I rewatched that movie some years ago and i have a love/hate relationship with that movie. The son in that movie is completely reprehensible, he’s constantly embarrassed by his parent’s personality AND sexual identity. I really don’t care if his fiancee’s dad was a bigot. Him being a politician i can at least tolerate his opinions being an open book, the son however has no excuse.
His gay dad and his partner were very sweet with each other, and their relationship with each other is the definite highlight of the movie and i’m willing to forgive they’re kind of caricatures of gay culture, and they low-key save the movie for me. But god damn the son in that i want to defenestrate.
If you’re in the mood to tear apart an old movie that back in the day was seen as normal you should rewatch Revenge of the Nerds and be prepared to be appalled over how awful the protagonists are.
