This movie didn't work for me at all. I suppose part of the problem was the plot. I can see the lesson for a straight guy who learns what it is to be gay, but what lesson can there be for a gay guy who learns what it means to be straight? Really, there is nothing there. All you can do really is focus on the mechanics of what might happen to a gay guy who was suddenly into women. Embarrassing for his gal pals! I guess I also reject the precept that men would change so completely just because of a change in sexual orientation. Sexual orientation and sexuality are not that important. Their whole characters would not have changed like that.Another problem was the writing. The overt homophobia of the straight guys, especially good-looking white guys living in LA in 2011 (and their fathers), was just over the top. It was an unsophisticated imagining of what straight guys think and say. It made me uncomfortable because it felt forced and cheesy.Another problem for me was that Nathaniel Marston was too sexy for his role. To me, it seemed unrealistic that a guy like this would be like this.I didn't find the movie offensive (unlike other reviewers). I just found it lame.

There are small, independent films with gay themes that are gems, like 'Trick', and, 'But I'm a Cheerleader'. Sometimes these small films can be a bit amateurish, with poor lighting, sound, and sets but the movies are good so you can forgive the little issues. Unfortunately, 'Walk a Mile in My Pradas' is not in league with either of these films and the tech problems are magnified because the plot is so thin and the jokes so forced and unfunny. If you have seen the trailer for Walk a Mile in My Pradas then you have already seen the best jokes in the film. This movie uses a gimmick that has been used many times in other movies and works even less in this film. I gave it a 2 because that was how many times I actually laughed. I was expecting more.

I had so much fun watching this movie. I don't understand why I never saw it come out in theaters??? Luckily for me I am in love with Nathaniel Marston from One Life, and follow what he's up to or else I would never have found this gem. He was great in this fast paced, comedy. I really didn't know he could be so funny. The whole movie was really funny and well made. I thought Tom Arnold was hilarious, and the acting was great over-all. The Actors who play the parents are fantastic, and the other lead guy was great as well.I don't know a lot about writing and direction, but it seems like these guys hit the bulls-eye.

Great stuff!This film was really funny, AND SMART.I am so very impressed with the way this subject matter was handled by the writers... Nothing too offensive, nothing too preachy, just really well done.And, watching it from an actors perspective... You guys rocked it! I am speaking about Tom (Archdeacon) and Nathaniel (Marston - not that there is another Nathaniel in the film). Tom Arnold was great too.Knowing that you guys were working with very limited resources... You should be proud of yourselves.
