First Ever Gay-Themed Valentine’s Day Movie Coming On February
Freeform has announced a gay-themed Valentine’s day romantic movie called ‘The Thing About Harry’, which will premier in the network on February.
Jake Borelli stars in the movie as Sam, a gay man returning to his hometown in Missouri where he faced bullying after coming out as a high-school student. In his road trip home, Sam ends up having to share the trip with his high school nemesis Harry (played by Niko Terho).
Sam is described in Freeform press as “a handsome, funny, neurotic, intelligent young gay man who combines a scathing wit with an overly idealistic worldview.” Meanwhile, Harry is “an emotionally uncomplicated, promiscuous player who has always left a string of broken hearts in his wake. Under the surface, Harry actually yearns for love, family, and stability, but the thought of commitment still terrifies him.”
‘The Thing About Harry' costars Queer Eye’s Karamo Brown as Paul, an “overbearing and pretentious gay man.”
“As young gay men in the ’90s, whenever a rom-com opened, we would watch the leading lady fall in love, and imagine what it would be like if the boy was saying all those things to another boy,” executive producers Peter Paige, Greg Gugliotta, and F.J. Denny said. “We’ve always wanted to make a movie — an unabashedly romantic comedy — that queer boys wouldn’t have to translate. It’s rewarding to take the genre to a new, all-inclusive level.”
