Happy Endings Sleepover

11/16/2019

The tone of the movie is a lighthearted spy adventure/young gay romance. The characters are all interesting and likeable, aside from the bad guys. There are challenges to overcome in both the adventure and romance portions of the story with both happy and dramatic moments. The story is told in short chapters and keeps moving. I enjoyed it very much. Spoilers follow: American Johnnie moves to Denmark for a job with the CIA. He moves into an apartment building with a variety of amusing characters. He meets Dane Sander and falls in love with him. Johnnie keeps this to himself as he believes Sander to be straight and because he is in the closet at his job lest he lose it. Johnnie goes on his first assignment to transport a Russian spy and Sander shows up to go along. Things go awry

So a novice CIA agent - "Johnnie Allen" - is sent to that hotspot of international espionage - Denmark - on a mission to repatriate an American spy home from Russia. En route he falls for the dewy eyed Sander (Jonas Kyed - who bears a passing resemblance to "the Crown"s Matt Smith) and our adventure begins. It's nonsense, from start to finish - and if the CIA really were recruiting folks like this then Vladimir has nothing whatsoever to worry about. It has comedy moments - whether intended or not and the plot (?) keeps you wondering if it can get any sillier.

This was different from a lot of other movies in that it had some action to it and it is based on real life events of the writer. I liked that it was different than most and I liked with the sex scene the characters talked about it after - which almost never happens in gay movies and I liked that the gay story was the main story and the rest were subplots. What I didn't like is that the characters made some incredibly stupid choices and put their lives in danger where common sense should have prevailed.
