Boliki's use of home video from his childhood is almost inspired. But sadly he blunts the impact of his every attempt at humor by delivering the punch line before telling the joke. It's a simple criticism, but a vital one. Not everyone likes unsolicited advice, but here's mine. If you flip-flopped the the 'celebrity' statement of the stereotype with the childhood clip that bares it out, I think the film would flow much better. Aside from that it's nice, fun short with a few laughs. But, again, I think with a few simple edits it could be much better. Still, see it if you get the chance. 20 Gay Stereotypes is at least as good if not a little better than most of the fare you'll see at most gay film festivals.
