A hilarious, modern gay romp, To My Girls will keep you laughing until you realize that nothing momentous is going to happen like it does in the earlier, similarly structured The Boys in the Band.
Once traveling opens post-pandemic, a group of friends travel to Palm Springs for the ultimate gay getaway. While Castor (Maulik Pancholy), Leo (Britton Smith) and Curtis (Jay Armstrong Johnson) wait for their fourth to arrive, the drinks start to flow, and truth and gossip soon follows.
From the moment the three men get into the house, you can tell how opposite they each are and are clued into the drama. Though important topics are brought up between them, the conversations are predictable. They’re catty and you’ll question how these guys ever became friends.
Final say: An update that needs work. ★★★☆☆
