The winter series kicks-off with Happy Endings. In this amazing ensemble comedy about the messes of life, writer/director Don Roos opens and heals family and romantic wounds with grace, intelligence and wit. Abortion clinic counselor Mamie (Lisa Kudrow) is having an affair with a studly Mexican Masseuse, Javier (Bobby Cannavale). As a youth she had sex with her stepbrother, Charley (Steve Coogan), became pregnant, and secretly put the baby up for adoption. Years later, an obnoxious aspiring filmmaker, Nicky (Jesse Bradford), shows up claiming to know her son’s whereabouts. This information doesn’t come without a catch: Mamie has to let Nicky make a documentary about their reunion. Charley, now openly gay, and his boyfriend Gil (Testosterone’s David Sutcliffe) have another baby-related mystery to solve: did their lesbian best friends secretly use Gil’s sperm to conceive an infant? Meanwhile, a young singer, Jude (Maggie Gyllenhaal), takes up with a rich closeted teenager, Otis (Jason Ritter), and his father (Tom Arnold). Otis, by the way, secretly has the hots for his employer, Charley! (2005, runtime: 128 minutes, rated R, summary by Lawrence Ferber).

Saturday continues with Bollywood & Vine. This is the tale of Bhuvan Bannerji, a Hollywood tour bus driver who is "straight but confused." Delilah Leigh, an aging, has-been scream queen who hasn’t made a film in over two decades, is the focus of his infatuation. He becomes obsessed with the idea of whisking Delilah off her feet on to a set back home in "Bollywood." After writing "the greatest comeback movie of all time," a tribute to all those 1960s horror flicks that gave new life to the careers of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, Bhuvan knocks on Delilah’s door. He meets Delilah, just as gorgeous as ever, and her assistant Delia. The young bus driver finds himself attracted to the actress but imagine his surprise when he realizes that "she" is really Devin, the real Delilah’s son, in drag! Delilah attempts to help the romance along by locking Bhuvan in the attic with Devin. Throw in a nosy neighbor, some outlandish situations and a gay wedding and you’ll find that anything can happen on Bollywood and Vine Streets! (2004, runtime: 85 minutes, not rated).

Sunday closes with All Over the Guy. Opposites attract in this classic gay romantic comedy about two very different gay men and their search for true love. Eli (Dan Bucatinsky, who wrote the screenplay based on his stage production) is a cute, neurotic X-Files addict whose favorite film is Gone with the Wind. When his straight best friend and next-door neighbor Brett (Adam Goldberg of Saving Private Ryan) falls in love with Jackie (Sasha Alexander from TV’s Dawson’s Creek), Eli is set up with Jackie’s hunky best friend, Tom (Richard Ruccolo of TV’s Two Guys and a Girl). However, whereas Eli is commitment oriented, Tom claims to be only looking for a good time. From their disastrous first date, through a tentative romance, to periods of not speaking to each other, Tom and Eli try to get close but are often foiled by their own insecurities. The film amusingly flips back and forth between Eli and Tom recounting their relationship to strangers, each trying to believe that they are "all over the guy." Director Julie Davis coaxes wonderful performances out of her attractive cast, and Bucatinsky’s witty screenplay features some great, fast-talking dialogue. (2000 runtime: 95 minutes rated R).
