This seemed to miss the mark for me. It wasn't a bad movie, but it didn't really feel like the actors had any real chemistry together either. Basic story, a gay guy is dating a loser and his straight best friend decides to break them up by creating an AI boyfriend and making it look like the gay guy cheated at first. Then things get out of hand. I don't want to give away the story, and there were a few plot twists, but it could have been a shorter movie than it was.
