Bobby Riley (Pete Jones), an affable Irish-American guy-next-door, is gay and still in the closet. Bobby's discomfort with being openly gay is a source of friction in his relationship with his partner, Andy (Michael McDonald). His sister, straight-talking lawyer Maggie (Julie R. Pearl), knows Bobby's secret, and when their father dies, she persuades him to come out to his three brothers. The revelation doesn't just surprise his brothers, it forces some other family secrets to be revealed.

If this was the first script chosen on Project Greenlight, not only wouldn't there be Pete Jones' sophomore slump, there likely wouldn't have been ANY second Project. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
