Life after college: full of possibilities and new beginnings and a good time to define—or redefine—yourself. For John and Maddie in The Art of Being Straight, it’s also a time for jumping around on the Kinsey scale. John, a ladies man, moves from New York to Los Angeles and rekindles his friendship with quirky lesbian Maddie. When romantically pursued by his male boss, John struggles with his fondness for men while dealing with his homophobic friends. As Maddie’s girlfriend starts pressuring her to move in, she begins to find herself attracted to her sweet male neighbor. With witty, realistic dialogue and an involving plot, this film rebukes the archaic need for a set sexual identity.
