Happy Endings & Eleven Men Out

I saw two films from the Gay & Lesbian London film festival this week. I enjoyed Happy Endings - an excellent dark comedy involving all aspects of gay/lesbian life - Lisa Kudrow was great and Steve Coogan a superb gay man! Eleven Men Out was a slightly weird Icelandic film about a gay footballer. Funny perhaps but unbelievable - far too many stereotypes. It also seemed to want to include explicit gay sex for purely shock reasons (and although enjoyable as the guys were cute) it didn't really add to the plot in any way - except when it seemed to want to make the gay footballer's son even more upset by his father's behaviour.
