The Teen Sex Genre Takes a New Twist in 'Date and Switch'



I would imagine that the okedoke this trailer pulled on me was pretty much what the filmmakers intended, it also explains the title. As you'll see in the below trailer we start with what has become the teen comedy template...two guys, Matty and Micheal, who have one thing on their mind, sex. Then the left turn, Matty tells Michael that he's gay in one of the most hilarious and, probably, realistic dialogues we've seen in a teen comedy. What follows is actually quite heartwarming...and awkwardly hilarious, as Michael stands by Matty as he explores his newly found gay culture....while simultaneously trying to court Matty's old girlfriend. Times were different when I was in high school, so I don't know how "out there" the premise is, but I would imagine that this is something today's youth is seeing more of so it's really cool to see it addressed in a not so heavy way.
