Under One Roof
Archive: Gay ThemedArchive: Watching
I?d meant to mention Under One Roof earlier. I?ll just quote TLA Video?s summary:
An erotic romance about an adorable, closeted Chinese-American guy who falls in love with his mother?s new tenant. Daniel (Wong) is a gay Chinese-American twenty-something who lives with his mother and grandmother in San Francisco. He is out to his friends, but certainly not to his mother, who is always trying to set him up with women. He keeps his life compartmentalized until a handsome gay manRobert (Marks) moves in downstairs. They flirt with each other, and Robert comes onto Danielonly to be rebuffed. Inevitably, they end up in the sack, and a tenuous relationship is formed. Their happiness is hampered by Daniel?s wariness of a connection so close to home, with his meddling mom always around.
To my taste it was too sappy, happy. Charles loved it. If you like happy endings you probably will as well. And it probably has special meaning to Asian-American gay men who come from very traditional families.

I'm a happily gay atheist. Homophobic, racist comments and conversion attempts are deleted.
Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
This is a personal hobby and shouldn't be confused with a more general sort of public forum or chatroom. you'd like to know more about me check about page.
Thanks, Richard
