As others point out, this is a movie that has was too much dialogue (the comparison to My Dinner With Andre with Speedos is apt) - and the director is definitely in love with his words unfortunately, it's an excessively narcissistic obsession that no one else will be able to share, much less enjoy.What passes for wit is that even though the soap opera actor lead is 12 years older than the gay activist role, the mid-30s man living in West Hollywood and active in the gay community would not know some random pop culture references such as Dynasty and Dallas (for which the other actor would have been a teenager during their height).
I have seen lower budget films than "Role/Play." I have seen worse scripts and worse acting.
I in joyed the movie, wish it was on DVD or Blue ray, I would love to add it to my video library it was that good.
