The top 18 gay-positive comedy movies: Bill and Ted, Jay and Silent Bob, zombies, pixies, time travelers, and Adam Devine in love

As Donald O'Connor told us, "All the world wants to laugh."  There's plenty of gloom and sadness in real life; why would I want to watch it for two hours on a movie screen?  The trick is to find a comedy movie with beefcake, minimal hetero-romance, and gay characters who are not offensive stereotypes.  Heck, I'll even take gay subtexts. 

These are my 18 favorite movies with gay characters or subtexts, at least those that I've reviewed here or on the G-rated site. 

Only from 2016-2026.  If I went earlier, the list would include: After Hours, Auntie Mame, On the Town,  Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Some Like It Hot, To Wong Foo, Victor/Victoria...

Get Duked (2016): An anarchic, hip-hop inspired comedy about four city boys lost in the woods, being chased by a paranormal entity or a crazed tourist.  Two of them fall in love.

 Why Him?  (2016). Conservative dad meets his daughter's eccentric fiance.  Meanwhile Adam Devine and Griffin Gluck have a gay subtext romance that's off the charts.

Game Over, Man (2018). Gay gangsters, the Workaholics guys, and five minutes of Adam Devine's divine d*ck.  What's not to like?

 

Crazy Rich Asians (2018). A soap opera involving crazy rich Asians, with beefcake, a gay stereotype, and some gay subtexts.

The Dead Don't Die (2019): Zombie Apocalypse in a small town, played mostly for laughs, with some gay subtexs.  And when you search for it online, you get Josh O'Connor's junk.

 

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019).  Jay (right) and Silent Bob, the heterosexual life partners from the View Askew Universe have settled down and...become gay positive.  This is a precursor to the guys chaperoning Ozzie on his first date on That Nineties Show

Bill and Ted Face the Music (2020).  The most excellent Bill and Ted return, in a canonical four-way romance, with a nonbinary child and no homophobia.

Spies in Disguise (2020).  Animated feature with Will Smith and Tom Holland as gay-subtext buddy spies.  Also there are penguins.

Pixie (2021)   Gangster's daughter is forced to flee across the Irish countryside with a gay subtext couple, Ben Hardy and Daryl McCormack.  They give us the rarest of queer codes, staying together at fade-out rather than going their separate ways or getting girlfriends.   Pixie flies off to art school, and the guys ask "Where shall we go now?"

More after the break

Fire Island (2022): a group of friends with characteristics that often get rejected on Grindr profiles (no fats, femmes, Asians, or old guys) head to the gay resort for a week of (hopefully) getting laid.  Don't mix it up with the gay-free Fire Island (2023).

Falling for Christmas (2022): Lindsay Lohan's boyfriend is rescued by Santa Claus, but his New Year's Eve date is the hotel manager.

Christmas on Cherry Lane (2023). Three families on the same street, including a gay couple (Vincent Rodriguez III, Jonathan Bennet) who are trying to adopt a child on Christmas Eve.  More warmedy than comedy, but there's a big plot twist that you won't see coming

The Out-Laws (2023). Bank manager Adam Devine tries to impress his future father-in-law, who happens to be a bank robber.  

 Operation Taco Gary's (2024). A gay movie star, Keefe, the American Pie guy, the d*ck that got censored, tacos, and aliens. It falls apart at the end, but before that, everybody's gay.

Sweethearts (2024): Thanksgiving romcom demonstrates that there's gay life in rural Ohio.  Quite a lot of it. Add hot Short Guy Sage Ftacek, and...

Playdate (2025). Paul Blart and Reacher push their sons together. With lots of plot holes...um, I mean plot twists, but how often do you see a movie about twelve-year old boys in love?

Pizza Movie (2026). A surreal update of the teen nerd genre, with no heterosexism or homophobia, lots of butts, and Daniel Radcliffe as a butterfly

Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice (2026): Time travel, gangsters, gay subtexts, Jimmy Tatro, and the incredibly hot Arturo Castro.
