Description
“A head-spinning original rom-com!” – Queerty
Falling in love with the boy next door? That’s a dream come true. Falling in love with his father, too? That’s just awkward.
Writer/director Rob Williams (Make The Yuletide Gay, Role/Play) returns with a new romantic comedy about finding love a little too close to home. As he reluctantly celebrates his 40th birthday, Doug (Eric Dean, star of Arizona Sky and Nine Lives) finds himself falling for two very different but equally lovable men – Jacob, a secure 50-year-old (Michael Nicklin) who came out later in life, and Colton, an adventurous 30-year-old (Benjamin Lutz, star of The Love Patient and Bite Marks) who literally is the boy next door. What Doug doesn’t know right away is that the two men are, in fact, father and son! How long can Doug juggle both relationships before everyone finds out the truth?

“The script is smart, the narrative clean and the performances excellent, especially Eric Dean, who makes Doug’s inability to decide, endearing … The Men Next Door does what movies should: it presents a fairly odd and near ridiculous situation and not only makes us believe it-it makes us believe in the trio at the center…and it goes that one step further and makes us root for all three characters. Kudos to Williams and his team for pulling that off magnificently.” – New York Cool
“The Men Next Door is consistently unpredictable, and despite a concept worthy of a Greek tragedy, itβs filled with humor and heart.” – HomoPop
