Andrew Ahn, who directed the sensitive. moving dramas "Spa Night" and "Driveways," shows his talent for comedy with Hulu's "Fire Island." The film, written by and starring Joel Kim Booster, is a contemporary take on Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," with an almost-all gay male cast. (Margaret Cho, playing a lesbian den mother, is the sole woman).
In the film, Noah (Booster) helps his best friend Howie (Bowen Yang) connect romantically with Charlie (James Scully), a hot doctor who seems attracted to him. However, as Noah meddles in Howie's affairs, obstacles arise for the potential couple. What is more, Noah is both attracted to and repelled by Charlie's friend, Will (Conrad Ricamora, exceptional in the Darcy role).
