IT’S ALL ABOUT TENTN AND EXECUTN, I GUS, EFFABLE QUALI THAT SHE THROUGH THE MOST SUCCSFUL TRANSFORMATNS. THAT’S A NUANCE THAT PRECLUS ANY HARD AND FAST LE ABOUT WHO SHOULD PLAY GAY MEN ON SCREEN. IN GENERAL, Y, I WISH MORE GAY ACTORS GOT THE CHANCE TO TELL OUR STORI, EMBODY OUR PEOPLE, RATHER THAN STRAIGHT MEN GETTG ACLAS FOR BEG BRAVE—OR CHEERS FOR BEG SASSY. IT DON’T BOTHER ME, THOUGH, ANY GRANDLY ABSOLUTE WAY. I KNOW ’S BAD WHEN ’S BAD, BUT OTHERWISE I’M NOT TOO FSED ABOUT . WELL, AT LEAST, I WASN’T. THEN I WATCHED THE PROM (NETFLIX, DECEMBER 11), RYAN MURPHY’S FILM VERSN OF THE RECENT BROADWAY MIL, AND I GOT MAD ALL OVER AGA. THE PROM IS ABOUT A BUNCH OF SELF-VOLVED NEW YORK THEATER ACTORS SCENDG ON AN INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL TO PROTT A LBIAN STUNT BEG SENTIALLY BARRED OM ATTENDG HER PROM. ONE OF THE ACTORS IS A GRAND OLD SHOW QUEEN, BARRY GLICKMAN, A VA SWISH WHOSE STAR IS FADG BUT STILL LOOMS AS A LEGEND OF THE FORM. I’M THKG NATHAN LANE, IF HIS STAR HAD ACTUALLY FAD. BUT THE FILM, HE’S NOT PLAYED BY LANE. NOR IS HE PLAYED BY BROOKS ASHMANSKAS, THE OUT GAY THEATER MASTAY WHO PLAYED THE ROLE THE BROADWAY PRODUCTN AND RECEIVED A TONY NOMATN FOR HIS TROUBL. BARRY IS STEAD PLAYED BY TALK-SHOW HOST AND OCSNAL ACTOR JAM CORN, MOST RECENTLY SEEN ON THE BIG SCREEN CATS.CORN, WHO IS STRAIGHT, IS SO BAD THE PROM—SOMEHOW BOTH APPALLG AND TERMALLY BLAND—THAT HAD ME THKG MAYBE THE HARDLERS WERE RIGHT ALONG.

MURPHY, A GAY MAN, HAS LED SOME STRAIGHT ACTORS TO FERTILE GAY TERRORY BEFORE, LIKE DARREN CRISS THE ASSASSATN OF GIANNI VERSACE. BUT CORN, FLTG AND LISPG AROUND THE MOST UNSPIRED OF RITUR, MISS ALL POTENTIAL FOR NUANCE, AND TH NEVER FDS EVEN A HT OF TTH THE ROLE. AND THIS IS A MOVIE THAT’S SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT EMPOWERG QUEER PEOPLE! THERE’S LTLE GOOD ELSEWHERE THE PROM, SAVE FOR NEWERS JO ELLEN PELLMAN AND ARIANA DEBOSE AS THE WSOME YOUNG UPLE AT THE CENTER OF THE PROM-TROVERSY. THEY ADD DASH OF BRIGHT THEATER-KID MOXIE TO THE FILM, NJURG UP A B OF WHAT FEELS LIKE TO S A BROADWAY HOE AND WATCH A BUNCH OF LOVABLE GOOBERS BELT THEIR HEARTS OUT. OTHERWISE, THE PROM IS STAGED NFG, TRATG WAYS. MURPHY SHOOTS A LOR PALETTE RANGG OM GAY DISTHEQUE AT 11PM ON A THURSDAY TO THIRD PERD PHYSICS CLASS, NONE OF WHICH SPIR MUCH WONR ANY GIVEN SCENE. DURG A MIL NUMBER THAT’S A SLAVISH HOMAGE TO BOB FOSSE, MURPHY BARELY EVEN SHOWS THE TWO CHARACTERS’ LEGS OR FEET—LET ALONE THEIR WHOLE BODI GLOR MOTN. INSTEAD, HE FILMS THEM MOSTLY OM THE SHOULRS UP—SOMEWHERE, GWEN VERDON IS SCREAMG. MURPHY DON’T SEEM TO HAVE ANY TE TERT , OR UNRSTANDG OF, WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE ABOUT MILS. THE PROM IS A SHELLACKED LUMP OF HOLLYWOOD PRODUCT, ALL NNED FABULONS—CLUDG CORN’S NOX MUGGG—AND NONE OF THE DIFFICULT, AWE-SPIRG TECHNILY THAT MAK MIL PERFORMANCE TLY SNAP AND SG WH THEATER’S SCRAPPY MAGIC. EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T SEE A PARTICULAR STAGE SHOW—AS I DIDN’T, THIS SE—A FILM VERSN N STILL EVOKE SOME OF THAT THRILL, WHEN DONE RIGHT. IT N EVEN EXPAND UPON , WAYS UNIQUE TO CEMA.

THEY’RE MOSTLY PUT TO WASTE. KIDMAN IS STUCK THAT OBFTG FOSSE NUMBER AND OTHERWISE DISAPPEARS. KEY AND WASHGTON PLAY THEIR SQUARE PARTS WELL—HE’S THE KDLY PRCIPAL, SHE THE BIGOTED HEAD OF THE PTA—BUT THEY N’T PERFORM THEIR WAY EE OF THE FILM’S LEAN WEIGHT. STREEP DO SOME PLEASANTLY RELIABLE STREEPY THGS, BUT SHE’S NOT A BELTER, AND HER ROLE—BASILLY A MIX OF PATTI LUPONE AND . . . WELL, MIGHT JT BE PATTI LUPONE—IS MEANT FOR A BELTER.
