I'm straight and I liked this film but here's how it could be better


I enjoyed this film...

But here's my idea for an improvement to the movie. How I think it could have been funnier and more accessible to straight men.

After the scene where they are playing softball with the "straight men", the straight guys say that the losing team buys the winning team a night of free beers. The Straight guys win easily just like in the movie.

The respond with a quip like " anything you can do..we can do better"

Later that evening they all go to a bar crowded with beautiful, sexy young women. The straight men approach them only to get handily shot down in a humiliating way. Then you see scenes of all the gay men being lavished with attention by all the women in the bar. Women sitting in their laps, playing with their clothing, in a joking, playful manner.

One of the gay men respond back with a " yeah you sure can pick up women..better"

So later in the movie there would be a scene where the gay men help the straight men pick out clothes, get haircuts, dance and talk in an interesting way. Later they all go back and the straight men have success with the women who shot them down so quickly the first time.

Tell me this wouldn't play well?

Yeah, they already did that later on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
