Modest Male Exposure 2: I Dream of Genes (2024)

SUPRISINGLY FUNNY AND ORIGINAL! I saw this movie at a club in New York City in November 2024. It was right after the Presidential election and the mood of the whole country was very tense, and everybody was exhausted from the constant political news every day. I did not know what to expect, except that someone who knew some of the cast told me it was supposed to be hilarious. They weren't kidding! "Modest Male Exposure 2" was just what I needed to escape the "real" world. At first the movie seemed like it was going to be just a series of vignettes, like "Sex and the City" except from a male perspective... with a LOT of unexpected full-frontal male nudity. OMG everybody just seemed really horny in this movie! But then there was a serious plot about the main character who finds out he has a son that he did not know he had from a DNA test. The scenes between the father and the new son were really very sweet. The rest of the audience really seemed to love it too, although I suspect that most of the people there were friends with the cast and the director. Some scenes were outright hilarious, such as when the father and son first meet in a restaurant, and then when the son hides in the closet and watches his father have sex with another guy's girlfriend... Overall, highly recommended if you like crazy comedies with a lot of male nudity.
