Disney+ brings this latest spin on Jane Austen's Price And Prejudice reimagined as a contemporary gay rom-com, which works surprisingly well for the most part, as a group of supposedly working-class young friends go on their annual break to Fire Island and become entwined in a culture/class-clash with a bunch of wealthier guys. The LGBTQ factor gives rise to a number of sharp one-liners, the relationships maintain some recognisable Austen elements, the rom-com situation created feels typically as if it does not exist in anything remotely like the real world, and whilst the comedy takes an increasing backseat as the film progresses, performances are engaging and the film is generally sweet-natured and entertaining enough.
