It is not really a spoiler to tell that this is a gender movie, although not a typical one, because it is dressed up as a lighthearted comedy, which it truly is by the way. 25 minutes into the movie however the only main topic being discussed is if one is gay or not. It has got a clever disguise calling it a "Dirty Weekend" with a gorgeous woman as lead character in it, being stranded on an airport with an older man (Matthew Broderick). But after 25 minutes it turns out that the woman is lesbian and Matthew Broderick isnt sure what he is, but he wants to find out anyway...
Even if the story about gender cant arouse much interest, you will be pleased to hear that "Dirty Weekend" can still be enjoyed as a regular, laid back comedy, because Matthew Broderick is his usual stumbling funny character. And even if the girl is lesbian and there is no romance between her and Matthew Broderick, she is still a knockout and has got some pretty sharp comments about Brodericks character, that push the story further into new directions which do surprise.
As far as gender movies are concerned, it is nice to see a movie that is suited to be seen by everybody. No sex at all. In a Walt Disney movie you would see more nudity. Charming, very slowpaced, light comedy with some surprising twists. Not great, not bad, just really enjoyable.
