Easily one of my favorite gay-centered movies of 2024, Big Boys is now available for streaming on Dekkoo. Big Boys is a winning coming-of-age film from writer/director Corey Sherman, who beautifully captures the magical first blush of queer crush. The movie took home the coveted Audience Award when it debuted at Outfest Los Angeles. The film centers on Jamie (Isaac Krasner), a plus-size 14-year-old aspiring chef who unexpectedly experiences his first-ever feelings of romantic attraction when he meets his cousin’s beefy new boyfriend, Dan (David Johnson III). The film’s official synopsis reads:
“Jamie’s dream camping trip is ruined before it even begins when he finds out that his beloved cousin is bringing her new boyfriend. However, Jamie’s initial jealousy of the competent and confident Dan quickly turns into a friendship as they bond over cooking, games and both being ‘big boys.’
“But, as the weekend progresses, despite Jamie’s brother’s attempts to set him up with a girl staying at the campsite, all Jamie wants to do is hang out with Dan. As his burgeoning crush gets him into awkward scrapes and arguments, Jamie begins to come to terms with who he is, and who he desires.”
Here’s the official trailer.
