In Coffee Date, Todd (Jonathan Bray) is a straight guy whose free loading brother (Jonathan Silverman) sets him up with an internet dating ad. Getting to the coffee shop for the blind date, Todd realizes that his date Kelly (Wilson Cruz) is a guy and his brother placed the ad in the “men seeking men” section. Todd and Kelly get back at his brother by pretending to be a couple, but soon the joke spirals out of control as everyone in Todd’s life quickly becomes convinced that he’s gay and that his protestations of being straight are part of his being in denial. A cute independent comedy.
