Fire Island (2022)

Jude Dry of IndieWire gave the film an "A-" rating.[20] Dry found Booster's screenplay amusing and stated that Andrew Ahn's direction "brings a cinematic touch that elevates the comedy."[20] Odie Henderson of RogerEbert.com rated the movie 3 out of 4 stars and called it an entertaining and heartfelt romantic comedy film.[21] Henderson complimented Booster's screenplay for its humor and its approach on racial issues, and praised Ahn's approach to plot lines and characters conflicts.[21] Henderson also singled out cinematographer Felipe Vara de Rey, saying he manages to provide a nostalgic feeling about the island of the same name.[21]

Booster delivers not one but two eligible bachelors (and a few not so eligible ones, of course) in the form of dopey sweetie Charlie (James Scully) and brooding Mr. Darcy stand-in Will (Conrad Ricamora). Along with bitchy muscle gay Cooper (Nick Adams), this considerably whiter group represents the moneyed gays that flock to the island from their Chelsea condos every weekend, renting impeccably designed houses with hot tubs. When Charlie takes a shining to Howie, the two groups are suddenly forced to mingle against their better judgement.

Best friends Noah (Joel Kim Booster) and Howie (Bowen Yang), two gay Asian men, are off for their annual pilgrimage to FIRE ISLAND. The pair travel to the resort island with their eclectic group of misfit friends, including Keegan (Tomas Matos), Luke (Matt Rogers), and Max (Torian Miller). They stay at the house of their substitute mom, Erin (Margaret Cho), who announces she has to sell the place and this will be their last summer there. Noah is determined to help Howie meet a man, which he does in preppy pediatrician Charlie (James Scully). But Noah doesn't expect that he might also meet someone special in Charlie's awkward friend Will (Conrad Ricamora).

Enveloped within the racy language and explicit sexual content of this film are some hearteningly authentic messages about friends, family, and romantic love. That duality makes Fire Island a journey of discovery for viewers as much as for the characters, who find love in unexpected places, Pride and Prejudice-style. We're guided along by the straight-talking and drily funny narration of Noah (played by Joel Kim Booster, who also wrote the script). It proves helpful to have him as a tour guide for the island's traditional festivities, and Booster also takes on a tongue-in-cheek anthropologist's tone in explaining some aspects of the gay community.

The cabin is located on a barrier island. We have waterfront property on the Great South Bay, where guests go out in sail boats, kayaks, and canoes. A two-minute walk brings you to miles and miles of a white sand beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Walk to many interesting communities, including the Sunken Forest.
