A: Would a gay man take on the role of a laid off family man starpped for cash who uses his charm to sell Avon products and save his family? Yeah….
I know, I know, we’ve all seen The Full Monty, but this movies is the same…but different!! In Avon, Hugh ends up enlisting his friends to win the Avon selling competition. Wait…that is The Full Monty, I love Hollywood.
Story follows men laid off from an auto dealership. One is reluctantly recruited into becoming an Avon salesman, and while the experience is initially emasculating, he uses his charm and good looks to become a top seller. The comedy takes on a “Full Monty” vibe when the car salesman sets out to save his financially strapped family and town by conscripting his buddies into the makeup business to win a regional contest.
Look, If Hugh’s going to keep doing these kind of gender bending romantic comedies then he has to make his “strolls with the wife” a little more convincing.
