Take Bad News Bears and set it on Bend it Like Beckham’s playing field, and you’ve got Guys and Balls, a light-hearted send-up of all the macho sports movies your straight friends forced you to see. Ecki is a sweet, closeted gay man who works in his family’s bakery and plays goalie in his small town’s soccer team. When he both loses the big game, and is caught flirting with another player, his homophobic teammates throw him out. He vows to return one day with an all-gay team that will grind the heteros into the dust, so he sets off to find his “dream team.” The final game is a delicious clash of straight machismo and gay fabulousness that will have you both laughing and cheering down to the ultimate showdown. In German with English subtitles. Description adapted from the Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.

Boston native Julie Goldman stars in this “classic buddy movie with a lesbian twist” (The Blade). The film follows the life of Kelly, an aspiring TV news reporter who is shipped off to Little Hope to gather data for her marketing firm, accompanied by Linda (Goldman), a butch, talkative cameraperson who has aspirations of her own. With no hotel rooms to be found, due to the annual chili cook-off, the two are forced to stay at the local youth hostel, where a pair of amorous dykes keeps Kelly from preparing for her big network interview. When all is said and done, Kelly and Linda learn a few things about themselves and each other that help them gain a greater perspective about life.
