(I disagree, and find this unfunny character trait simply distracting.) Overall, this is a rare film where I caught myself wondering exactly how much I &#8220;could&#8221; or should laugh; knowing it was written by a gay man helps, though Weston&#8217;s transphobia (he&#8217;s been misinformed that Moreno&#8217;s character is a man) is uncomfortable. Ultimately, as with all comedies, viewers will have to decide for themselves whether this is their cup of tea or not.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Notable Performances, Qualities, and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jack Weston as Gaetano Proclo<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-88735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston-481x270.png 481w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ritz-Weston.png 1295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>F.
