This film unfolds like a kooky midlife crisis sitcom with its dealings of grownup issues and stereotypes in gay/straight cultures and Brooklyn. (Don’t be scared, the film is never less than likable). Gayby tackles the bramble of complications that arise when a thirty-something straight woman decides to cash in on a drunken college pact and get pregnant ‘the old fashioned way’ with her gay male best friend. Actual intercourse is needless to say, awkward. They wind up having to take a somewhat more indirect approach with a little help from Nelson, a blithely bitchy wisecracker played by the scene-stealing Lisecki.

Cleverly written and sharply acted, Lisecki deftly handles broad comedy with warm-and-fuzzy sentiment and refreshingly ‘indie’ independent film making. – Levi Elder
