I chose this movie because it's interesting in that the main character's gender is never revealed (neither is that of their love interest). It is assumed (at least by other characters) that these two (Pat and Chris) are heterosexual, and therefore at least one of them is female, and in addition there is Pat's neighbor, Mrs. Riley and Kathy Griffin. Pat talks with Mrs. Riley about things besides Chris/other men, but Chris doesn't talk to any explicitly female characters. Of course, it is possible that Pat and Chris are both female, meaning that Kyle would be the only male character. Or maybe Pat and Chris are both male. Who knows? Highly dubious.
