Away from the microphone, David is soft spoken, shy and unsure of himself. However, as his on-air alias ‘Danger Dave,’ the host of “Gay Talk,” he’s poised, witty, and every listener’s best friend. His sister, Kate, a thrice divorced banker has a yen for Schumann and cats. Though successful, the siblings suffer from a secret, yet vast, sense of inadequacy. Kate decides to adopt and asks David to be a father figure. David gawkily romances his coworker. Past and present intertwine to tell the story of a man learning to love and accept himself.

Notes
This is a well done "feel good" movie. Although I admit I never understood why his off-air personna was so different from his on-air.
I was born in Buffalo, and grew up in East Aurora, one of the villages mentioned in the film. It was a bit of a nostolgia trip seeing various sceens from the movie. During my lifetime I've seen Buffalo at its best, then during bad times as its industrial base left, and now again as it begins to rebuild. I essentially left the area when I graduated from high school, although I lived for a year or so in the city after I graduated college.
