A gay playboy tries to stop his best friend’s wedding in the adorable rom-com ‘John Apple Jack’

A charming gay indie rom-com from director Monika Mitchell, John Apple Jack follows John and Jack (Chris McNally and Kent S. Leung). As kids, they were best friends. Twenty years later, they’ve grown apart and now barely recognize each other.

A handsome gay man and heir to a restaurant empire, John lives with extravagance, bedding nearly every hot guy in town. But when he learns that his sister Vivienne is about to marry his childhood crush Jack, repressed passions ignite and he comes to believe that the wedding must be stopped.

Years of mounting tensions culminate into an over-heated argument in the kitchen. The spoiled, promiscuous John was once easy for Jack to ignore. But the newer, penniless, more soulful version might just prove too hard to kick to the curb.

Before the fresh, bountiful ingredients rot away in a glamorous but empty kitchen, the challenge for both John and Jack is to find a way to blend money, sex, love and family into one sumptuous recipe for life.

Lead actors McNally and Leung do an amazing job selling their romantic and sexual chemistry in this funny, sexy, uplifting and positively adorable gay romantic comedy.
