Longhorns is a 2011 American feature film written and directed by David Lewis.

The film premiered at the 2011 Frameline Film Festival and was released by TLA Releasing.

Plot[edit]

Set in the 1980s, Longhorns centers around Texan college student Kevin (Jacob Newton), who really wants to prove to himself that he is heterosexual. It becomes harder for him to maintain that ruse when he meets new student, Cesar (Derek Villanueva), who is openly gay.

Critical reception[edit]

Critic Dennis Harvey of Variety reviewed the film favorably saying "The third time's the charm for writer-director David Lewis, whose first two gay-themed features were earnest but undercooked dramas."[1]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Longhorns holds an audience approval rating of 39% based on 100+ reviews.[2]
