It’s a rambunctious, often hilarious, and carefully-constructed story about a teenage boy starting to question his sexuality in the midst of his Evangelical Christian world.

HGBP too often relies on caricature.... Yet Cone, who is bighearted toward but not uncritical of his Bible-thumping characters, has a keen sense of seemingly incongruous details.

The proceedings too often smack of melodrama and, with the profusion of characters, some inevitably come across as stereotypes.

Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party feels sincere but not accomplished, empathetic but not deep.

Alright, but stale birthday party. Is it worth loving? Nope, but it's worth giving it a watch if that's in your way. Oh yes, bring your swimsuit if you're prepared to enter the stale birthday party.
