Telling the story of Morgan (Adriana Mather), a dying girl with three months to live, who falls in love with Jordan (Zach Villa), a gender-bending ex-junkie, “Honeyglue” makes repeated stabs at breaking down the gender binary, but it keeps submitting to the dictates of the squarest form of conventional melodrama. One minute, Morgan and Jordan are robbing convenience stores and contemplating suicide, the next they’re trading romantic platitudes on the beach. While writer-director James Bird’s interest in subverting society’s norms around gender and sexuality seems genuine enough, he goes about it in such maudlin fashion that the film starts to resemble one of those mushy Nicholas Sparks adaptations—a genderqueer “Walk to Remember.”
