Was it a wise thing, that McCallum stuck to acting, not music? You decide!

Jay Can Do It
As the YouTube commentator says--and I paraphrase--"What the hell was the point of this film?!?"
Let's look at Jay, the hero.
1) Likes to bake.
2) Can't use a hammer.
3) Owns a poodle.
4) Sets up housekeeping with a fellow male.
5) Admires a man in uniform.
6) "Jay is musical."
7) Carries a pocketbook-style basket.
It's an early gay-pride PSA!
