Summary: DON'T BUY THIS FILM (unless you read Chinese)!!!!!
Review: I love this film (I have the VHS version), but this DVD has CHINESE subtitles that can't be turned off. If you really want this film, buy the VHS version instead or wait for a US/UK version of the DVD.

Summary: Beautiful youth, beautiful Linda
Review: I first saw this movie about four years ago and I am not sure if it's romanticism made me realize what I was not getting in my relationship, but shortly after viewing it for the "n"th time, my long-standing partnership came to an end. The beautiful things about this movie include the fact that neither boy is "beautiful" and therefore their relationship becomes a beautiful thing in and of itself. Mama Cass' music is also beautiful (surprises one to hear old music as in Muriel's Wedding wherein Abba's music delighted)and used very effectively. Linda Henry is probably the most beautiful thing in the movie. Her character is a role reversal with her boyfriend (i.e. male vs. female) and her performance leaves one breathless. Linda Henry belongs to that pantheon of award-neglected performers that includes the likes of Nichole Kidman in "To Die For" and the mother in "Muriel's Wedding." These actresses make one realize how utterly banal award ceremonies are and the beautiful thing about this movie is that you can watch it over and over again and find something new and beautiful in it each time. The cockney is thick but so are the emotions. This film is truly a beautiful thing and that cannot be repeated often enough.

Summary: Positive coming out story
Review: I had actually seen only a portion of this wonderful film on television, but enough of it for me to find it in my local video store. I had to find several resources on line, but I did. After seeing the movie in it's entirety, I felt very pleased/ uncomfortable/titelated. I am a 42 yo man, and coming out for me was not this simple. That is why, I was pleased to see how each of the characters were presented, no pretense, no stereo- typing, just each person as they are. The dialog was a little difficult to understand, but taking into account it's setting, it would be for an American. Overall, I am very appreciative of the two title characters innocence, daring, and just plain guts! This story did not need alot of sex to make it interesting. I highly recommend it for anyone who is just coming out, or trying to understand the process!

Summary: Beautiful indeed!
Review: This is a marvellous, touching, and humane film, the story of two boys growing up in working-class Britain. They fall in love with one another, and the film is all about that simple thing.It is very rare to find a film where such love is not trivialized, psychoanalyzed, or submitted to the scrutiny of some religious cult. Another one which springs to mind was that great Danish film, "You Are Not Alone." Love IS a beautiful thing. This is the story of Jamie and Ste. Treasure it. It's lovely. Highly recommended!

Summary: Buy This Movie
Review: This is my all time favorite gay themed movie. It is filled with a wonderful exuberance that fills the screen and the hearts of those who view it. It is a movie that anyone who has ever fought an uphill battle to be happy can relate to. It also has one of the best, if not the best, ending I have every enjoyed. The audience stood up in the theater and applauded en masse. Bravo.

Summary: "Beautiful Thing" - "Beautiful Film"
Review: This is an EXCELLENT movie. As a gay youth, I struggled for years about how I could come out to my mom and not make her feel bad or hurt her feelings. I was determined that I would never tell her (which is not a good thing to do!). After seeing this film, it made me feel so good about both myself and being gay that I simply had to tell her. I told her about his film and she enjoyed watching it with me as well. The soundtrack to this movie is also excellent. If you're not familiar with "Mama" Cass Elliot, you will love her Beautiful voice. I had heard these songs many times before, but never put a gay "meaning" to them until now. You will never listen to Cass again without thinking of this wonderful film. Simply put, if you're young and gay, and feeling not-so-good about yourself, SEE THIS FILM! It will definitely pick your spirits up and you will feel ten feet tall!!!
