Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great "coming out of the closet" movie.
Review: A surprisingly good English drama about a young lad's torment at coming to terms with his homosexuality. Roger Daltrey is brilliant as the sleazy, ageing entertainment entrepreneur. I agree with the other reviewer on this page, this title is too expensive to buy, but you must rent it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: About Time
Review: About time, A good story with real content. And guess what? a gay theme too! Definately a movie too watch over and over again. Real people real lives. A wonderfull performance by newcomer Ian Rose. This movie kept my attension from beginning to end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: opening my eyes
Review: As a new comer into this scene and somewhat precocious of what is going on in the homosexual world, I am quite curious, watching films reading books are very helpful. This film, "I must say" is excellent, I've watched it several times and have not tired of it. It blends together so well the club scene with love, which is what we are really looking for. The actors are great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good and Fairly Realistic Gay Romance
Review: Craig is a bare-knuckle boxer from Blackpool. Matt is from London and he works in the music industry-he visits Blackpool one night and meets Craig when he-(Craig)-is standing outside by what looks like a gay club. Craig is not at all comfortable with his sexuality, but he invites Matt to his house for a one-night stand, which is disastrous. Craig's life in Blackpool is not very good; the only way he makes money is through his fighting, which his brother Tony does not like at all. (Craig also refuses to tell his brother that he is gay, which is really frustrating for Tony because he wants to help his brother but has no idea what is making him so unhappy.) For reasons that are not quite clear, Craig goes to London to pursue a relationship with Matt. Matt has this flatmate, Paula, who is a singer. Matt was responsible for getting her album put together and on the market. To say the least, Paula is not happy when Matt lets Craig move in with them the day he shows up on their doorstep.

Craig has a very hard time fitting in while he is in London. Matt's friends, flatmate, and boss-Kelvin, are not happy about Craig being in his life. Craig's biggest problem is that he really does not have any direction in his life. He has problems getting and keeping jobs-he gets hired at a gay bar and then loses his temper and gets into a fight when someone calls him queer (he is obviously still not comfortable with his sexuality). Matt's boss, Kelvin, and his flatmate Paula, basically do everything they can to try to destroy the relationship between Matt and Craig. This is because Kelvin sees Craig as a liability to Matt-since Craig is having so many problems fitting in and finding himself, and Paula is jealous of the time that Matt spends with Craig-she wants Matt to help her get her next album out and keep her career going on the right track. I won't say how the movie ends, but both characters have to make decisions about themselves and what is important to them, and this makes the movie end in a satisfying way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet little Boxer
Review: Fun, energetic, & sweet. This boxer knows how to get his man. I saw this Gay & Lesbian short film festival, & I was awe seeing what these guys had to go through. Jealously, & being in the closet can be a deadly thing at times. It's definitely a must buy or have in your G&L Collection, I know it's in mine.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gay London - A Must See
Review: I admire the content of this British film. Very open, sincere and wild. Besides the other reviews, I should say that the body chemistry depicted in this gay film is not that unusual nor surprising for the gay audience but maybe offended to non-gay viewers. But it is good film for the right audience. Subtitles are not featured in this DVD; they would be helpful to break away from the British accent. Way to go, Brits and wave your rainbows.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent in it's own way....
Review: I found the movie really interesting, even if there are just a little too many references to drugs and alcohol. Matt and Craig are just too cute fumbling around each other on their road to..... I would recommend this movie to everyone: gay or straight; it can stand on it's own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sexually Pleasing
Review: I love how the director seized a first-time-gay man and just through him into play. Craig realizes that life is not all about money and fighting. he realizes that there is love. Matt a know it all in the real world doesn't know love at all for anyone accept friends and never for himself. I think how in the end they admit their love for one another *in other words* ...Great Moive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You've got to love it
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, over and over again. The movie gets better with each viewing and even though the sentiments are muddled, they are very convincing and make more sense the second time around. This movie reminds us that there really is someone for everyone out there.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable Watching - Good Acting
Review: I'm a straight woman and I really, really enjoyed this DVD. It's very erotic in parts (sometimes surprisingly), but I wouldn't characterize it as pornographic overall. The men are all fabulous...attractive and they act beautifully. There's no stereotypical gay behavior. This review is just kind of blah, but the movie was extremely enjoyable and good. Don't believe the awful review Amazon gave it. I have no clue where that guy was coming from.
