Summary: Easy to watch with a deeper message
Review: The guys are really attractive and I was surprised with how emotional the storyline was. It's important to not forget how easy it would be for people to go back to this way of thinking. Especially with the ignorant and discriminatory comments made by our President lately...

Summary: A big disappointment
Review: This film is based on a promising storyline arising from true events. However, it has lost its way. I believe the story has been told from the wrong perspective and, although the actors are all good looking, their delivery is wooden and the script is stilted. As a result, it comes out like a B series, day-time soap. Sorry, guys, I tried to like it, but...

Summary: And Then Came Disappointment
Review: This is another film that has its heart in the right place... the filmmakers, cast and crew wanted to make a pretty film about the tribulations of coming out and being gay. But, sadly, they don't back it up with anything to put some meat on the film's bones. The script just wanders, the acting is terribly amateurish, and the camerawork just clunks. Worst of all, the film's treatment of women is unintentionally hysterical and borderline offensive. The funniest moment on the DVD? Watch the interview with the lead actor... he thinks he's Tom Cruise.

Summary: And There Went My Time
Review: With all due respect I give the director and cast credit for producing a gay film but this is like a bad ABC Aftenoon School Special. The acting is pretty bad and the story drags. I would recommend renting this first if you can, it's not worth the money to buy.

Summary: I'd give it no stars if I could
Review: Wow. I thought we'd gotten beyond this point: flocking to movies with gay themes only BECAUSE they have gay themes (or going to gay restaurants with bad food and bad service, or... well, you get the idea). I don't wish to be cruel, because I know dozens of people put their hearts and souls into the project, but this quite frankly never should have been made. There is nothing new: no insights, no twists, no heart. It feels like a 20 minute short that was padded into a feature film by adding dialogue that not only has nothing to do with the story, but doesn't tell us anything about the character either. As my partner said every time the aunt came on the screen: "Oh, good, let's hear some more gossip about the neighbors that doesn't mean a thing." To be honest we eventually started fast-forwarding through scenes that had this "small talk" dialogue (a LOT of scenes). We could always tell they weren't saying anything important because the only time anyone said anything related to the story they become serious and angst-ridden. There are many "if onlys" for this movie. If only there had been a script to match the absolutely INCREDIBLE look (whoever the cinematographer was, he/she has a brilliant career ahead). If only even ONE of the actors wasn't stiff and totally unbelievable (though to be fair, the dialogue was still and unbelievable, so they didn't have much to work with). If only there had been SOME twist (like Dad or dad's friend being gay?). If only I had read some of the reviews before I bought this film. I guess I'm a masochist. I keep buying and renting bad gay films and going to bad gay plays. But when you find a gem, it makes it all worth it. This, unfortunately, isn't even made of paste.
