| What A Movie! | 2008-12-29 | 5 / 5 |
|
| I am so glad to finally see a movie that has a happy ending or the kind of movie that ends with "and they lived happily every after." A lot of gay movies have tragic endings. It's as if gay couples can't have happy lives together. I was gettng fed up with those type of movies. If you love love stories with a happy ending this is the movie for you! |
| A Gay Love Story that does not depend on Sex Scenes!! | 2008-12-10 | 4 / 5 |
|
| This movie proves once and for all that not every gay love story on film depends on sex scenes to keep the audience interested... this one certainly does not. It's the love between the two lead characters that comes first and foremost. Like some other viewers here, however, I found this film, at times, to be a series of some contradictions... a couple scenes are indeed a bit long in the tooth in regard to dialog and a couple supporting characters weren't really needed for the most part ...or their scenes, at the very least, did not need to be quite as long. However, there is one scene and one performance in particular that for whatever reason rang absolutely true in my heart and head and left me in tears. When the adult actor Eric Dean (Jake) tells his childhood friend, Kyle (James McCabe), that he still loves him, and that he has always loved him, I have rarely seen a performance that hit home with that kind of heartfelt veracity. Please do not miss this film for that one scene alone!! |
| Blatant Feel-good Movie | 2008-12-07 | 5 / 5 |
|
| This is a blatant feel-good movie. At the end of the third-last scene I skipped the Kleenex tissues and advanced immediately to the kitchen paper towels. (But then, I also cried at the end of every episode of the "Waltons".) Beware watching this movie alone, you will be reaching for the Kleenex. |
| overwrought in the desert | 2008-12-04 | 1 / 5 |
|
The captions aren't readable as you fast-forward through this cringe-inducing mess, and believe me you will want to fast-forward or just hit Eject.
There's a commentary track that I decided to skip entirely. I imagine that the director explains that the tall actor with the pretty eyes is straight, which would explain the total lack of chemistry and the unsexy little smooches that he exchanges with the other lead.
Thanks to Netflix, I only wasted a queue rental and 45 minutes of my time. |
| Strong Story, Great Actors, a little flat in execution | 2008-11-28 | 4 / 5 |
|
First off, I loved this story. Great idea, some very good writing, and two actors who are clearly both skilled in their craft and who worked hard to execute the story's goals. It also shines in the slow, methodical way it develops, and the time the writer/director is willing to take to let ideas and interactions develop. Moving and heart-felt.
That being said, the film needed a little more editing, and perhaps a couple of scenes needed more time to gel/come together. Sometimes the actors are spot-on, and sometimes the scenes feel rough-hewn - like they needed more time to hit the right tone/cadence.
Definitely a B+, and a keeper. Looking forward to the next work by this writer/director. And off to look for other work by both actors. |
