Clevercell Very disappointing...
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
hjames-97822 Tread carefully, but I don't think I'm giving anything out here that can be considered a spoiler.It's OK. I watched it on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a nice diversion. Five stars because everyone is making an effort here. It just never quite makes it. Like morning biscuits that didn't bake long enough.The young but inexperienced cast is clearly putting out the effort here. Do any of them have a real future beyond community theater? Probably not. But, as Jack Benny used to say, everyone needs some place to be bad. Well they are not bad. Just not professionals. At least not yet.The real problem here isn't the cast however. Or even the premise of the story. It's the screenplay. It's screen writing 101 at community college. Some of the dialog Rin Tin Tin couldn't bark his way through. Many of the situations (ably described in other reviews) are lame and totally improbable. (An aggravation surcharge for coffee?) Still, not bad if you have nothing else to do.
jryer-962-449447 This one pleasantly surprised me. I am a sucker for the romance films especially when the characters are honest, capable of showing true tenderness, even though they are acting. And this film did not disappoint. Along the lines and similar to the 'Eating Out' series of films, with the sweetness of 'Latter- Days', this film was fun and a pleasant treat.I really liked how Blaine (Nicholas Downs) played his role. His acting was amazing and refreshing. Full of heart and soul I fell in love with him at the start of the film and he carried me through to the end.And then there was Xander (David Loren) This is the first time I have seen him on camera and he captured my heart as well. Besides being incredibly cute with the sexiest accent, this kid can act! Wow, he really played his character with such honesty.These two were truly exceptional and amazing actors. Not discounting the other characters. This film had just the right amount of sexy and sweet. Blaine's roommate is gorgeous!If you are into romance with a comical edge, you must see this film!And if you happen to be alone single dreamer, hoping, wishing for that first or next love, may this film help you see that true love is not about who you are, what you look like, but what's inside that counts.
Havan_IronOak And so is this movie... Uneven that is. There are some great, sweet romantic moments and then there are some that you just have to grit your teeth and endure until the movie gets back to being the kind of sappy love story that you love.Some of the lines are wonderful and the situation is a somewhat cyber-twist on the old Cyrano dilemma, but the main characters are all likable and pretty to look at.I would have rated this movie a bit higher but there are just some plot holes and clunky moments that are impossible to ignore. First, the character of Bob, the editor of USA toGay (Or should that be tooGay?) is grating and way over the top in every scene that he's in. I'm guessing that he must had a hand in financing the film. There's no other excuse that I can think of to let him chew the scenery and to have totally unnecessary scenes in an otherwise charming movie.Second, there's a large plot hole in an otherwise credible storyline in that Xander fails to recognize which guy that he's meeting is Blain after speaking to him on the phone for six hours. This is a plot hole that could have easily been filled in any number of ways. They could have simply chatted on-line for six hours, they could have shortened the length of time, they could have complained about the phone connection; but gimme a break. After speaking with someone on the telephone for six hours one would recognize a voice, and if not a voice, at least an inflection and manner of speaking.However, overall one can chalk those plot holes up to this being a low-budget film and continue to enjoy the story. I'd recommend this film to friends and would even enjoy seeing it again. I'll just have to fast forward past Bob.
Scott Adrian Brooks I just attended the Canadian premiere of this movie at "Inside Out" (the Toronto LBGT Film and Video Festival) and was quite surprised at how good it was. Normally, with gay romantic comedies I don't expect too much because they true too hard, but this film was endearing without being overbearing and (in some instances) it was downright charming.The actors were well-cast, with an especially good comedic performance by Canadian Bruce Gray, and the story is something that I think many gay guys can relate to --- trying to fall in love in sea of sexual conquests in the big city. Based on the overall reaction of the audience in attendance, I wasn't the only one who enjoyed it either.If you this film rolls through your local LGBT film-fest or when it eventually pops out on video, it really is worth seeing it....
