 Strong Story, Great Actors, a little flat in execution November 28, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
 what a waste of money. November 27, 2008

I wish it were possible to view this film before purchase. It's only redeeming scenes were of the young boys.The rest of the film was painful to sit through. The scenes between the two main characters looked like they were constipated, so poor, we laughed. Obviously a low budget film, small things were so blatantly missing..when the cousin punches the main character after finding out he is gay... no sound. Little things like that.
Too bad I can't send this one back. Save your money.

Great cover, but the acting and filming was so "painful". This must be someone's first film. I feel really let down considering the DVD carried an "Official Selection" logo. Thank goodness the DVD was on sale! Don't buy it for more than $5.00! Or better yet, I'll send you my copy free!
Very disappointing November 22, 2008

The chemistry between the teenage actors portraying Jake and Kyle at the beginning of the film was very promising, and the film began with great possibilities. That said, the rest of the film was a complete failure. For one thing the director and cinematographer could have done better with the audio. The writing was also very poor. It seemed as if when a sentimental conversation was going on music was added suddenly as an afterthought. The film was too short and spent too much time with pointless interchanges between the adult Jake and his straight friend from the city and another one with a poor lady and Jake at his hometown. The scene in which Kyle's cousin uncovers Kyle and Jake in bed was the final disappointment that made the movie a bomb. Precious little time was spent developing the main relationship. Pinpointing a major flaw was in the verisimilitude or believability of the story, footage from the small Arizona town or Los Angeles could have fleshed out the story, and Jake's life in the city as a filmmaker was not believable: why not shoot a scene in a movie studio? I looked forward to this film with high hopes, but I was left wondering why I spent the money to buy this DVD.
Touching and sentimental! November 21, 2008

I really enjoyed this film - I thought it was very moving, and quite lovely - made even more so by the actors being ordinary-looking guys, who find each other, and, at first, are just as awkward as they were as adolescents. But love conquers all - and it does in the end. I would highly recommend it for viewing by all gay men. I do not mean to exclude others, just that gay men would more readily relate to it.
