Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
tacview293 I found this movie to be different than your average gay themed movie. So, I was expecting your run of the mill gay comedy, but Wendie Malick is who drew me to watch it. I was pleasantly surprised. Wendie was over the top as a domineering sister and mother, constantly on the verge of a nervous break-down, as only she could pull it off. Jon Lindstrom plays the up-tight, asexual, older man needing to find a life after an early retirement, when he casually befriends a younger gay man, Chris Murrah, in a park. I would have liked to have seen a little more character development with the rest of the cast, such as Andy and Roz's relationship. Brian's character could have been "fleshed" out more and I would have loved to have seen the maid witness the kiss at the end. Too much was just brushed under the rug by simple clichés. A few minor. characters were completely unnecessary to the story development, such as the annoyingly silly dog trainer and Roz's assistant. Andy's reaction to Paul's slow steps out of the closet were not very understanding. Paul was just coming out, for Pete's sake! Give him a little time for public displays of affection! I've been with my partner for 25 years and we've never felt the need or urge to kiss in public. And wearing ball caps mean you're gay? Puleeze! Aside from these minor details, it's a great love story and comedy of errors. I'd like to see what was left on the cutting room floor.
wildcatqt-146-104147 I think this movie may have originally been meant to be a play but it adapts well. I enjoyed it much more than most independent movies. I do not find anything cliché about it. There are several duos of characters present who are each coming to terms with what they know of particular relationships in their lives or what they think they know of those relationships. I think the acting ability in this is fair. There are several new faces to see but they each demonstrate a proficient ability. There are some very to scenes to put this in the quirky category which I like. I enjoyed this film.I think it is definitely worth a watch.
NSquarticsurface I've been waiting for this movie for a long time. It is far from stellar execution, but certainly not the worst for a low budget film. The script could be cleaned up a bit. The acting isn't great and a few shots could have used a few more takes to make them more real and believable. Overall, I can't complain about the total experience. The main content of the film should be familiar to absolutely anyone who has been apart of a gay relationship. The reality is that different people are at different stages of coming out given any couple. This puts a strain on the relationship.This movie explores how this can evolve and how both sides are responsible for the problems caused by having a justified unwillingness to compromise on how public the relationship should be. The pacing may feel slow to people used to blockbusters, but it suits the film just right as it lets the relationship develop and breathe at the appropriate speed considering the circumstances.Maybe in today's age this is becoming less of an issue, but any gay couple should easily relate to and find real truth in this unique romance.
cloverleaf_bella The idea of the film is very good, the story is very good. Those are the only good things about it. Bad photography, poor actor direction (you can see the actors are good but aren't being led in the right way), the story is full of gaps - situations and characters that lack development -, the dialogs are sometimes artificial, the soundtrack is badly used - you barely notice it, in a bad way -, errors in continuity (you see the characters eating but the plate stays full throughout the scene), reflections of studio light on the walls, misfit colors (filtering?). It could have been and should have been so much better. What a waste of wonderful plot...
