Title: A Gay Film for Heteros
Product review: It is quite obvious why this film would play well with the straight community & be popular in such backwater places as Valdosta Georgia & Memphis Tennessee. The gay guy ends up by himself except for the fat girl in the role of "fag hag". I am just surprised that the filmmaker did not have Stephen commit suicide in the last scene. I had to go back and watch "Beautiful Thing"-especially the last scene-it was like trying to get a bad taste out of my mouth. This is what so many "sympathetic" straights and "understanding" people want for the gay population-it is all right to be queer but just do it all by yourself. God forbid that you find someone to love & build a life-long relationship with. A real setback for those of us who want to see more gay positive films in the marketplace.
