Title: Predictable and Sappy Gay Soap With Not A Drop of Originality
Product review: As a 51 year-old gay man who is not in the closet and is happy with a 20+ year LTR, I feel I know a thing about real life in gay circles. I have also had 3 other LTRs, 2 of my partners passed away after 6 years each of monogamous partnership and my first left me for a drag queen and promptly died from AIDS in 1985. This movie does not do a good service to young gay men EXCEPT to give them hope. Some viewers may find love but the vast majority will not, at least not in any way this fantasy plays out. It is a contrived, by-the-gay-numbers movie with a plot that I had written out in my head after 10 minutes into it. It rings hollow and is cheap looking. The acting is OK in my opinion. Still stinks. Now, if you approach this fairy tale with the mindset that it is your boring typical boy-meets-boy story soap opera and is not as a documentary or as holding anything resembling true life, you will be fine.
