Title: Not very good---just kind of there
Product review: I dunno - call me a cynic, but does every film about gay people just automatically get considered "a great film"?? In the case of Rite of Passage, I tend to wonder if viewers are just soooo starved for gay subject matter that anything will pass.The movies isn't horrible - it's just not great. It moves rather slow, the product value is fair at best, and the plot is rather uninteresting. There is the requisit gay son/hard nosed father theme, the hopeless romantic theme, the accepting brother, etc. They all are there---but the problem is, most viewers will just say "who cares".I found that no matter how much I wanted to love htis movie, it was just something to watch on a Saturday night. Don't get your hopes up. If you are looking for your next meaning of life gay film--this one probably isn't it. If you collect every video or DVD where there is a gay plot--well, I guess here's another one for your collection.
