Title: A rare gem in cinema
Product review: Most movies of this type either follow stereotypes or are just plain unbelieveable. Beautiful Thing does neither, and thus I give it 5 stars.Shy Jamie and athletic Ste seem like two normal young lads in the beginning of the film. After Ste can't handle the abuse from his father and brother, he decides to sleep over at his next door neighbor Jamie's house. One thing leads to another and they fall in love...and best of all, there's a happy ending. :-)The well-chosen Mama Cass/Mama's and The Papa's soundtrack gives this movie a nostalgic, innocent feeling. It is one of the very few movies that portrays a same-sex romance as a monagamous relationship. No promiscuity here...Again, I see this as something of a rare movie. If only there were a few more movies like this...
