Title: a welcome addition to the gay canon
Review: Gay youth everwhere have a new hero and his name is David! This movie is a refreshing alternative to the gay=consumer message of more mainstream representations of gay youth. If you loved Anthony Rapp in the broadway musical Rent, you'll like him as David (easily an extension of his Mark character from Rent, only gay!). Manheim is wonderfully funny and surpising and warm and forces our weight-ist society to see that bigger is sexier! But be forewarned, this is an indie first film and it shows (the dialogue and filming are sometimes hit-or-miss), leaving the viewer occasionally distracted from the story. This film is a welcome addition to the gay canon and video collections everywhere.
