Negative Positive
Title: Shallow and Disappointing
Review: I have to totally agree with the comments by "Galileo" below, especially, "...the dialogue was something you might hear from 13 year olds." With a title like 'The Seminarian,' I expected to see a drama revolving around the conflicts of a seminary student between his personal convictions and the morality system of a very traditional church. This movie, to the contrary, is about a young 20-something who is frantically searching for a loving relationship, the guys he falls in love with fail him, and he ends up in a state of painful disappointment and confusion. There are 2 or 3 shallow references to God along the lines of, "What does this say about God?", with no further development or insight. The seminary is just a backdrop to the story: the setting could easily have been a high school. Think "Glee" without the good music. I gave it two stars because I think the main actor, Mark Cirillo, shows promise for a good acting career in a more professional production.
Is the review positive or negative?
