Title: Who knew homosexuals could be this boring?
Review: The Seminarian has all the depth, subtlety and dramatic flair you'd expect from a Christian Youth Camp play. It's a tedious meditation on the angst of gay christians, without having anything original to say on the subject. It's certainly well-intentioned, but also mind-numbingly, at times even hilariously earnest. The dialogue is gratingly banal and predictable, though several of the actors frequently don't seem to understand their own lines. The pace is glacial. And, most annoyingly, the characters rarely speak face-to-face when a phone call will suffice. So watching the movie is a bit like working for a few hours at a call centre. If you're a gay christian in need of affirmation, then skip this and watch Prayers For Bobby. Better yet, read The God Delusion and really expand your mind.
