I watched this film at my University this week and was so touched by it I cried, several times and laughed my head off too. I am straight, and often am disappointed in the way the LGBT community is portrayed on television and in movies. This movie really puts it in more perspective though. In Big Eden the characters are REAL. No matter your orientation you can relate to the problems and dilemas faced in this film. The supporting characters are hilarious in their attempts to help out and whether this kind of attitude will be found in small towns in the near future or not, it was awesome to see the film placed in such a setting. Please see this movie. It was touching and funny and I think you can't help but enjoy it.
