I'm a married straight woman who generally avoids romance/love stories (not much for schmultz). But I just love this film. It sort of reminds me of a gay "Northern Exposure". But I'd hate to define it as a "gay movie". Quite simply, it's a charming little romance about unrequited love. And the main characters "just happen to be gay". Eric Schweig was wonderful as Pike, the achingly in love but painfully shy general store owner. Lots of good performances by some really wonderful character actors. If you're in the mood for a romantic film that's a little different, I highly recommend it.
