this movie try really hard to be a good little gay theme movie and come of age film in general but it be do in by it flaw . the actor be all excellent and especially the two brother and but i never believe they be in high school . and that where the problem with this start . they seem more like college frat brother . it be a though the screenwriter or director force everything to fit what be write and which cause the viewer to go and huh . when the viewer start go huh . you have get problem . and by the end and the huhs . start come fast and furious . the film start reach for emotional moment it hadn not really earn because they would never be establish during the story and then it try to cover way too much ground follow dorian from high school to college ( in greenwhich village yet and where he manage to keep away from men for two year . please . ) . the other major problem be the characterization of the parent . the father be such an unrelenting asshole and the mother be such a zombie you just couldn not become emotionally involved in the family plot line . seriously and these boy could have give the menendez brothers a run for their money with parent like that . actually and the guy who play the dad use to be on the soap one life to live . he play brad the tennis pro who rap his sister in law and the ex prostitute and play by judith light . which be weird and since she so involved in the gay right movement . interesting .
