this be an oft used line and but it really sum up this movie . if this be the current state of gay cinema and then be in real trouble . i saw this film at siff because of the high imdb rating ( 7 . 6 ) and if there be ever a case of vote stack on imdb and then this be it . just watch the number fall over the release week of the film . easy plot . boy find out his high school ex ( boyfriend ) be get marry to a female friend of theirs so he go back to his old hometown ( still carry a 10 year old torch ) to see what happen . first off and i like latter day and the director last feature and despite it cookie cutter character and plot contrivance and but youre suppose to become a good director with each subsequent release . i do not know how you get horrible support performance out of so many tv veteran ( robert foxworth and joanna cassidy and tori spell ) and but somehow he manage to . the writing be lifetime network quality ( way back when they be really bad ) and the situation be unbelievable and uncomfortably hard to watch . i keep reach for a non existent remote control to fast forward and but ultimately make myself stay to the end and hop for a decent end . ugh . no . even the gratuitous male nudity that pop up during the movie be so blatantly gratuitous that it seem to be there to keep people in their seat . to be fair . the 2 lead and especially in the gratuitous nude scene and be gorgeous . there be also a real sweetness between them during their rekindle friendship a they uncover how they go separate way . and the film look great . good quality and color saturation for an independent film . how be it that network tv can give week after week of great and entertaining weekly episode ( like ugly betty and desp . housewife and etc . ) and but so many feature release in similar genre can be as bad a this .
