Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

At the beginning of the film, I thought the movie was going to be depressing because Henry Hart seemed to look depressed and his friends in New York acted so fake. Although I was interested at the same time so I could laugh at the bad script. However I regretted thinking this as I was very wrong with my opinion!As the movie went on, it got better and better! The quiet Indian fella turned out to be a caring and kind man who looked after Henry's uncle Sam. Boy, I say Eric Schweig did a lotta cooking for the crew on set. I wish I could have had some haha!Seriously he really is a talented actor with other good skills! Arye Gross was good too at playing Henry, he definitely was funny when a few times, he hit the door without looking! This movie is very unexpected and I like that. I even like that it's very romantic and different :)

I disliked the movie. I Could not take a minute of it after the first 15 minutes.If the movie was about heterosexuals it would be a worthless and a dull movie. The fact that two men kiss each other at the end of the movie does not make me think specially about it.It was a bad movie no matter if it was about heterosexual or homosexual people. I am disappointed at those institutions that give away awards Think about it this way: If the director had made this movie about heterosexuals, and change the movie in such a way that the guy is not homo, and then change the story just as much to adopt to this , then what does the movie have to offer? Nothing. No interesting plot, no action no real romance, dull dull dull.So it is still a worthless movies even if it is about homosexuals.it has a 0 from me for awful.

I caught this last night on the Logo channel and although it held my interest mildly, mainly because of the photography, I found it very disappointing. What Utopia city is this suppose to be? Obvious it was written most likely by a gay person, who was 'looking' for his 'wizard of oz"...a town where every male and female was so open minded towards the trials of a squeamish looking gay man, whom everyone loved...and wanted to make him stay and live happily ever after with a lover. Yes, Dorothy 'there is no place like home"...for certain people only. BTW, I probably slept through the part where they had mentioned how his best friend had 2 sons. Were they adopted? Was he a divorced man? I never saw his 'wife', and yet there were so many females in this movie, it all came down to 'whose who". No satisfactory way to introduce the characters, in my opinion.

I couldn't believe where this movie was going to go. But it surprised me.I was really hoping the big Indian would win out, for a few scenes it seemed he was do damn shy, it was almost sickening.I just wish he would of opened his heart a little more, it would of happened a little sooner. But he was afraid to get hurt.The town's people tried their best to help him, which was a breath of fresh air. Usually in these situations, the townsfolk would be trying to kick the Gays out of town.This was a very positive movie and I would love to see it again and again.Going on my list of best movies to keep.
