Did you people see the same film I saw?

Best movie ever!

Absolutely brilliant

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I was cleaning my computer, somehow I found this comment that I wrote for this movie, I don't think that it was published, So here it is.--- There are two things that I remembered the most.1. One of the dialogs between the two characters."Are you gay? Yes, I am. It's the fashion thing, isn't it? It is everything. I am not, by the way. I figured. It is the hair thing, isn't it? It is... everything." That could be one of the things that people can talk about.2. When they were about to see the inspector for their drug problems, the gay guy was very nervous. You can see it through his eyes. The instant he saw the inspector who had sex with him, his eyes changed immediately which he didn't even have to say anything to show that. Therefore, he has proved that he is a good actor for being able to express subtle things just through his eyes.There is one particular scene that did not make any sense to me. When Shane discovered the hidden drug, the next day when he was at the office, one of his workers said to him: "don't worry son, it might never happen." And he smiled back.Another thing that seems to be a little unreasonable is that the drug dealer Keith is gay. He didn't act or look like gay, and he didn't seem to be interested in Shane sexually.Even though Ireland is another English speaking country, however, this movie still seems a little distant from where I am. It is about young people's life, I don't feel that most people can relate in the USA. Overall, it is a good film.

This is a story about pursuing your dreams. a young Irish boy, shared an apartment with a stylish gay student and had a crush on his beautiful female friend, also got involved with some drug dealers.The storyline is believable, the evolvement of the plot is intriguing and interesting. How the pure friendship can come into being between a gay man and a straight man? It's the most touching part of this film. The sexual orientation is just a stunt, the relationship of the two characters is well presented.About dreams, the young boy always wanted to be an artist as he had the talent of drawing, but the status quo made him a civil servant. Sometimes we dare not to change just because we are too lazy, or in lack of motivation. Always easier said than done, but taking action might not be so hard as we think. Maybe changing our sexual orientation is difficult, however changing our life to fulfill what you really want is feasible.On the other hand, the drug culture is inevitable to the young generation, the temptation makes it hard to decline. Making a wise choice seems vital then.The cast is good, Michael Legge and Allen Leech each gives a strong and memorable performance, the chemistry between them is pleasant and adorable. Amy Shiels is amazingly beautiful in this film.I highly recommend this film to everyone who are wandering how their lives are going to be and I think it's very useful.

Despite it's good intentions this movie is completely pat. It's writing is absolutely obvious, and the "surprises" are utterly tragic attempts for moral or social or cultural redemption or something, or nothing.It's just a piece of . . . The writing at times devolves into such cliché that it is almost unbelievable that the actors could say such lines with straight faces. The actors, by the way, are the best part of it all, poor things. My heart goes out to them for having to suffer through the dialogue. They should be given awards for making this "After School Special Movie of the Week" seem life-like. Sadly in the end it just doesn't work, it's dead on arrival. Avoid this one at all costs.

Flat-mate wanted: apply within. So begins the sweetest straight-gay friendship in recent memory. Shane is a lost and lonely 20 year-old civil servant from the suburbs; he's adorably hetero and has no sense of style. His new roommate in the big city is Vincent, a hot young fashion student, queer, innately stylish, full of life, surrounded by friends, and able to pick up a hot daddy in ten seconds. For Shane, Vincent unlocks buried artistic dreams and a burning need to embrace the adventure of youth. For Vincent, Shane is...well...he's a makeover project, inside and out. And soon enough, he's in serious trouble. Filled with just enough confidence to make just the wrong move, Shane falls in with two drug-dealing thugs downstairs, and things get dangerous fast. As he spins out of control, Vincent flinches from the monster he's created. But the flat has thin walls, and even at their worst, Shane and Vincent never stop listening for each other. Refreshingly, writer/director David Gleeson's vision of this friendship transcends all that we've come to expect from a gay-straight relationship onscreen. The warmth and youthful optimism that emerge from this duo is positively infectious, and Michael Legge and Allen Leech effortlessly bring to life one of the rarest kinds of love. Gleeson's production is polished and lyrical; like Shane's clothing designs, Cowboys and Angels is colorful, bold and exhilaratingly alive.
