Simply A Masterpiece

Sadly Over-hyped

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is very middle of the road but still entertaining and a nice option for an alternative Christmas movie. But I had to write as raptureofori2 was too harsh in their review. Mainly because the super sexy guy would never date the "ordinary" looking guy. That is so untrue. We can't control where our hearts go. I would fall into the ordinary category but I am lucky that a lot of men I find sexy and hot also like me. Like Baskin Robbins, there's 31 flavors and everyone has their tastes. Some think I am ugly and some think I am hot. It's up to us, time and chemistry to pair me up with the right match.So raptureofori2 please don't judge a book by its cover or dictate your tastes on the rest of us. There's something for everyone

This understated indie film features an ensemble of unknown actors in a slow-building family drama with lighter moments.While the focus is on the blossoming gay love triangle, there are hints of trouble in the others' lives too. Emotional subtleties are allowed to develop at a pace that respects the very real truths unfolding and the almost European level of vulnerability between characters.The palette is muted throughout, likely from budgetary constraints, but it works to keep the focus on the actors. The Florida setting allows for casual outdoor scenes and a few shots of great natural beauty.This film will never set the world on fire but it has a lot of heart. It knows what's really important, in family, in weddings, and at Christmas

What a totally charming and fun movie. Every character was someone I liked and was interested in and the story was both lovely and loving. It was perfect for a day when I wanted something completely feel-good. I would find it impossible to be in a bad mood after watching this. Some of had issues with the casting. I disagree with them all. First off I'm in an inter-racial marriage and can attest it's possible to be a person of color without a best friend of the same race. I can also attest it's possible for a "hunk" to fall for someone who is sweet, funny, smart, and attractive but not of equal "hunk" status.I loved the casting and found the chemistry between the adorable Gavin (a charming Jason T. Gaffney) and nicely-flawed Paul (Eric Aragon, showing a lovely, subtle touch) to be both sweet and sexy. (By the way, I also think Jason Gaffney is pretty damned attractive.)

While it's not well written, and the acting is mediocre, the worst part is the fact that someone would actually cast that actor that played Gavin as a love interest for an attractive guy like Paul. I mean who did he have to screw to get that part. I almost threw up when the cute guy, Paul, kissed that mouth on Gavin. Just wrong! The kid has more gum and teeth than a horse, he's got a horrid farmers tan, and His acting was almost as unattractive as he is. Please save yourself the time and watch Geography Club instead. It could have been a decent movie if they recasted a few people and got someone with talent to write the script. Cute concept, bad execution.
