Wonderful Movie

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

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.)

It's a gay themed, pleasant, afternoon bromance comedy of little white lies and egos. I liked it. Some have ridiculed it as a Doris Day/Rock Hudson clone that's out of touch. I disagree. Besides, Doris was (is) a fabulously popular and wealthy star so she must have known something the rest of you still don't.OK, it's formulaic. I give you that. The screenplay drags in a few spots. Some of the dialog is preachy. But it's far superior to anything guys like Judd Apatow is putting out these days. (Think "Bridesmaids.") And these producers don't have the budget many of today's most successful filmmakers spend on catering.Nothing wrong here at all if you don't some expecting Frank Capra. I wish people could stop being so critical of indie gay themed movies. It's a bit of a miracle they get made at all.

I am giving this film a Ten because of the chunks in it. A chunk is the ultimate hunk and this film has them in spades, so many in fact my poor little brain had a hard time trying to figure out which one turned me on the most. Also, the actor who played the Father in The Talented Mr. Ripley plays the Father here and as always he is very, very good, one of the top character actors in films if you check out his history at IMDb. Aside from those pluses this film is just plain awful. It has already been pointed out that one of the chunks falls for a nerd which of course is absurd, but he does and you just groan through the film thinking why would a chunk fall for a nerd? But even worse than that is the fact that the bride in the so-called perfect wedding is black while the entire cast is white! Hello? What is going on here? Am I color-blind? No, as it turns out I am not and we are told she is adopted, which, I guess is okay but she does not have a single black friend and she is marrying a white chunk. Worse is the script which is just plain dribble, just chock full of nonsense that just doesn't fly in any way whatsoever. The chunks - three of them by the way - kept me watching because all three of them are such dolls but I groaned throughout the film because of its many, many flaws.

I loved loved loved this movie. I thought it was quite well written. One of my favorite things about the film was the multiple story lines that were balanced perfectly. Everyone had a fair shot to tell their story. And the central love story was simple amazing. I caught myself crying many times. I really loved this movie. Not as well done as "Shelter," but so much better than your typical gay-themed movie.My very favorite thing about this movie was that it used a device that author Connie Willis calls that "hat trick" or "hat joke." What that means is that a line or set of lines is repeated throughout the storyline but in different ways, changing the meaning, and intensifying it.I would have given it a 10 but some of the acting was only so-so. Lead actor Eric Aragon was one of those so-so actors--sometimes he was GOOD and sometimes he was just okay. But he tried hard and he was SO much better than a lot actors in a LOT of gay movies that I've seen.I was surprised at how awesome Kristine Sutherland (of Buffy fame) was. She knocked it out of the park. And of course James Rebhorn was excellent, as always.Everyone was gorgeous. Esp Eric Aragon and Roger Stewart. Yes, the scene with Eric in the towel might be considered gratuitous, but I would watch this over and over for that scene! LOL!Beautiful romantic movie!!
