Awesome Movie

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

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.

It has been a while since I had a good cry like that. This film is beautiful. SPOILER ALERT!!!! The plot is not hard to figure out. The guy gets the guy! Yay! I love the relationships between the mom and dad, the sister and brother, the best friend and sister, the sister and fiancé, Roy and Paul, and most of all between Paul and Gavin! The plot builds nicely and allows you get to know each of the characters and their idiosyncrasies. You care deeply about them by the middle of the film. You know what is coming to wrap it up and you just can't wait to get there! But when you do, have tissue by your side. You're gonna need it.In case I am not clear, I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!

It was so cute and sweet without being flamboyant or over the top like so many gay themed movies are. It also lacked the 'drowning in angst' that is the other extreme for gay movies, where it seems like there is simply no upside to being gay and all you can do is hate yourself before you commit suicide or die of a drug overdose. It wasn't just the romance I liked, though - I also liked the straight sister's fiancé and her little wedding in the backyard, and the parents dealing with a family medical issue. I understand why some people wouldn't like it, because they equate 'cute' with 'sappy'. And that's fine. But for anyone who likes cute and sweet and a little fluffy, I'd highly recommend this film. You can find it on Netflix to stream.

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.
