Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Just saw this on TV in 2018. Am 58 and gay. The movie was well acted and the dialogue rang true most of the time. However, my impression of the LA gay scene involves a lot of sex, drugs and alcohol. This movie only suggested mild drug abuse via pot. The characters were mostly likeable, somewhat shallow and not too overly gay acting. The Cole character, in particular, was normal, attractive and masculine. There wasn't a central, driving message to this movie except to say that being gay in a large American metropolis doesn't afford a very stable and healthy existence, although this "club of friends" did seem to have a strong commitment to one another. At times, I felt this group's bonds were contrived and not likely to be typical in LA. Overall, entertaining and ending on a happy note.

It's usually a good idea to avoid the pitfalls your characters traverse in the course of a movie.The vacuousness of the vacant discoveries the cast make here makes it a movie that precisely showcases all the empty and blind lines of modern love itself.All these self involved men have the dream of being in a male couple but yet, they aren't even interested in the name of the other partner in the one long term male couple in their circle. He's treated like a joke and practically ignored when his lover dies. (Not a spoiler really; someone always dies in these things.) This is supposed to be a story about gay men finding and keeping love? At least our lead (though not the author's obvious autobio threads) "couple" (Olypahant and Keegan) seem to come to an almost grown up discussion about non-monogamy in a relationship. Too bad it's a relationship they won't be having.Otherwise it's the run-o-the-mill "empty sex is bad" morality tale and "waiting is noble" crappy advice that so many gay men are still buying into, even 14 years after this movie was made.Gay men will never break these heterosexual constrictions on themselves and their relationships when supposedly smart, gay, and with-it writers are furthering the groupthink of acceptable norms and the shame of where you put your genitals, when they so badly misread and misrepresent like this.-still worth it for camp value-

As I watched this film I was amazed how so many straight guys were talked into playing gay characters so I did some research and learned that the fellow behind it, Greg Berlanti just happens to be a major television producer. He is also out. Put the two together and you get a film like this, a very clear political statement meant for the straight world. Does it work? I think it does. I haven't done any scientific study but I have the feeling that the straight hunks in this film should be enough to get people's attention when they are looking for a movie to watch. I can just imagine straight guys weeping and wailing when they discover the film is gay, leaving their lady friends to watch the movie on their own, their only consolation a cat in the lap.

This is a very unique film for the genre. It doesn't follow the usual plot points of most gay films. And while many standard films of that nature are great, sometimes they tend to blend together. This movie has enough plot variations to keep it fresh and interesting with perspectives that aren't always seen about gay life. The characters cover many different aspects, and their stories weave perfectly together. The actors really knock their performances out of the park. In addition, the music was extremely suiting to the scenes. It made you smile for no reason just accompanying the great scenes, and provided moving score for the dramatic moments. If there was one flaw, and it was a small one, it was that you could almost feel the traumatic incident coming. And once you are aware that its coming, its not hard to guess what it will be. It did surprise with an unpleasant twist, which is a great addition. All in all this film is fantastic on nearly every level. Many of the actors are often considered to be very 'straight' acting, though their actual orientation has come into question before. But gay or straight, they portray their roles remarkably well. This film is a solid 8.5, or an A grade film. If you're a fan of the genre, give it a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
