How sad is this?

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

There's a gem of a script here. Clearly the filmmaker is working on a ultra low budget. Many of the supporting cast deliver their lines as if they are in a high school play -- they are painfully wooden. However the idea behind the film is an important one and the film will touch you on multiple levels. I somehow wish this script could get fine tuned and remade as a major production. I feel the film as a lot to say about the pressures of college life -- especially that of living in a frat house on a big ten campus and having to lead a double life.Some of the material for the story appears to have been inspired by the Matthew Shepard story and the film feels extremely relevant.In spite of the low budget nature of the film, see this picture!

This film has some obvious flaws - including some weak acting and occasional bad sound, but it has an interesting and engaging story and I find it quite enjoyable.The premise has a lot of potential (gay frat boys, secretly having a sexual relationship). The story sets up a lot of potential conflicts which it explores. (One guy out, the other still thinking of himself as straight, one in love the other denying his feeling, etc.) Some of the characters are a little 2 dimensional and some of the dialog is lame, but honestly the lame dialog fit the characters, so it was fairly believable.I couldn't honestly rate defying gravity a 9 or 10, but to me its a 6 or 7 just for the story line.

I have finally seen Defying Gravity, and I have found the story line to be very good. It is hard to make life altering decisions like that. On the other hand the found the acting to be poor. Other then that it was a great movie and I would watch it again. It was nice to see that "Griff's" Friend stuck by him, even though he always knew. He was just waiting for Griff to tell him. It is hard to find friends like that....now that is a TRUE friend. I will be checking out for simular movies, that have the same/basic story line. If anyone knows of any that you would recommend, please don't hesitate to forward them off. Thank You, Take Care And Have A Good One....I hope to get some feedback...TazNS

I rented the DVD and had high hopes after reading their blurb, but ultimately it was a let down. I have seen my share of gay films over the years, and I thought this one actually had an interesting story to tell, it just didn't tell it very well. Others here have decried the acting and rightly so.I found the whole thing right down to the gay bashing was very predictable and cliche. Even though the film is only about 90 minutes it felt much longer. It needed a better editing job and the script needed work. There just didn't seem to be a whole lot of depth to the characters. But I did like the str8 best friend character who finally gets Griff to do the right thing. But it seems to me that he could have gone to the cops and helped them out even without exposing himself to the the frat. If he really cared about Pete wouldn't he have done that sooner as the detective wondered?On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 5. But I liked the idea of the film better than its execution.
