This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Oh brother did this film spice up my Thanksgiving holiday - what an unexpected surprise - my roomie comes in and says "I think there's something good on Logo - it starts in five minutes" That something good turned out to be the movie "Mulligans" and what a knockout performance by Canadian actor Dan Payne who I see at IMDb is booked up through 2011 and well he should because if anyone deserves to be a star it's this guy - he's got it in spades - the very thing that separates the boys from the men - Dan Payne can act with a capital A - and combined with his outstanding matinée idol looks - he looms on the horizon as the next big star and in my book no one deserves it more. The story itself is okay - nothing new here - and the cast is uniformly good but Dan Payne towers over story and cast in such a way that you can't wait to see him in the next scene - Logo alas has a way of cutting films so that they're a mess but thank goodness for Internet shopping because the first thing I did was go online and order the film and you should too.

If I hadn't known any better, I would have sworn it was about 1983-1984 while watching Mulligans (mainstream Hollywood always is a few years behind the times as, apparently, is so much of gay-themed cinema). Upper-middle-class white males in the throes of a Sexual Orientation Identity Crisis. Class and race usually don't figure into movies like this, though I must admit I spent more time wondering what exactly this Dad did that he could not only afford a Porsche, a sumptuous summer home, AND the ability to take off work for what appears to be an extended vacation than I did on, you know, the actual plot. But, since this is a generation AFTER Making Love, etc., we have the added twist of a father and his son's best college bud as unexpected (well, maybe not so unexpected after all...) lovers (well, maybe not lovers, per se, but it certainly sounds better to say that than what is actually the case: a blissful One-And-A-Half Night Stand Gone Horribly Horribly Wrong).It's all too Lifetime Movie for words, with everything played for Maximum Emotional Impact, including a music score swelling to ridiculous proportions (the better to milk that pathos). It's not that it is a bad movie; it's just that it's all been done before. And with more than 20 years of gay-themed cinema now under collective belts, isn't it about time that OTHER stories were told instead of yet another coming out melodrama? Can we at least have a coming out melodrama that is not afraid to explore the *consequences* of said coming out? I would have been far more interested to see what happens AFTER Mr Hottie Newly-Out Daddy drove away than in anything that happened before...

I watched this movie at a Movie Festival and, along with the whole audience, I gave it a standing ovation. Afterward, several of us voiced the fact that we were so proud of finally seeing a gay movie with such an impacting and, nonetheless, real life theme put together in a smart, witty, realistic, and inspiring way. I've been a fan of Charlie David and Thea Gill for some time. And now, I'm amazed at the talented Dan Payne who did a phenomenal job playing the closeted mid-aged (never too late!) father of the family, who decides to go for the "cliff jumping"decision of being his real self, no matter the cost. A role that many of us can relate to. I can't wait to have it at home for movie night with family and friends. Definitely thumbs up!

I caught this film at its Toronto festival release and I have to say that this movie was a very very pleasant experience. This is a story that is all too prevalent in society and still under-addressed. Charlie David's exploration was extremely in-depth emotionally and kept a beautiful balance between dark and light, sad and happy, drama and comedy. I also found the cinematography breath-taking. It conveyed a high production value with an excellent 'polish'. It has a quality acceptable in any market. I hope this allows for it to reach a large audience. I was very pleased with all the actors performances, however, I was most impressed by Dan Payne. His portrayal of Nathan was unbelievably well balanced and vulnerable. I have followed his career for a while and have seen his prowess in the comedic realm but this performance displays great talent I would like to see more of. I highly recommend watching this film if you get the chance.
