Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Chris and Evan have been together a few years an now things are coming to an end at which point Evan buys a movie camera at a yard sale and becomes interested in old family movies because he was an orphan and grew up in foster homes and doesn't have a family and wishes he did. I don't know what Chris does except criticize Even, but maybe that's what his role was suppose to be. There is a lot of wasted time here. Lovely shots of trees and flowers and a day at the beach and Claire de Lune so this could have taken about 45 minutes in all. So now Evan shacks up with the son (Chris) of the garage sale guy who is 44 since Evan is 22, making the son twice his age. They hump a few times but Evan gets bored because he can't find himself. Early 20's angst is so unlifting. Oh well, soon Evan is bored with Chris and takes off on his own and then stops by the beach , Chris follows him but then just stands there looking and apparently leaves and Chis fades into fade out standing on the beach with voice over telling us he will probably never find himself, which is probably for the best because when he does he probably won't like it. Trite, typical (obligatory fag-hags and a flamer). This film is unoriginal and ordinary. Sorry, the only time it moved me was when I would check the thing on the bottom of the screen to see when it would be over.
