Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

droogsandyarbles This one is a real winner. Enjoyable enough to make me watch it twice in the same day. An actual comedy that made me laugh. Very well-written. Exceptionally cast and acted. This is a feel good movie.. I have no equivalent term for chick flick for a gay guy flick that isn't remotely unacceptable...but this is one of those. I watched this with a group of straight friends who loved it as much as me, laughed as hard as me and thought it was well worth the time, the popcorn and beer. I would love to see more films with this much thought about a gay subject with just as much realism as comedy. If you want to spend a little bit of an hour and half laughing your butt off... load this one up, bring in your friends... and just be prepared to have a dang good time.

rjlafont Dorian is a young gay man just discovering himself. The story is not unique, the father is hostile to him, the mother afraid to speak out and help her son, the older brother in denial, but there is a twist. Through much introspection Dorian discovers that he is OK just the way he his, that he is not the freakish social outcast his father tells him he is. Step by agonizing step Dorian finds his own true path and while never easy he does prevail.Most independent gay theme movies try hard but never seem to get it all together. This one is different. The story is well written, clear and concise. The images and thematic flow work well and don't show the usual artifacts of a low budget. The actor are all very competent with the exception of the lead Michael McMillian who brings a very special something. Beyond being cuter than a "bug's ear" he has a presence that jumps out of the small screen. His comedic timing is startling for an actor so young. His ability to make you feel the emotions of the character in serious scenes is just as amazing. The strongest single part of this great little movie is the actor that plays Dorian.

philip-ct I saw this film in South Africa, where it was appallingly marketed and I probably wouldn't have seen it had I not seen IMDb write-up.This is a low budget film, with some unknown actors, but is nonetheless funny, warm, realistic (in places)and pertinent. The story is simple: Dorian is gay. How do he and his family cope with this? There are some hilarious moments: Leslie Elliard (who plays Dorian's therapist) is good.The film focuses on the family dynamics. Lea Coco (the straight brother, Nicky) and Michael McMillian (the gay brother, Dorian) generate such an easy brotherly chemistry- the film's strength lies in its depiction of this dyad, in particular.As the father(for whom Dorian has ambivalent feelings) Charles Fletcher is good, portraying an older generation with values and ideas that dare never be questioned. The film looks at Dorian's relationships within his family (a mother, played well by Mo Qigley)... but strings are too neatly tied up at the end; the fault is in the script, not the acting.A warm, sensitive film that deserves a wide(r) viewing. Kudos all!

Alan J. Jacobs This was a perfect film to watch after a light meal and before going home to watch TV. Light, satisfying, attractive male actors, and funny. A few of the players stood out, especially Michael McMillian, who played Dorian. He has a great way of delivering a killer line--reminds me of young Matthew Broderick or Topher Grace. A winning personality, but great neurotic schtick. The younger brother (who is a straight jock) is hot to look at, but a lesser actor. Some of the others in the film were good enough, but are obviously local actors (upstate NY is where the film was shot, and where it takes place).Cod Nickell, who plays Ben, is especially likable as Dorian's first boyfriend. If any of the other actors deserve to break out of Albany, it would be him.The movie is slyly comical, with a lot of big laughs. The director aims for big slapstick in Dorian's pickup in an S&M bar, but it was so ludicrous that it took away from the offbeat, but realistic tone of the rest of the movie. It was pure cartoon.There is nothing explicit (almost nothing implicit) in this movie, so it's safe for the whole family. I saw a lot of females in the theater, and they seemed to enjoy it as much as the men.
