How sad is this?

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I liked the two leads, genuine, warm performances, especially the dad.It was poorly filmed, very dark and shadowy at times, I so hate squinting at the screen.And the two leads with beards didn't help matters.BUT, the film took a long time to get to where it was going.Which was literally nowhere but a one night stand.Yes, it was tender. But there was absolutely no development of the characters' relationship. Unless you include that old cliché of the bad script shortfall featuring a couple silently laughing and laughing together over stuff the audience is never privy to.Odd unsatisfying effort. Like a sundae full of imitation ingredients.3 out of 10

Pit Stop is a gay love story situated in a little town in the state of Texas, USA. Yes, also in little places gay people do live. Not everybody moves to the Big Apple after their coming out. Some like the quietness of small town life or stay there for other reasons. I know many gays fear the loneliness of the countryside, but actually, destiny decides if you find love, no matter where you are. I liked this 'little' independent movie a lot. The men are beautiful and sensitive and they make sense. It's a dramatic movie, but not too. These men have pets, like a cat or dog, it all looked very real and sincere. Even the cat was so relaxed, like it actually lived there. I think this is a very adequate portrait of gay countrymen.

The film is predictable, slow, badly written, and really pointless. It has nothing original to say and most of the plot is either unbelievable or contrived. It contains many v e r y long silences and the action could have been speeded along in many easy ways. It is a very unprofessional effort that won't go down in any history of LGBT movie-making. I spent the whole film waiting for something dramatic to happen, or at least to get painlessly to the next scene. I have the impression that the writers just had no idea where they were going - as if their premise was 'two lonely guys find love'. That's just not enough. Everything, even the movements, are slow. They could easily have edited out over half the film and the essential storyline would remain intact. A film like this can only win prizes if there the competition is even worse... which just makes you feel sorry for LGBT juries everywhere.

You follow th life of two broken hearted men, Gabe and Ernesto, who live in the same town, go to the same places and work 100 ft away without even knowing each other. It may seem a little still at the beginning and by the trailer you might expect it to progress into a much more sexualized interaction between characters, but it turns out to be a nice romantic drama, which was a nice surprise. It's not one of those "instant love" movies in which two people meet, fall madly in love and ride in a white horse to the horizon, it's a bit deeper than that, showing you about how you can "move on" how and when you least expect it.I recommend it.
