Wonderful Movie

Truly Dreadful Film

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The actor playing the gay guy must of been the author of this movie because he sure as heck is not an actor. I looked him up on IMDb and this is his only credit. No surprise there. This is like a commercial for being gay, and so cliché. The gay guys are so gay. The main one, Andy wears baseball caps that say San Francisco, and PFLAG, ( families for gay and lesbians, who must of helped pay the film, since he wears this cap most of the film). One word for this movie, clunky and awkward. It feels like a student video for school. The idea was to show a middle age man discovering he is gay. Labored bad sitcom writing, making points with baseball hats. Groan. Yes that bad.

I enjoyed this lighthearted and honest romantic comedy. This film has a lot of heart and soul. I found it refreshing that it was filmed in Philadelphia rather than the usual NYC or LA locations. The Rittenhouse square outdoor park scenes took advantage of the peaceful beauty and natural light of nature. It was wonderful to watch the romantic relationship develop between Andy and Paul in the beautiful setting of the park over a period of time in such a normal and natural way. I found the characters of Andy and Paul to be believable and lovable. They have an honest,real and sincere chemistry. This is a story about finding love, happiness and about discovering who you really are and what you really want. This is a gentle film with a gentle message about being true to yourself and how that allows everything else to fall into place perfectly.

I've been waiting for this movie for a long time. It is far from stellar execution, but certainly not the worst for a low budget film. The script could be cleaned up a bit. The acting isn't great and a few shots could have used a few more takes to make them more real and believable. Overall, I can't complain about the total experience. The main content of the film should be familiar to absolutely anyone who has been apart of a gay relationship. The reality is that different people are at different stages of coming out given any couple. This puts a strain on the relationship.This movie explores how this can evolve and how both sides are responsible for the problems caused by having a justified unwillingness to compromise on how public the relationship should be. The pacing may feel slow to people used to blockbusters, but it suits the film just right as it lets the relationship develop and breathe at the appropriate speed considering the circumstances.Maybe in today's age this is becoming less of an issue, but any gay couple should easily relate to and find real truth in this unique romance.

This little film is an unexpected knock-out - absolutely first rate. Made in Philadelphia, set around Rittenhouse Square, the location shooting is beautiful and the City of Brotherly Love looked more European than American. The cast is uniformly superb - an outstanding ensemble with each character developed and interesting. The storyline was consistently plausible and fascinating making you wonder constantly just how things would turn out. The dramatic climax was almost Shakespearean in its complexity but also very, very funny. The cast, although mostly unknown is highlighted by one of the gals from the hit TV show, Hot in Cleveland, Wendi Malick.
