    It's refreshing to see a gay-themed romantic comedy handled with such all-around grace and care. It has everything; the writer/director and incredible character actors combine both drama, a little mystery and good 'ole cornball comedy to examine some complex problems that affect all of us today. Bravo to all involved. Now where is my commission check.. (just kidding).

    Very formula, but it works.

    I'd hate to think how the ending would have turned out if Henry, et al had switched towns with Brandon Teena. I still felt that this fanciful tale of requited and unrequited love was beautifully told.

    Forget what these folks are saying. Just go see the darn movie! Maybe I am just a pollyana and enjoyed "sugary-sweet fantasy," but movies can be picked apart endlessly! I can't believe some of the reviews I have read!! Am I watching a different cut? I think it is a wonderful movie about modern romance between modern, jaded people. It just happens that the main charcters are men. It wasn't "pro-gay" or any of that other crap. It touted the bonds of what it means to be family. Anything else is a lot of B.S. as far as I am concerned. … Expand

    Stunning scenery, full of charm. Yes, it's a feel-good fantasy, but the people are so lovable, especially Eric Schweig as shy, gentle Pike, the story is irresistible!

    Writer and first-time director Thomas Bezucha certainly knows how to create warmth, ambience and situation.

    But it's more than a crowd-pleaser shot at spectacular Rocky mountain locations -- it's almost revolutionary.

    Has all the crowd-pleasing elements moviegoers respond to: appealing hero, absorbing story, a solid group of supporting players and a big fat happy ending.
