    It's not earthshaking or life-changing, but it's cute, occasionally predictable and only requires ACTUAL idiots, like Barry, to act like idiots. As formula entertainment goes, that's a pretty sweet deal.

    A likable, extremely goofy piece of fluff.
  3. Writer-director Stewart Wade expanded his festival-circuit short film into a blobby, watery feature-length enterprise, unredeemed by its cast (though Sally Kirkland shows up as Todd's mom).

    Arrrghhh! So awful I almost left the theater--and I haven't done that since Madonna's "Who's That Girl?". Full of "seen-it-a-million-times" gay cliches, terrible performances, unlikely romance and the loony but usually watchable Sally Kirkland careening through a bad sit-com perfromance. This movie upholds the awful reputation of most gay flicks: banal, boring, whiney and dumb. Please, someone make another "Brokeback Mountain" quickly and spare us these "are-you-or-aren't -you travesties! Expand
