    A neo-punk, loose look at love in a seemingly all-gay L.A. that manages to touch your heart and cause you to care about the characters. The relatively unknown cast is impressive (and sexy), and the film also scores with a good soundtrack.

    One of the best queer movies since Hedwig. it captured a moment in your mid twenties that i wish i was still in.... and bunches of cute boys and girls. I also really liked the music. i would recommend it.

    An ensemble seriocomedy that's initially loose to a fault, but gradually wins one over with its shaggy charm -- and by the close has grown more ambitious, and poignant, than initial reels lead you to expect.

    The climactic shocker is far too exacting, but Lewis nails the milieu, and has the sense to not spell out every motivation in capital letters.

    Relentlessly bright and superficial, even when the subject turns to self-destruction.
