    A great movie shot in a fantastic setting. Wish it turned out like that in real life.

    It was a refreshing movie with realistic themes. Where were these movies when I was that age?

    Intelligent and sensitive. Finally, a gay-themed pic without layers of guilt trips to justify being oneself and no stereotyping to molify the homophobes.

    Great movie... sweet, sexy, and silly at times, but it still has true love at it's heart. It's especially good if you can find a version with English subtitles (for those who don't speak German.) Angsty and a bit heart-breaking... but just draws you in. Goregeous boys too!

    Another coming out/coming of age film but a little sweeter than most--are young boys in Germany really all that skinny? The one who impressed me most was the gay egotist.

    American film makers should take note...great acting, a nice story and not full of stereotypes. Wonderful film.

    Suprisingly good. A breath of fresh air for the genre.

    Summer Storm is director/co-writer Marco Kreuzpaintner's entry into the "I'm not gay but my boyfriend is" genre.

    Routine in some aspects, but compensates via psychologically sharp writing and performances.

    It just grows darker and broodier as Stadlober grapples with coming out. That's not an easy thing, but someone should tell the poor guy that being gay doesn't have to mean being this lame.
