Critic Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
A majority oriented movie that assumes sophisticated familiarity with a sexual minority.

Los Angeles Times
Berlanti brings a smart, witty, mainstream style to his well-crafted picture, which surely enhances its crossover appeal.

Chicago Sun-Times
So likable, we go with it on its chosen level.

Miami Herald
The strength of the performances, along with the good will generated by these flawed but likable characters, carry the movie through.

New York Daily News
It's the first mainstream gay movie that feels totally comfortable in its shoes.

Baltimore Sun
A slice-of-life where being gay is a fact of daily existence, not an excuse for existential dilemmas or grand tragedies.
|
| 67 |
Austin Chronicle
Funny and friendly and all-inclusive and unremarkable.
|

Philadelphia Inquirer
An undemanding and reassuring amiability that made it a crowd-pleaser at Sundance.

New York Post
Turns out to be a choppily written, unevenly acted exercise, no less shlocky and predictable than any of Hollywood's average second-string heterosexual comedies.

The New York Times
Emerges as an engaging if occasionally hokey inspirational melodrama about the importance of community in the face of life's disappointments.

Shallow though it may be, is a breakthrough.

Film.com
A constant video rental for a community that aches to see itself as banal and generic.
|

Boston Globe
It plays like a pilot for what I imagine will be network TV's first all-gay sitcom.
|

Mr. Showbiz
Pushes the standard tropes of gay romance movies a few more steps toward full-blown cliché-dom.

LA Weekly
He (Berlanti) shoots for bland entertainment and scores.
|

Portland Oregonian
This little serio-comedy contains absolutely nothing that warrants big-screen release. It's lit like TV, acted like TV and staged like TV.

Village Voice
Bloated loquaciousness, damp self-absorption, and defensive reflexiveness on display here.
