Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

SnoopyStyle In 1967 Cleveland, Bobby Morrow idolizes his older brother but he dies in a freak accident. In high school, he gets into a secret gay relationship with Jonathan Glover. Jonathan's mother Alice (Sissy Spacek) teaches him how to bake. At 24, Bobby (Colin Farrell) moves to NYC and reunites with Jonathan (Dallas Roberts). Clare (Robin Wright Penn) is their bohemian roommate. They form an unconventional threesome family.As a biopic, it's OK. As a relationship movie, it's meandering. As a historical drama, they're in period gear. The acting is nothing special. Colin Farrell is good. Director Michael Mayer does nothing but a straight line job. It's an unimpressive movie derived from better material with good actors in the mix.

Elisabetha49 Firstly, thank 'you' Sissy Spaceck for you trouble and involvement ; secondly, thanks for Robin Wright' presence; thirdly, however Under-toned, thank's for Colin Farrel's impersonation's ...; Wholesemoly, a TRUE and UNIQUE gem of a motion-picture's adaptation of an 'unique' written NOVEL ... !!??Seecondly, more of the same, thank 'you' Sissy Spaceck for your trouble and 'sharing'...Why ?, didn't you ALL share with your "pair's" appraisal of your performance's and/or object's ...Again, and repeated, this fictional depiction of family-related life is way-out-of-reality, however realistically-portrayed !!

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU The most frustrating, exhilarating and disquieting gay film I have seen… so far.Bobby is marked by death and ends up a young teenager with no family at all. He is adopted by the family of his best friend, Jonathan, with whom he had had some physical contact like most boys do. Their closeness can grow little by little but the two young men are so different that there is a chasm between their desire for mutual love.Bobby remains with his adoptive family and becomes a baker. Jonathan moves to New York to study at first but on the wrong motivation actually. His main character is that of a shy person who runs away as soon as someone has the slightest ever glimpse on his deeper and private life he wants to keep a secret. He is phenomenally in love with Bobby but cannot admit it in public. He ran when his own mother discovered the two of them on the point of kissing and a little bit more in their car. The mother would not even have protested but Jonathan got scared.When Bobby's adoptive family decides to move to Arizona in their older age Bobby asks Jonathan if he can join him in New York. Jonathan adores the idea and invites him over and there Bobby discovers Clare, the woman Jonathan is in love with and who is in love with him. Her only dream, after her divorce, is to get a child. So they start a ménage-à-trois and it could work well provided Jonathan accepted the idea of having a love relation with Bobby under Clare's accepting eye.The rest will be your discovery as for the details.But the film is very surprising and very sad in many ways. Clare will eventually leave with the daughter Rebecca one day insistently asking the father of the child if he wants to come along. He refuses to stay with the other man and finally realize, alone together, their life long love affair under no scrutinizing eye at all.That's absolutely fascinating: the shyness, the modesty, the shame and the shamelessness, the desire and the fear, the need to escape and the attraction in that gay couple that could live their passion along with Clare but one of the two cannot relax enough to do that. It is sorrowful to see how the woman and mother of the child accepts without actually saying so to move away with the child to let the two men free to live there love. And we are definitely saddened by the fact that this gay love affair that everyone accepts cannot be lived through without the two men being deprived of their own child, the woman they both love and who loves them both.Saddening and so beautiful for these two men to live in the dream and promise that one day the daughter will come back to inherit their beautiful house, their land and their business though that would be after an event they don't even identify but is highly probably death. For the meantime let them redecorate the girl's room for when she comes as an adult.You can't even cry on such a film. It is pure torture of the heart, the mind and anything reasonable in you. And that's the beauty of it.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

ofdreams This is a rare and amazing example of how beautiful, courageous film storytelling can be used to touch people to say things that really make us think, really make us feel. These characters are totally captivating. The dialogue is genuinely unique. Nothing about this film is pat or predictable. I thought Colin Farrell was very good in both The New World and Pride and Glory (great films), but I developed an idea of what he is like, what he is capable of as an actor. His performance in this film showed me that he may be capable of ANYTHING. I was shocked that he could play this character and so wonderfully - totally amazing. I am won over.
