Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
GazerRise Fantastic!
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
douglasnelsondn The movie started out slow with a horrible score through the entire movie. Not much dialogue and it was difficult to get the writers message of what the movie was about. Very slow. I can't believe I sat and wasted the time waiting for it to get good. Don't waste your time watching it!
lennybuttz OMG what a sad depressing desperate movie. This reminds me of the gay stories written for teens by straight women who don't have a clue what really happens in a gay relationship. There's hardly any dialogue, the camera looks longingly at inanimate objects trying to create a sense of total disrepair and loneliness. There really aren't any fun times or happy times. I can't imagine anyone who would want to be in such a depressing relationship. It's a good thing it ended when it did your these 2 boys probably would have made a Romeo and Juliet suicide pack so they could always be together.Women will probably eat this crap up but gay men who have had real and meaningful relationships won't recognize these characters.The movie doesn't really fit the description, I didn't see anything about church and bicycles or baseball. These boys never did anything fun. Mostly they just laid around in a severe case of depression.
Irishchatter To be honest with you, I thought the film was really boring to follow through.However the relationship between the boys would give you a really warm fuzzy feeling!The actors were spot on but it's just the storyline wasn't really that interesting nor the best really. By the way the film poster looked, it would probably be like an exciting romance film. It was a little disappointing by the fact it can trick you!I can't say anything more really because there wasn't much action going on so it would be pointless to say much of the film!
ekeby Two life-long friends and lovers face their first parting when one heads off to college. That's it. Period. And we really only know that because that's what we're told. If that hadn't been spelled out for us at the beginning of the movie, we'd have no idea what was going on.Both boys seem unrealistically pragmatic about spending one last summer together. What most kids in this situation would consider traumatic doesn't seem to phase these two. Maybe knowing each other since third grade has left them with nothing more to say. Because they don't say much, and what they do say is curiously devoid of emotional content.So it leaves you feeling a little hollow, even though the overall artiness more or less demands that we value the content of this film. It's like, "this is art, dammit, and you WILL appreciate it!"Well, I do and I don't. Much of the photography IS striking, but what we see mostly are scenes that might as well be stills, and most of those are in close up. The actors are so immobile I couldn't help feeling they were trying to help the DP keep the shot in focus. I didn't hate this, but I can't say I enjoyed it. It's pretty, the boys are pretty, and, mercifully, it's only 66 minutes long, so, you know, why complain? Well, because it doesn't add up to much.
