Long-Term Relationship Trailers

Tired of the unsatisfying singles scene, Glenn answers a personal ad and meets Adam, a handsome Southern man seeking a long-term relationship. The two hit it off immediately, but their initial attraction is soon put to the test. Glenn's gay friends say he'd be happier playing the field again, but his straight pals encourage him to work at the budding relationship.

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
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.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
hddu10 An assault and insult to gay men everywhere; apparently of whom the majority are vapid yet stern democrat sexoholic clichés who make poor attempts at wit and humor. This film tries so hard to be relevant and funny, but is a LONG tedious road-trip away from both. None of the jokes were remotely funny (and here's a hint: don't edit in long pauses after each joke for emphasis as if you're at a dinner-party...PICK UP THE PACE and maybe we won't NOTICE how bad the joke was!). The premise that any gay man who doesn't work for "ACT OUT" remotely cares about the political leanings of his sex-partner is beyond laughable. The only theme that COULD have been interesting was how two men overcome "bad sex". THIS was what I personally wanted to see resolved...and it never was! Were they just satisfied to a semi-platonic relationship? Did they find the magic formula (i.e. "being old-fashioned"?) or were they destined to continue trying? This was just a really bad exercise in campy comebacks...the type one would expect from shallow friends-of-friends at a drunken cocktail where you tell everyone you'll keep in touch but give fake numbers to.
BeachhGirl I have seen many gay films, & this is one of the best. Rob Williams may be a "new" director, but I think he did an excellent job. The looks, comments, moves, etc. by the characters only added to the movie. Casting was great - There was wonderful chemistry between Windham & Matthew, which only added realism to the movie. I disagree with another comment that fag hags are necessary to attract the female demographic. (many men, straight or gay, have female friends, & I resent that term). I am a straight woman; & while I liked the character of Mary Margaret, I certainly wasn't very interested in her part (sorry). I was interested in the love story between 2 hot guys who were looking for real love. While the story line is somewhat predictable, it is a good romantic comedy, with some great and funny lines. Artie O'Day, Jeremy Lucas - they were all good. The Commentary is hilarious & definitely worth listening to after you've watched the movie. Check out the soundtrack - it's got some wonderful tunes. I will definitely look for more from Rob & all the actors in this film.
fred2212 The movie was shown during the Verzaubert Filmfestival in Berlin today and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I agree with some other comments made that the plot really uses a lot of gay stereotypes. But aren't the "straight" (apologies for making the comparison...) romantic comedies not just the same - with the exception that to my knowledge they did not focus on erotic "incompatibility" yet. Unfortunately exactly this part is not very convincing in the movie...BUT you forget about all the stereotypes and deficiencies when you watch the marvelous performance of Matthew Montgomery - his acting is very intense and I am looking forward to see more from him in the future.
lavarian A truly frightening film. Feels as if it were made in the early '90s by a straight person who wanted to show that gays are good, normal, mainstream-aspiring people. Retrograde to the point of being offensive, LTR suggests that monogamy and marriage are the preferred path to salvation for sad, lonely, sex-crazed gays. Wow! Who knew? The supporting characters are caricatures of gay stereotypes (the effeminate buffoon, the bitter, lonely queen, the fag hag, etc.) and the main characters are milquetoast, middle-class, middlebrow clones, of little interest.As far as the romantic & ideological struggles of the main couple are concerned, there's not much to say: we've seen it all before, and done much better.
