Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

oofyprosser-94487 Got to chime in with everything scootmandutoo said. I don't think I can remember a single moment in this whole movie that I found emotionally convincing, or even plausible. Was it the hackneyed writing, the extremely far-fetched situation (yeah, I guess there may be guys out there from the Ivy League-Choate-Amherst-Wall Street law firm set that actually stay deep in the closet at this late date, if only to clinch their places in Daddy's country club and will, but I just don't travel in those exalted circles), or the unbelievably _earnest_ efforts made by all the actors other than the male leads? No, they all tried so damn hard it wore me out to watch them. And then you have Tommy and Daniel, whose scenes together were like a torrid (or torrid one minute, chilly the next) love affair between two planks of lumber. Did sparks fly? No, but sawdust must have piled up in the corners. Lawd have mercy, chillun, at least try to pretend you're feeling SOMETHING, not just standing around waiting for your next dividend check!Very rarely do I regret time spent watching any movie whatever which claims to speak the Life of the Gay Male. This time I did. Folks, really don't waste your time when there are pictures like "Big Eden" and "Parting Glances" and (the hilarious) "Sordid Lives" waiting to be seen and re-seen. Listen to me. I'm your mothah. I know about these things.

aretel This film starts off well giving me an element of hope that this film might actually be good. But just as my expectations are lifted, the sledge hammer comes down hard crushing all hope of this film being somewhat entertaining.The acting is good, but the writing doesn't do the actors justice. Even the best of actors couldn't make this film believable or plausible. There are too many stereo types written into the script which makes it tired, dated and so irritating to watch.The casting was well done which was the only redeeming factor that made the film palatable to watch.The ending of this film was, let me just say, very incomplete and unsatisfying. There really was no resolution except for the obvious.A total bust in my opinion.

sinnerofcinema There is much to be said for this film. It is deep and filled with lots of unexpected turns. I specially enjoyed this film because it dives into the realm of real raw emotion-just the way people feel and think. The way the main character is conflicted about his values vs his true emotions mixed with societal/family expectations was developed very well. The film is also a very intelligent, well crafted piece of real life and about how things work out due to unforeseen circumstances. It is also a cautionary tale of what happens when you allow true relationships to linger for too long without really showing the way you feel. People, as with life, move on, so the message to the story is clear. Do not take people for granted because once that relationship that was special is gone, it is hard to regress back to how things were. In short, "The One" is about living life to the fullest with all of its consequences. Definitely worth watching.

scootmandutoo I just watched this at a monthly gay film fest and I have to admit, I haven't turned away from the screen this much since the brutal scenes in "Hostel." I spent much of the movie watching through my spread fingers. I didn't feel too out of place, because my partner was with me and he actually thought it was worse than I did. Not quite as bad as some glbt-themed movies can be, like, say, the entire 'Eating Out' series. At least, in those cases, the films oozed so much superficiality you never expected much. This film actually has higher production values. Some of the performances are even borderline decent. The problem is with the script and all the clichés and the fact that these characters are so creepy that they are entirely unlikable...and then the film leaves you with an ending that makes you feel you just gave up 90 minutes of your life...for what?This one was a cross between the "Eating Out" movies and "Making Love," so we dubbed it "Making Out," which certainly sounds better than "Eating Love." I guess I don't understand why one of the protagonists that we are supposed to sympathize with is a creepy stalker/pathological liar, who preaches true love and then just uses someone he cares nothing about to propose marriage to, simply as a revenge ploy. And the other guy is not only cheating on his bride with another man, but the scriptwriter gives wifey a back story of a woman with abandonment issues whose father walked out on her. And then....let's her get pregnant! You are kidding me, right? Torture, I tell you. And forget that the wife is as clueless as a bag of rocks and has a clairvoyant girlfriend who can spot a gay man a mile away and then even sleep with them, because...well...it is theatre and a woman has to have sex with someone! Arrrrrggggggghhhhh.But the really torturous scenes involved a bachelor party and scenes with mom and dad and cigars and....oh it's too painful to relive it all.I will say this....it certainly had us talking. Just not in the way the filmmaker intended.ps.....afterward, consider how well Jon Prescott's acting resembled a plank of wood. He captures being an inanimate object as well as just about anyone I have ever seen.
