A truly fantastic and beautify simple film.

I watched this film by accident flicking the TV years ago so when I realised it was on again the other day I couldn’t wait to watch it. In doing so I came to realise that I was right in thinking this film was fantastic! I rarely watch films and feel so emotional after. I have gay friends so watching the film wasn’t shocking or unappealing, and unlike other depictions I couldn’t believe how real it was, I mean this in the emotional sense. The only other film I have seen with so much raw emotion is the British film “Truly Madly Deeply”. both films are so similar in the simplicity and standard of natural acting, you don’t feel like any of the emotion is fictional, a viewer can really relate to the characters. I just feel that the film is worth watching and such a rare find.

Dude,I loved this movie as well. I saw it about five years ago. I rented it from blockbuster(remember them?)after looking at the cover and thinking it looked interesting. I liked it a whole lot, dude. I came on cable a few months ago at like two in the morning and stayed up and watched it.

hi!!!!

I saw this film yesterday at home and I liked it very much. Maybe it's the typical story about a gay schoolboy but nowdays it still happens.
I felt a bit sad about John 'cause he cannot be who really is and he loses his first true love because of that. By the way, Brad Gorton, who plays this character, is really hot and He made a good performance.
I like all characters, their storylines and how they are shown in the film.

bye!
