I was skeptical in seeing this movie becuase it just seemed to scream "fluff"....however, after watching, I can say I was wrong, this really is a good movie.
The storyline is as old as time, just freshened abit, the actors quite good, the eye-candy, gratuitous, yet tasteful.
This movie reminds us all of our insecurities, of the "tangled webs" that we've weaved, and the torture of pining for another.

Wow, a gay movie I actually enjoyed! I wish I had seen it at the movies with a group of friends. This is a movie we need to support.

The story is not original: boy meets boy, boy lies to boy, boy loses boy and finally boy get's boy! But the actors are so appealing that it makes it work. Gosh darn it, if that damn cowboy didn't won me over, even when his "acting" skills were a little lacking. But I have a soft spot for cute cowboys!

I chuckled from the newspaper subscription calls. I get a lot of those here in Austin, ugh!
The aspect of this movie I enjoyed the most, was there were no crazy or demented characters with bizarre motivations. I actually cared what happened to the characters. A job well done by the director, J.C. Calciano. I look forward to seeing more of his work!

This is indeed that rare gay-themed movie: witty and entertaining, with a very talented cast, and devoid of that too-familiar low-budget feel. It is filled with interesting (if somewhat stereotypic) characters, and will charm the pants right off of any self-respecting card-carrying gay man, and perhaps a few of your friends, as well. Admittedly, it starts with the standard boy-meets-boy premise, but takes us on an enjoyable "will-they/won't-they" ride. ( No, the outcome is never really in doubt. ) Buy this DVD to put right next to "Trick" on your "favorite movies" shelf.

It's old Hollywood. Boy meets boy - boy loses boy -boy gets boy. I loved every minute of this movie!

Wow - I really enjoyed this movie! The storyline and writing was extremely well done and the actors played their characters superbly. It's been awhile since a gay romantic movie this well done has come along. Is it just me? was worth the wait!
