Sally just happens to be Leo's high-school sweetheart. It's not long before Leo and Brendan pair off. Shown in the Market section at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
While not a sophomore jinx, this serio comedy about the fluidity of sexual identity among a group of youngsters is a disappointing follow-up to Troche's brilliant debut the lesbian comedy Go Fish, lacking focus and style.
Doris Toumarkine, Film Journal International
Its comedic approach is sledgehammer-subtle, with music slathered on to further force-feed the levity.
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
More than lives up to the promise Troche showed in Go Fish.
Arthur Lazere, culturevulture.net
a feather-light romantic comedy of considerable charm

I wasn't too happy with the ending. The scenes with Hugo Weaving were h-o-t.

A wonderfully solid comedy about relationships that manages to be silly without being fake. I really loved every one of those scenes with the Men's meetings.
