    A gay man and straight man decide to live together in a dodgy apatment where all sorts of crazy situations occur. A different kind of buddy movie.

    One of my Flixter "best friends" I Mann said it best: "This is a beautiful movie about the ups and downs of starting to live on your own and of friendship and curiosity. Really lovely movie and I highly recommend it." ... so do I.

    was only alright i guess. the plot was really jumpy.. like there were loop holes in places but other than that i think it was a rather sweet portrayal of friendship between straight and gay.
