Anxiety is the main course for young Dorian Lagatos but these are not your average adolescence blues. Not only is he going through high school purgatory but also struggling to move out of the shadow o...( read more  read more... )f his star athlete brother while dueling with his domineering, homophobic father. Dorian, a self-described "stereotypical gay," is so horrified by his father's reaction he enlists his brother to help him "think straight". Acceptance, however, may lie only at the end of his journey through boozy counselors, swing-dancing strippers and sudden emotional discoveries. No one said "coming out" was easy.

    Indie films are always the best. Take this one for example. Not many people know it, even fewer have actually seen it. But it's a great film. Mostly a tragedy disguised as a comedy -and that absolutely works. It's hilarious, fresh, has a meaning, rhythm and wits.

    Michael McMill...( read more)an was brilliant in his role as a confused high school student and later graduate whose father's abusive nature towards him turns him into a scared individual. The script -although flawed in points- is not original, but works amazingly well in this case. I would suggest this film for a 90 minutes' duration of pure fun and thought.

    Obviously low budget. Mediocre acting. Starts out promising and then becomes a soapy bunch of whiners feeling sorry for themselves.

    Mais um filme sobre o jovem gay saindo do armário e encarando os conflitos com a família e a rejeição dos colegas.

    O filme não mostra nenhuma novidade nesse aspecto, mas tem como grande mérito - e por isso as três estrelas - a relação do personagem principal com o "awsome" ir...( read more)mão mais novo, que é bem mais maduro e parece compreender melhor o que é ser diferente dos padrões consvervadores do que o próprio gay da história.

    A good movie. I love the end Quote when Dorian said. You know the worst thing my father ever did to me? He convinced me it matters what people think of you. And the truth is, they never think quite enough. So from then I started living my life no matter what they thought. Even wh...( read more)en they thought I was crazy and should take my liberal views and my pink shirt and move to another planet, I just had to laugh 'cause it's not pink, it's fuscia!
