    I was reading the various "reviews" here on Flixter for this movie. It reminded me that each review (including the "plot" summary) should be titled "in my opinion". So, in my opinion, this is a movie worth seeing. It's about a lot more than being gay. No special effects or that ...( read more)stuff, but a movie to watch and listen to and, maybe, even think about a bit.

    Nice kick off for Jun Hee Lee. Could have been better acting and was somewhat over the top. I got the message. And Jerry Hernandez is such a sweetie.

    Some people really liked this movie. I just thought it was rather weird since the acting had much to be desired.

    What I consider to be an interesting take on a "gay movie" Defin9tely worth a look

    Quite a poor movie to say the least..... Certainly not worth the time to watch it.

    This film wasn't what I was expecting at all. It's very touching in some ways, disturbing in others, but very well acted. A love story like you'll never have seen, and so original it deserves a good rating.

    I have not seen this movie yet. It has to be a good movie if its done by Quentin Tarantino. I will have to watch this one now. After I see it I will come back and post a comment on how it was.
