Critic Reviews

  • Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle

    Renders its gay and religious characters so stereotypical that neither lifestyle appears attractive.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    It's a winning, heartfelt and conflicted piece where the conflicts often resolve themselves in surprising ways.

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is.

  • Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

    A fairly flat, predictable tale.

  • Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

    It's more melodrama than drama or love story, and Cox, who wrote Sweet Home Alabama, seems to have never met a stereotype he didn't like.

    My sister bought this on DVD so I decided to watch it with her without knowing much about it besides it's gay subject matter. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a poignant, insightful, and very original film with a wealth of strong performances and a tight script.

  • Robert C


    Had potential, but (thanks to reenforcing horrible stereo types) it ended up being just another gay themed movie.

    interesting characters and story with good acting and Jacqueline Bisset too!
