Henry Cray is a young gay man who's gone away to college and is enjoying the liberty of coming out, away from his family. The problem is that the boy's father is a powerful, conservative U.S. Senator ...( read more  read more... )and around campus, the son's homosexuality is a bit of an open secret. Enter 28 year-old gay activist Anthony looking to party, who quickly meets several guys willing to show him a good time -- including Henry.

    Can't even begin to describe how bad this film was. The concept was smart, but oh my God - the flatness and nonexistence of the script, the bad direction, the awful performances...just another movie failing in deliverance. Doesn't have one single thing about it that made me want ...( read more)to keep watching and it was so slow I often felt like turning it off -but didn't for the sake of having seen it. And now that I have I wish I had turned it off when I still could!

    The concept sounded interesting but the plot and acting were so bad, I had to turn this boring movie off after about 40 minutes.

    Not a well-made film. The concept was good and could have been developed a lot more. I felt like the characters were talking at each other, not to.

    My wife rented this by accident. It was badly made and we turned it off about 40 minutes into the movie.

    gay movie with an agenda. not really feeling it. matt newton is hot. michael lerner overdoes it. it has its moments -- but the epilogue is an "over-dramatic" mess. matt newton makes some good political points in the interview though.
