My Favorite Movies

I'm very happy with the movie overall. It's colorful and well-acted drama. Not bombastic and preachy like Hollywood drama movies and much better than your average American "slice-of-life" indie like Rachel getting married etc. Kudos for the director and the actors for elevating an otherwise B drama movie into one of the finest 90 minutes drama movie (and also this movie is safe for family viewing!).

This is a truly hidden and obscure gem. Surprisingly brilliant. Ceritanya berubah total, gw ga nyangka akhirnya filmnya bakal seperti ini...gw kira cuma love story doang, ternyata much more complcated. Hollywood is not capable of doing a movie this good. Highly recommended.

Love this movie, although the accent is so thick, I NEED ENGLISH SUBTITLES! I cn definitely see why this movie is a gay classic and all-time favourite. Slice-of-life story with magical ending.

This movie is surprising in many ways. I didn't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched it. My friends were ready to dismiss this movie after the first 15-20 minutes but I'm glad I didn't let them get their way. In the beginning I didn't get it but quickly enough I got absorbed into Benny's world and could relate to his struggle. At times it feels epic and even romantic. I like it enough to forgive some obvious flaws of the movie. Overall a great movie and SHOULD NOT BE MISSED. For me this movie outshadows all Oscar winners, yes I mean you Slumdog, Benjamin Button, Departures!!.

The most romantic movie of 2005.

For some reason, the DVD cover is too racy for Flixster so they changed it. :p
Anyway, this is one of those indies that is cheaply made but has its hearts in the right places. I found it embarrasing to watch at times because the shoestring budget really shows, but overall, it's a sweet little movie and recommended for a romantic night.

Truly an overlooked gem, this two hour biopic traps your attention and never let go, no matter how comfortable you are with the subject matter. Authentic and moving (and left me sniffling with a lump on my throat). Definitely a recommended viewing!

Well well well....I'm fortunate enough to be able to watch this movie considering my country of origin is a religious Muslim country. I'm an agnostic so I'm all for this film. Having been said that, the movie could have been better, because the movie starts off well up until mid-point, the second half feels uneven, maybe because of the diversity of the topics in the second half (non-Zionist Jew, Islam, Mormonism, Scientology etc). So in the end the movie's final moment, although powerful, feels a little out-of-place/forced./rushed Other than that, kudos to Mr Maher, I'm his new fan. It's one of those movies that I wish could have been longer.
