    It's an above average gay-themed movie...because there is a lot of crap out there. But it is lacking in character development. You don't really know why Craig and Matt feel in love with each other. It feels a bit forced at times, but the acting is good from the main characters. See this movie with low expectations and you will like it.

    You never get a chance to really know the characters, and you therefore don't really care what happens. The supporting characters are no better, and are even less likeable. Avoid this.

    I liked the movie because it offers a good story, easy to follow, and the actors are good. It is not a high budget movie, but it is a well produced movie. I recomend it.
