The back drop in the mountain's is beautiful.
I do agree there is alot of extra footage that need's to be trimed out. The story does drag along in part's. Some of this movie should have been cut down for length.
The fact that the story is about two men is not an issue as far as being a good love story. Love is love, get over the homophobia people. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I started out disappointed to be watching it alone, and quickly learned how treacherously uncomfortable my husband would have been with the explicit gay sex. I could have actually done without it, but it was a truly great movie. Makes me sad for anyone who spends a lifetime pretending. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

All the people who did not like it are extremely prejiduce! I seen it 8 times in the theater and I saw everyone from every race, age and gender, or sexual orientation crying during the movie at least once. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Doesn't matter that this movie was about two men you have to see past that read between the lines and what the movie was about. Happens in life more often then we know it straight couples or gay/lesbian. Seriously besides the emotional feeling its about just how low the human behavior can get this movie rates in story line as Crash. Sad that peoples lives are distroyed by others and what they think and believe. Worry about your own life and leave everyone else alone to their beliefs, lives and ideas. Don't sweat the small stuff. No one is perfect and no ones life is perfect either. No one should ever have to live by someone else's expectations. Life isn't measured by our accomplishments, toys or money its how we lived our lives as a person and if you can honestly say you lived your life as you wanted and were happy that is all that matters. Worry about your life not how others live theirs. Great Movie if you can read between the lines. Credit and job well done to the actors as well. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

Read More With all the hype this movie got I was looking forward to seeing it & expecting to have a good cry at some point during the movie. I was very disappointed in what I saw. And I like almost every movie I see.
The acting, scenery, & concept of the movie were great, but the movie dragged on too long and the scenes were too choppy & repetitive. I can pretty much sum up the whole movie by saying it's about these 2 guys who lie to their wives about going on a fishing trip every summer with their buddy, but in reality they are going there to have raunchy sex, eat beans, smoke cigarettes, and drink whiskey. The End. How can anyone say that these guys were in love? There was no lovemaking in this film. It was all just raunchy sex. I would feel the same if it were a guy/girl as well. As another reviewer mentioned, this movie really is an insult to homosexuals rather than helping their cause.
I really think the concept of this film is great though. The story just wasn't that great. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
