Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

I think this movie may have originally been meant to be a play but it adapts well. I enjoyed it much more than most independent movies. I do not find anything cliché about it. There are several duos of characters present who are each coming to terms with what they know of particular relationships in their lives or what they think they know of those relationships. I think the acting ability in this is fair. There are several new faces to see but they each demonstrate a proficient ability. There are some very to scenes to put this in the quirky category which I like. I enjoyed this film.I think it is definitely worth a watch.

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this work - both times I watched it. I found it warm, charming, cute, funny with poignant (with a message). I thought the "message" was in the last line of the film. I always enjoyed Wendy Malik. I thought the cast was strong, the story good, well written and production values high. I thought the love interest (talented and handsome Chris Murrah) was utterly natural, a sympathetic character you just route for. I enjoy a great many Independent Films and this one is definitely re:watchable (many times). I think it's a little gem of a film. It's regrettable that some other people didn't see the charm of this film. Some just enjoy the 'critique' part of voicing their opinions. I could watch Chris Murrah all day, but this film is charming. A real gem.

I've been waiting for this movie for a long time. It is far from stellar execution, but certainly not the worst for a low budget film. The script could be cleaned up a bit. The acting isn't great and a few shots could have used a few more takes to make them more real and believable. Overall, I can't complain about the total experience. The main content of the film should be familiar to absolutely anyone who has been apart of a gay relationship. The reality is that different people are at different stages of coming out given any couple. This puts a strain on the relationship.This movie explores how this can evolve and how both sides are responsible for the problems caused by having a justified unwillingness to compromise on how public the relationship should be. The pacing may feel slow to people used to blockbusters, but it suits the film just right as it lets the relationship develop and breathe at the appropriate speed considering the circumstances.Maybe in today's age this is becoming less of an issue, but any gay couple should easily relate to and find real truth in this unique romance.

I gave this movie a 2 because at times Wendy Malick was watchable. The rest was painful at best. The dialogue is horrible and trite. The acting wasn't nearly good enough to save the dialogue. The characters were false and empty at best. They were either boring and made no sense or over the top and made no sense. All in all - OUCH! The premise was interesting, but there wasn't enough motivation to move the story along. I think the writer might have been trying for one of those quirky, independent, everyone is connected whether they know it or not movies - but if so it hasn't been achieved. The only saving grace of this movie was Wendy Malick. She is funny and fun to watch. Her portrayal of Elise is great. When she shares a scene with others (such as Chris Murrah, who plays Andy) her performance and what she brings to the role elevates the performances of the others.
