High expectations where not reached

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2006)

I had very high expectations for this movie, and they were not met. I can say, that overall, there were about 20 minutes of this film that were worth watching. There was no flow to this film, and it was outright boring. I have never fallen asleep while in the theater, but I almost did this time. This movie just seemed like an American shot at foreign "gay" films. There are, by far, much better "gay" films out there than this one. The one on the top of my list (from the ones that I have seen) would be "The Sum of Us". For those of you who do not know, this was an Australian film, staring Russel Crowe, which told the story of the relationship between a father and his gay son. Honestly, a very good and touching film, whether you are a Russel Crowe person or not (it was before his Hollywood days). Overall, this movie was garbage, but maybe this garbage will help every closed minded American to open up a little bit. We usually love bad movies in this country either way.
(this holds no reference to my review, but I am gay, and I think that the only reason this movie was given good reviews was so that GLAAD wouldn't get ticked off that the first American gay film to contain Hollywood actors, and hit somewhat big, would flop)
