Love, love, love this film. Funny, adorable, romantic. This movie was ahead of its time, and it is still rare to see gay cinema of this quality…

Deals well with a deep subject, but the insistence on providing some comedy moments and an uplifting ending does take something away from it…

Low budget, with fair acting. The screenplay doesn't ring true, therefore the story really isn't convincing…
