I was hoping for something with a bit more of a story but was disappointed, once again. It was reasonably acted and the characters were OK but it was just a bit to shallow and a bit too cliche. Would have to agree with what Peter JH says in his review.

In Australia we get so few of the worldwide release of gay and gay interest movies that it seems churlish to be critical of the few we do get but this, really, is just another of the middle-class, pretty boy story that lacks credibility and that is the now the standard output of American production companies. It takes a swipe at fundamentalist religion (okay, that's always an easy target) and the capriciousness of young gay men: so tell us something we didn't know. But, essentially, that’s about it. There is some full frontal including a scene that takes place in front of an open ground floor window on the campus of a Christian university (as if). This is worth hiring for the obligatory watch of any gay movie that comes along but that’s about it. (The Icelandic offering, Jitters, is worth a look).
