Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) David Ehrenstein

Has all the crowd-pleasing elements moviegoers respond to: appealing hero, absorbing story, a solid group of supporting players and a big fat happy ending. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

Dares to substitute wit and warmth for the standard gay indie tropes in tackling its tale of an unconventional couple.

Scott Heller

It's a refreshing alternative to hipper-than-thou moviemaking.

Paula Nechak

Writer and first-time director Thomas Bezucha certainly knows how to create warmth, ambience and situation. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

By creating a kind of politically correct version of Andy Griffith's "Mayberry," director Bezucha has drained the movie not only of bigotry but also of dramatic conflict.

Mark Holcomb

Stupefyingly benign. Read full review
