Reviews:

Uninteresting gay romcom.
I’m always in for a nice gay-themed movie. But this one is unfortunately of questionable quality. It’s basically a romcom, but of the most sentimental kind, never exceeding the level of simple soap-opera. As a curious extra the cast, at several, mostly odd and awkward moments, out-of the blue starts singing, by way of some sort of musical comment on the goings-on. It simply doesn’t fit the story, the music itself is hardly appealing and Grant Davis is rather unimpressive as a singer.

The story is the weakest link in this movie. Main character Ben goes over the years through a series of repeating romances with two lovers, every hick-up is blown into huge emotional proportions (with according epic background music) and when at last there is all of a sudden a really dramatic life-event, it’s almost brushed aside within 5 minutes to give the movie it’s apparently needed happy end, that by the way with me left a rather cynical impression.

I liked Davi Santos and Ben Baur, both acted fairly well, but I had some trouble with Grant Davis as main character Ben. It was a mystery to me how these two great guys – the one exotically handsome, the other sweet and loyal – apparently were fighting over this sulky and grumpy guy who slouched depressively through most of the movie and wasn’t in any way attractive or even sympathetic.

All this, along with an overlong duration of almost 2 hours, made watching this movie a long and rather tedious experience.

Good story but ran too much like daytime soap with unnecessary musical numbers.
I almost bought the book on Amazon. But the fool in me gave it a pass. Now that I’d seen the movie I have a rather mixed feelings about it. I mean the story is fine; beautiful, in fact.

But it ran so much like a daytime soap that it felt too sappy at times. And what’s worse it tried to be a musical which was totally off. So much so that it even felt like “Glee”.

In any event, putting the cheesiness of daytime soap and musicals aside, what’s important was the story itself. In all honesty, it’s a beautiful story that spans several decades and with the movie’s run time being slightly under 2 hours I’d say the story line was pretty solid. But it all had to be credited to the author of original novel itself, Jay Bell. Production-wise was “meh”.

However, it doesn’t hurt that the two main leads happened to be cute.
