I'm hoping C.J.'s next film will be better. Which says a lot about how bad most gay films are. Still, for all it's faults, I would have to say that this is one of the better gay films of recent years. And you could easily cut half the characters from the film without losing anything. There are a lot of scenes that are mildly cute, but ultimately turn out to be a waste of time. (The main character went to Stanford on a golf scholarship, and his high school buddy doesn't even know that he plays the game?) Most of the time, this movie had no idea where it was going or what it was trying to say. The script falls back on weird coincidences and clichéd movie moments way too often. In particular, Tori Spelling has a couple of great scenes where she's talking to her fiancé's ex-boyfriend. There are some good performances, and a few funny scenes. The nicest thing I can say, however, is that it's NOT an awful film. As a fan of C.J.'s earlier movie, Latter Days, I really wanted to like this film.
