For the minister's son, Brandon, this is a summer of awakening … and acceptance of his
homosexuality. For his father, this is a challenge to his roots in the bible as he interprets
its posture on sexuality that ultimately drives him to "save" his son by killing his lover,
Logan. In a broader exploration of "acceptance", a play-within-the-film recalls two
landmark tragedies in the history of gay culture: the murder of Matthew Shepard, and the
suicide of Tyler Clementi. An intertwined story traces an Erie Canal cruise operator's
challenges in starting a "gay" cruise in presumed conservative Upstate New York. The
message, "Accept What You Can't Change," is directed to non-gay individuals who need
to better understand the reality of homosexuality; and to gay individuals who need to
absolve themselves from the notion that being gay is somehow wrong and shameful.

This movie was directed in a way that makes the acting look bad, only if you compare it to what we're fed daily by the media. I wouldn't call it bad acting, just a different style. I think that's what the director intended, because every single character acted in the same style. The whole movie through, not all of these characters could be the same way if they weren't coached. If you really get into the movie, and the messages, and if there are things you've experienced yourself, then I think you'll enjoy it. Don't know why, but enjoyed this film.

WORST MOVIE EVER... I COULD NOT STAND TO WATCH IT ANY LONGER THAN 30MINS.. THE ACTING IS REALLY BAD AND THE MOVIES ITS SELF IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WASTE OF MONEY

I love this film and the rather "French Cinema" time spent with characters before the story begins to evolve. The scene that deals with Tyler Clementi and Mathew Shepard was both simple and compelling. I wish we saw more films in this genre that were this brave and direct.
