Ratings and reviews

So unexpectedly charming... It's really no wonder Christian Campbell didn't do much after this, his performance was kind of blah. JP Pitoc was actually pretty charming after you got to know him. For me, the movie was all about the supporting cast and especially my Tori Spelling. Finally, she got to prove that she could be more than Aaron Spellings daughter. She was hilarious. I could not resist rewinding to her scenes over and over. I truly hope she is given more opportunities to shine, I lo e you Tori!

This movie is actually quite the LGBT cult classic. Its storyline parallels many misadventures of gay men, even in today's society. It's a shame more similar movies have not surfaced within this same exploratory, intellectual and introspective but comical view about interpersonal relationships. I feel sometimes these types of movies veer into "documentaries" that no longer encompass funny and embarrassing moments. One could say that at the end of Friends & Full House TV era... We forgot "the Gays".

Love this movie. One of my top gay films. Both stars are drop dead beautiful. The music even makes me smile and lifts my mood. Very cute and adorable writing.
