With the help of a hot, slightly older new acquaintence (Noseworthy),
the closeted son (Newton) of a conservative U.S. Senator (Lerner) puts a
shocking spin on his dad's re-election campaign.
Most reviews for this movie are quite negative, and I guess I am in the
minority when I say this - but this movie was fantastic!!! It is not
your traditional gay movie, actually it doesn't really have much of a
gay focus which might annoy some people. It's more a coming of age
story and is relate-able to everyone, no matter what your sexual
orientation is. At first the plot of this movie might seem to move
along too slowly, but that is simply to establish the characters and
setting of the movie which is something that has to be done to fully
appreciate this movie. When you look back on the movie, you do realize
how everything fits in together perfectly, now that you know
everything, although it might seem a little bit muddled halfway through
the movie.
Some other users have commented on the movie not being multi
dimensional, but I think that the way that the characters reacted are
pretty realistic, and most people (generally) are multi dimensional but
may only show one side of their selves for one reason or another, and
don't forget that this movie is focused from the point of view of Henry
Kray. It also has many plot twists, and though it has be commented upon
that it is too predictable, I thought nothing of the sort. The
characters are oddly unpredictable, and are like multi layered onions,
many people might just look it and observe that is it just another gay
movie, but it is not, it is so much more than that.
