This movie is why depressed gay men stay depressed. Jesus! We already suffer through Brokeback Mountain and a million other gay-themed films that can't possibly seem to be written EVER with a happy ending. I get it. "This is real," and all that pretense. How about a movie where some dude gets the dude before the credits roll? Can we have a movie where two men from different worlds actually fall in love and end up happy? Just for fun? Throw us a bone, will you? Can we as gay men have our own "Pretty Woman?" Doesn't seem so. This is exactly the reason I stay away from LGBTQ films. They try so hard to be artsy and "real life," they end up with endings that make you want to flush your head down the toilet. Isn't life depressing enough?
I'll never watch this movie again, despite the great actors. I'll give the film that much. They performed well in what is a total sucking let-down. This could have been a great film that ends with a person learning to love himself, and another finding a man he can love throughout his life as well, but nope. If you're watching this for romance, I'll save you the time: Go find a straight movie. The gays ones are too damn depressing.
