Highly appreciated attempt in creating something like a believable touching emotional romantic comedy between two young guys, and it surprisingly worked out well. It's witty, touching, not too overdramatic, it has a tenderness and an affectionate chemistry between the two handsome leads, so even the erotic scenes were not embarrassing. ( But An R-Rating? Really???)
On the weak side we have most of the supporting characters arranged in a very superficial, stereotyped way around the love couple. Depending on the quality of their acting some scenes work well and others stay a bit flat for that reason. The great Stephen Fry has only one scene and he knows how to play it so well, that you miss him in any others.
It can't be praised enough that young people might watch this fairy tale story while struggling with their fear and the pressure to come out and stand to their own sexuality.
It might help them to realize that it's not only their sexual orientation that counts, but even more their ability to spread love without any obstacles.
I am sure there will be countless serious heart attacks or brain strokes in the field of fundamental Republicans, but this is no loss anyway.
