This movie is about a guy coming out to his friends. The best part of it is how realistic it is portrayed. His friends may find it weird to some point (not that being gay is weird, but that the friend they knew for many years is) but they know that he is the same person and try to be there for him. This movie is a true friendship movie.Acting is really good. You can feel the true friendship chemistry between them and what they may be feeling. The anxiety of Adam, the confusion and wish to be a good friend from the rest. There are also fun moments, mainly from Adam's dating. The guy who pretended to be another one, the Scarface guy, the guy whom he scared away with farting. Then there is a neighbor who is worried about Adam's eternal damnation and gets a priest. It is a good movie. My only complaint is that there seemed to be no real plot story. But no matter what it was good light entertainment.

I had seen lots of gay themed films, but this one was different and way better I felt. This was not about the romance, sex or the social struggle, it was about the friendship and nothing else. When one of four friends reveal that he's a gay, how the remaining three reacts to it and what are all damages done to their longstanding friendship is the film.I don't know any of these actors, but I liked their performance. And for the first timer, the direction was not bad which was done in just 17 days. Obviously not a greatest film of the year or the best gay film ever, but it had some great moments. A simple story about the four ordinary friends, and their unexpected situation to deal with. Something they're not used to it, but trying their best to adapt forth in the life.Only occasional use of a few obscene lines, so the film is safe to watch for all. It avoids the some usual gay related cliché, and provides with a fresh storyline. The laughs were not big, especially it avoids the offendable joke topics the most. So overall a decent comedy. For its low budget, the film actually looked like a big production film with a quality narration. Maybe you're not interested in the gay films, but if you do, then don't miss this little gem.6.5/10

I was really looking forward to this film and the first few minutes seemed promising, but then, what felt like hours later, I was actually glad to see it end. The problem was that it was just so darn boring. The plot itself was straightforward and is one that anyone who watches LGBT themed films has seen several times before. Basically, a gay guy comes out to his childhood friends who wrestle with how to be good friends despite their discomfort. So of course, they all laugh and cry and love and learn important life lessons and blah, blah, blah...In addition to being a recycled concept with basically zero originality, the use of stereotypes was pretty heavy handed. I was particularly insulted by one scene where, after the group of friends finally seemed to have turned a corner with his sexuality, the two bestest of the four best buddies are sitting on a couch after a night of drinking. Next thing you know the gay guy tries to kiss his friend claiming that he thought his straight friend was trying to kiss him. WTF?!?!? That scene undermined the entire film. Suddenly this guy who has sworn up and down to his friends that they are just his friends tries to kiss a guy he knows, and I mean he KNOWS, is interested in women, specifically because the gay character's friend is torn between his friend with benefits and a woman with whom he has a genuine connection. That to me was insulting to a lot of people and totally unrealistic.There was also a scene where the protagonist has finally had a successful date with a guy from online after a series of what were supposed to be hilarious misadventures (FYI, they weren't that funny). So, our hero is making out with prince charming, but then he farts, then he farts again; after that prince charming just ditches him without a world. Not only did that come across as gross; it was kind of insulting. Are gay men really so shallow and strange? Have the writers never passed gas on a date? The various dating vignettes were pretty unpalatable overall, but that one was cringe-worthy.Honestly, I can think of probably five other films that are all but identical to this one, only difference being that they were better. What made matters worse was that this film had some decent actors, they were simply wasted on a movie that was formulaic and way too drawn out.

This film is possible evidence that producers have invented a computer program that roughly approximates how Canadians interact with each other. There's no reason to watch beyond the 15 minute point, but I did. I'm sure that in the vastness of the cosmos there's at least one person who could muster a barely audible chuckle at the re-hashed, tired buddy-com dialogue. That person deserves your absolute disdain. I cried during the film only once. During the end credits, when I learned there was actually a director involved. This film needs to be converted to a format that's impossible to watch, and then buried in a time capsule that's only ever unearthed when sick, cancer cats run out of places to urinate.
