The acting was not really the best out there (at least Seth looked good, that kinda helped), the music was, well, just imagine elevator music and you have it down. Some of the lines and situations were really fake and not exactly great, but this is still a good movie. the message it tries to portray is an amazing one and it is really heartwarming and a tear jerker. If you like to see movies about young boys coming out and the hardships they face all the while then this is a must see. Overall it is a movie I'm OK with adding to my collection. The problems that Seth faced because of his parents really came out of nowhere and didn't really fit the movies original goal. Other minor characters made pointless appearances and often ruined the movies atmosphere. The ending seemed a bit rushed. The acceptance from their family should have been extended or at least explored further. You never really find out how David and his (poorly acting) brother made up, or if they even made up at all. Also random plot lines and twists came up into the movie for no real reason, like Jennifer's death. There was no explanation in her character nor any background information on anything regarding the father's pasts. Although it somehow allowed Seth's bro to wallow in pity, Jennifer's death really didn't play a big role at all.There are many things that can be criticized about this movie, yet it holds a nice little place in my heart. "Coming out with problems (especually family problems)" seem to be my favorite kind because along with the romance and happiness there is a dash of angst thrown in to make an even better movie.

Why isn't JF Davis, who played Brian, David's hunky father, listed in the cast? Was it so bad that he didn't want to be associated with the film? I was hoping Brian and Tommy would get together (especially the scene with the wine). That's okay, that is what fantasies are for! I agree with the other commenter about the brother of David, Ricky. He just didn't fit in, and that was not what I would call "acting", unless he was acting as a bad actor.It was just.....Average. I would give it a C+, but strictly for including the gorgeous actor who played Tommy.

I have to feel a bit of sadness for the producers, cast and crew of 10% Productions "And Then Came Summer." I mean, their hearts were all in the right place... they wanted to make a nice, light, coming-of-age story about two boys who, very naturally, fall in love. The idea is sweet, and the intentions are good. The outcome, however, is a vastly different matter. Unfortunately, "And Then Came Summer" falls into just about every trap that face amateur filmmakers face. The script is an unsubstantial mess, with no build, no interesting dialogue and non-existant character development. The acting is really poor all the way around - either totally wooden or completely overdone, often times both in the same scene. The camerawork is attrocious; certain scenes were filmed so ineptly that it literally made the film difficult to watch. The inclusion of Anthony J. Domingues as the younger brother is perhaps the worst casting mistake in the history of Hollywood... this kid looks not a the thing like his father and older brother (was he adopted or something? If so, the script never gets around to mentioning it.) And, most of all, the film's treatment of women is borderline offensive... the caring aunt is a pie-baking marm so sweet that I almost lapsed into diabetic shock, and the brief appearance by the gossipy neighbor is so dense it's nearly laughable. It used to be enough to simply make a "gay movie." But (thankfully) there are more and more films in the gay genre being made. This ups the ante, and slapping together a film like "And Then Came Summer" just doesn't cut it anymore. Budget be damned, a film needs to be ABOUT something. It needs to still be well-acted and directed professionally. And it needs to draw in the audience with a script and characters that are pertinent and revelatory. This films tries, but, sadly, achieves none of these benchmarks. It's too bad... I really wanted to like this film!

This film could quite possibly be one of the worst, written and acted gay feature film in recent memory. The number of Great gay features that do not receive video Distribution in North America (Mala Noche anyone??) Make the release of this appalling feature an even more bitter pill to swallow.
