I do love Charlie David but he always seems to miss his mark as he's once again done with this movie. What troubled me as soon as this movie started was the Father and Son. They both looked the same age, (I actually felt the son should have had the father role). It bothered me throughout the whole movie, who ever did the casting really jumped the shark on those. I've seen many Charlie David movies and I always end up with the feeling that he's holding something back. Once again, if they had an older father or younger son, the movie would have received more stars for a rating, Also, they characters looked a bit too old to pull off the college students.

I have seen a few films on here that got higher ratings than they deserve, but this one is definitely under-rated. I should rate it an 8, but due to its low rating, i am rating it a 10.I wasn't expecting much because of the low rating first, but it was a pleasant surprise.first of all, the image quality is very good, it is clear and sharp. Second, the scenery are so beautiful, breathtaking. i wish that i can live at a place like that forever. the cinematographer should win some awards for what s/he did for this film. the storyline is unique unlike other gay films which mostly deal with people of their own ages. Third, it is almost like a gay version of "desperate housewives".Sometimes, it is a little bit slow. Overall, I enjoyed watching it.Personally, I think that they should have got a better title, maybe some scandalous titles: such as my dad and my best friend, summertime with dad, this title just sound boring, i don't even know what that means. it doesn't sound enticing enough for people to watch it.

Oh brother did this film spice up my Thanksgiving holiday - what an unexpected surprise - my roomie comes in and says "I think there's something good on Logo - it starts in five minutes" That something good turned out to be the movie "Mulligans" and what a knockout performance by Canadian actor Dan Payne who I see at IMDb is booked up through 2011 and well he should because if anyone deserves to be a star it's this guy - he's got it in spades - the very thing that separates the boys from the men - Dan Payne can act with a capital A - and combined with his outstanding matinée idol looks - he looms on the horizon as the next big star and in my book no one deserves it more. The story itself is okay - nothing new here - and the cast is uniformly good but Dan Payne towers over story and cast in such a way that you can't wait to see him in the next scene - Logo alas has a way of cutting films so that they're a mess but thank goodness for Internet shopping because the first thing I did was go online and order the film and you should too.

If I hadn't known any better, I would have sworn it was about 1983-1984 while watching Mulligans (mainstream Hollywood always is a few years behind the times as, apparently, is so much of gay-themed cinema). Upper-middle-class white males in the throes of a Sexual Orientation Identity Crisis. Class and race usually don't figure into movies like this, though I must admit I spent more time wondering what exactly this Dad did that he could not only afford a Porsche, a sumptuous summer home, AND the ability to take off work for what appears to be an extended vacation than I did on, you know, the actual plot. But, since this is a generation AFTER Making Love, etc., we have the added twist of a father and his son's best college bud as unexpected (well, maybe not so unexpected after all...) lovers (well, maybe not lovers, per se, but it certainly sounds better to say that than what is actually the case: a blissful One-And-A-Half Night Stand Gone Horribly Horribly Wrong).It's all too Lifetime Movie for words, with everything played for Maximum Emotional Impact, including a music score swelling to ridiculous proportions (the better to milk that pathos). It's not that it is a bad movie; it's just that it's all been done before. And with more than 20 years of gay-themed cinema now under collective belts, isn't it about time that OTHER stories were told instead of yet another coming out melodrama? Can we at least have a coming out melodrama that is not afraid to explore the *consequences* of said coming out? I would have been far more interested to see what happens AFTER Mr Hottie Newly-Out Daddy drove away than in anything that happened before...
