if you are under 18 you MIGHT like it because it's really a teen story. The plot, conversations and characters are too dull and boring and the movie goes by so slow and full of events we have seen thousand times in movies...it's timid and dramatized excessively in an amateur and empty way...not worth watching at all

Even though I do like the movie, I thought there was a lack of story line there where the characters were on top of each other. It may seem that Charlie likes Tim but then he likes Sebastian. Then he cries to go back to Tim and sticks up for Sebastian when themselves & their friends were having Christmas dinner. I have thought about giving this movie a rating of 8 however, I felt the story line should've run smoothly and not give me a few headaches by trying to find out what is gonna happen next?!!! That's why I'm giving this movie a 6!I also think it would've been better if there were even less characters in this, especially the boys annoying wimpy friends. They shouldn't have been on there the first place, it was just pointless having the three friends on this! Anyways the good news is that it's not the "worst" movie I've seen and the sex scenes were well done. I liked the background too that was set in this movie, the film crew did a good job on that. It's a good movie to watch if you wanna kill time!

Artifice! Disingeuous artifice! Not one meaningful line of dialog. No character development. Spastic "storyline". I couldn't find a reason to care about anyone in this film. They were like cartoons; and not the funny kind. The message is, ostensibly, to see the good in everyone. And that trope resulted in a swing and a miss. Everyone here is depressed and in tumult despite having fabulous lives and wonderful imaginary jobs: Vogue Editor, successful painter, principal pianist of the San Francisco Symphony (a full time position?) - like there weren't a thousand other pianists in SF who could have played the third movement of The Pines of Rome every five years when it gets trotted out to kill the brass section. Memorable lines: "My father's dead. No I lied. He's really alive. I'm sorry I lied about that to you." "Isn't it hysterical when my phone keeps going off during synagogue!" "How can you be like him (the father in prison) when you're more like 'you' than anyone I know". I threw up in my mouth a little on that one.It is breathtaking how shallow and vapid this story and its characters are. I wanted to like this, I really did, but I can only take so much. We get so few gay themed films and we're supposed to grade on a curve because of that. I get it. But, really... I will get skewered here at IMDb for calling bullsh*t on this one. So, let's begin on, 3,2,1, and, go...

Charlie and Sebastian are old friends. Sebastian is emotionally damaged. Charlie seems to have a life and is committed to his friendship with Sebastian.Sebastian has stalled emotionally while Charlie has continued to grow up. Charlie meets a new love interest and this causes a fracture in his friendship with Sebastian. Sebastian is very very needy of Charlie's friendship and Charlie does not want to hurt Sebastian by following through on his new found love relationship by having to totally leave Sebastian.The fact that each character is gay is not made into a factor with this story. It's just fact. The story is all about friendship, commitment, and the love of two friends - not two lovers. One friend is weak and confused, the other is strong and wants to get on with life but his conscience and friendship with poor Sebastian is a stumbling point with Charlie.The characters are wealthy and spoiled. Sebastian's needy personality will get on your nerves but the plot works and you begin to care about Charlie as he is a nice person who is dealing with issues that have a direct impact on his life and future.
