Too much of everything

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

There are no spoilers in this review mainly because I just couldn't take watching past the first half hour. First off I should say I love films. I love gay films. I am gay and love to watch movies that I can also relate to as a gay man. I watch many films and love all types of films though. Now let me get back to this flop...The opening scene with the main character in bed was good. He is in bed and the audience hears his voice discussing about growing to be fifty years old and the questions one who is turning fifty might ask themselves. Great.Then the next scene is where is just goes bad. The main aging character is talking with his boyfriend about what they will do for his birthday. Its at that point that I just couldn't take it... the fifty year old whines and makes an argument about anything and everything. Great performance? No! Bad writing. A script that just plays into the stereotypes of relationships going sour. I felt like I was watching a bad 60's slasher film with the lines that were coming out of the actors mouths. Horrible. But I pulled through and waited. Next scene... The aging whiner is perhaps visiting his friend who's cousin is visiting but it seems like these two are actually on a date. That was just weird but then the conversation of awkwardness begins. At first it's amusing, even cute but the fifty year old becomes just a annoying egocentric prick and you're dying for the cousin to just tell him to leave. I stopped the film there. Worst writing ever. Worst night ever spent watching a film.

BEST DAY EVER" is a sweet, hopeful, and romantic film about finding love at 50. Congratulations to writer Jeff London, and the wonderful actor Mel England, who plays David, a man going through a mid-life crisis. Will he ever find true love and fulfill his romantic and career dreams when he feels time is running out? The film, based on writer and director Jeff London's own life, is a story about falling in love with a younger man, and the doubts created by the age difference.The lead actor Mel England gives a lovely, nuanced and brilliant performance, and the entire cast is wonderful as well. This is a great independent film.

If you reach your mid life crisis at 50 then you must be pretty immature to begin with. I thought a mid life crisis was supposed to happen at 40. Not in this film, which is basically one big vehicle for attention seeking on the part of the leading actor (an autobiographic character, representing Jeff London, the director of the film).We see this protagonist wallowing in his agony, for way too long, more than 3/4 of the film. I was waiting for the new young love interest to arrive, to stay, and stem the flood of misery that we're subjected to. But the protagonist continues lamenting the past, and the present, and what not. He fishes for compliments from the young guy by passive aggressively mentioning his older age incessantly. I can't stand it when he makes stupid voices or mincing faces and it's supposed to be cutesy, as if the young dude will really be turned on by that. I don't see why the young guy should feel attracted to the protagonist, since it's just all drama and moaning from the get go, and the protagonist ain't that attractive to begin with; he's just a whiny self centered bastard.Don't let the cover mislead you. This is pretty much a one man show of a miserable charmless man who has got a face like a slapped arse in every scene. The charming young redhead doesn't appear very often, despite him, being the best this film has to offer.

I truly enjoyed watching 'Best day Ever'! A Movie, that touches on so many real emotions that human beings face in relationships either with oneself or others on a daily basis. This movie & the actors manage to deliver so much in a dramatic, romantic and comedic way, a story that keeps you in suspense and at the edge of your seat till the end wondering what do they mean about the best day ever? Furthermore, presents a story that triggers in us the desire to wonder what is our Best day Ever?Relationships are relationships whether heterosexual, bisexual, Homosexual or even the relationship we have with family and friends and that includes the relationship we have with ourselves! Worthwhile exploring since #Learning Never Ends! ~Dr. Estella Sneider
