Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Kirpianuscus ...not exactly better but more profound. it is one of many Hallmark style films and that fact is not so bad. a small comunity. a meeting. a friendship. and that is all. sure, the spice of not ordinary relation between lead characters makes the difference. but it is just a not significant detail. it is obvious than its target is real precise. and this is the start point for define it. not impressive performances, not the legendary love story, not a story different by an easy sketch. short - best option for modest expectations. and, maybe, this is the lead virtue of it. because it is one of refuge films in which a conservative public could imagine the correct parteners of relation and the other part could imagine details to a story who give more credibility to a so familiar story. so, a comfortable film.

hjames-97822 Frankly, I just liked it.Oh it's in need of a lot polish. The acting can be stilted and sometimes sophomoric. But you have to give these actors credit for doing all they could with dialog that is, in places...well...awful. As others have pointed out, the sound levels are bad in spots. But overall for indie stuff this is above average.I will confess I am a fan of Matthew Montgomery. This is one of his earliest roles and he's a winner, as are several of the others. He has a look that makes it easy for him to play a multitude of character types.We are saddled however, with several cookie cutter characters. The kindly older doctor. (Thankfully, she's quite normal. Not a mentally ill sex researcher a la a certain cable network.) There's the lactose intolerant shrew of a wife, the conservative brother trying to keep the gay boys under control. You get the picture.I had never heard of this film. Bought the DVD at a garage sale. Sometimes, with a DVD I don't care for I just resell them in the internet. But this one is a keeper. Some rainy afternoon I'll settle back in the mountains with Ranger Drew and Mark and we'll have a pleasant hour and a half. I love a happy ending.

jimbenben Several comments mention being drawn to this movie by the photograph of the two men embracing that is shown in the poster and on the DVD cover. But those are not the men actually in the film, are they? I mildly enjoyed this movie, but then I watched it again with the audio commentary from the director and actor (the one who played Mark), and I felt sort of insulted. It's one thing to talk about their shoe-string budget, which leads to numerous "bloopers" like props lying in the background and even another film production crew shown filming at the same hospital location. But when they talk about the weak story-line and writing (for example, laughing about the mysterious "amnesia" that is at the heart of the story), then they've lost me. Low-budget or not, they knew they were making junk and are disrespectful of their audience.

rjlafont The idea, premise, twists and turns of this movie are great. The actors are beautiful and I suspect are good. However the best actor born can't shine when given lines that haven't been fleshed out. If this movie had spent a few more dollars on the screen writer it would have been a good one. Others have already commented on how horrible this movie is but I would like to comment otherwise. This is a perfect picture to show at an advanced USC film class, after they have learned what to do and now need to be shown what not to do.My primary objection is still with the screen writer. It seems as if he/she took the book and cut and pasted it into the script. Almost every scene has no congruity or relevance to the previous one. The actors were given lines that you or I might say in real life, we are not interesting people, we need talented writers to transcribe our thoughts into words for the screen or stage. I feel bad saying that and am sorry for upsetting the screen writer but he/she needs to learn.Screen writing is a talent more artistic than the actor's craft. If the words don't pull emotion from the viewer the actor can not. I also blame the director and producer of this atrocity for not pulling out, they ought to know better. This story can and should be told again with the realism injected with good writing and production. I have not seen the actors before or since so I assume that they can act and feel most sorry for them.
