PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Suradit The idea of the "perfect" older son dying and leaving the parents and friends with the supposedly less than perfect second son, is hardly original … Stand by Me, for example, and the sibling rivalries in various James Dean movies. Having the second son burdened with a genuine disability is probably not that common. Having the younger disabled son cope with the posthumous outing of the older son as gay is, I'm pretty certain, a unique approach to the often told tale of a teenager coming out. The story concept is the best thing about White Frog and the result has failed to capitalize on the potential.The attempt to link the tale of the Vietnamese coconut frog to the character(s) in this movie seems a bit of a stretch … possibly a (failed) attempt to introduce an intellectual flavor of the inscrutable, exotic Orient to a movie that is really about a bunch of upper middle class Americans. Since none of the cast looks especially Vietnamese, the connection is even more tenuous. Maybe to some eyes "they" all look alike.Booboo and especially the actors who played the friends and secret lover of Chaz were sufficiently charming to make the movie enjoyable … the rest of the characters, not so much. Through most of the movie the parents were annoying and heavy handed caricatures of parents behaving badly. The therapist who talked to Nick seemed to have modeled her character after a nagging Jewish or Asian grandmother who practices no-nonsense tough love. It didn't come across very well.The occasional setting and final scenes in a community center run by a lesbian, funded at start-up in part by the deceased Chaz and whose members are oddly supportive for Nick, who they couldn't have known very well, was a little too much like something out of an old Judy Garland. Mickey Rooney movie … or even worse, an episode of Glee.There were PC messages aplenty, the main one being that everyone should accept himself and others as they are, something that most young people are portrayed as being better at than the anal-retentive older generation ... although given the amount of catastrophic bullying in schools, that seems a myth. As an Afterschool Special it probably needed to be fairly blunt in making its points. There's a lot to be said, however, for subtlety in plot and performance, largely missing in this movie.Of course people want to be kind when dealing with kids coping with handicaps and sexual identity crises and rites of passage, and I suppose there were a few moments when tears could have been shed. The subject matter sympathy vote aside, this movie was enjoyable due mainly to some of the actors involved but, despite all that it had going for it, it was still a disappointing result.

pc95 Directed by Quentin Lee with heavy handedness, "White Frog" is a complete dud with an intriguing title. Unfortunately the title is where anything interesting ends. The dialog has no subtlety, and the direction is a failure. Scenes are over or under acted with regularity, and the dichotomy of greed and giving is sickeningly simplified and black-and- white. The preaching screams out in scene-after-scene - community service, money, friends, parents. In one scene we are supposed to believe a professional psychologist would actually floss during a session. The complete dysfunction, spectacle and melodrama is putrid, especially from the parents. Who sponsors this Crud? Booboo Stewart's acting was cringe-worthy. Like watching a bad high school film project. 3/10 If you're interested in a better movie about Asberger, check out "Adam". Much better acted and directed.

EricHutton Undoubted this is the best gay movie I've ever seen in my life and believe me I've watched quite a few of them over the last 52 Years.What's making this movie special is not only the acting of the young man playing the role of a disabled younger brother; all other actors as well are doing a wonderful job in portraying their characters.No matter what race, religion or believe it meets everyone's difficulty in showing who and what you really are. We're just human and that's all there is to it, not more and not less.We're all week inside of us, but at the same time we can all be strong if we strive for it and finally find the courage to be it.Allow me to make a final remark. I've never written a review, but decided to do it due to the fact that I was so impressed!

alison1963 Nick Yung has a brother whom he adores, and he has Aspbergers. He comes from a seemingly perfect American/Oriental family, but perfection's not all it's cracked up to be.On the death of his brother, life starts to unravel and he slowly uncovers the truth that lies just beneath the perfect veneer of his life.Nick conquers his differences and goes on a journey to discover that not only do people keep secrets, but that uncovering those secrets can set you free and make you whole.The acting in this film is terrific, especially from the young man who played Nick so well. It's a lovely little film that made me smile and cry in all the right places.Well worth a viewing.
