Loved the book series. The characters and story hold a very special place in my heart. That being said, I feel like this adaptation was botched. Mostly by the cringe-worth, heavy-handed acting. I would have loved to see this as a miniseries under better direction with some bigger names attached to star.

I'm always in for a nice gay-themed movie. But this one is unfortunately of questionable quality. It's basically a romcom, but of the most sentimental kind, never exceeding the level of simple soap-opera. As a curious extra the cast, at several, mostly odd and awkward moments, out-of the blue starts singing, by way of some sort of musical comment on the goings-on. It simply doesn't fit the story, the music itself is hardly appealing and Grant Davis is rather unimpressive as a singer.

The story is the weakest link in this movie. Main character Ben goes over the years through a series of repeating romances with two lovers, every hick-up is blown into huge emotional proportions (with according epic background music) and when at last there is all of a sudden a really dramatic life-event, it's almost brushed aside within 5 minutes to give the movie it's apparently needed happy end, that by the way with me left a rather cynical impression.

I liked Davi Santos and Ben Baur, both acted fairly well, but I had some trouble with Grant Davis as main character Ben. It was a mystery to me how these two great guys - the one exotically handsome, the other sweet and loyal - apparently were fighting over this sulky and grumpy guy who slouched depressively through most of the movie and wasn't in any way attractive or even sympathetic.

All this, along with an overlong duration of almost 2 hours, made watching this movie a long and rather tedious experience.

I am a gay man with no talent. Just opinions.

In my opinion Grant Davis and Davi Santos worked hard with what they had to work with. Supported by Ben Baur and Ajiona Alexis gave a valiant effort . This movie struggled under bad direction,major technical fails and writing that even good acting couldn't rise above. I watched this movie 3 times. After the first watch I read the other reviews. I hate to agree with other writers. In this case they had a point.

The Staging of the movie. First using live action and cutting to a sound stage for music inserts could have set a tone if it was consistent. The problem here too was technical the sound and lighting were so inconsistent. I think Grant Davis has a good voice. Was it held back by technical reasons? I just had a feeling there was more power there. We saw a glimpse with the duet by Grant and Ajiona Alexis on the plane.

There was a nice story here I think. One of hope. The thing I believe in that Love will find a way. It made me wish I came out in the 2000's instead of the 80's. I think the writer of the book the movie was taken from should have used the control built into these deals and put his foot down.

Personal message to Grant Davis and Davie Santos. I will search for things you are in!

David Berry..well there is always commercials!
