A noble attempt for a C-grade indie film
This film has an identity crisis with its convoluted writing and screenplay that took away from the films message. The pace was too slow and that awful unbearable score made it more evident. Considering there were 3 novice writers, you'd think at least one of them would have fine-tuned the screenplay. The acting was mainly sub-par/amateurish with the exception of Johnny James Fiore, who was adequate. Others were stale or ridiculously overboard. Leif Rokesh directed this film fairly decent considering it's his first notch in film making, but he would have shined if the editing was better. Granted, this was a low budget indie film, but I feel it could have been much better with a little fine tuning and getting rid of that awful score and soundtrack to elevate it from being bland, into having some or little life. Nevertheless, still a noble attempt for a C-grade indie film. 6/10 from me
Enjoyable ...but weak/flawed script
This is not a LGBTQ movie, but rather an Interesting story about friendship that could have been really good if better effort was made to develop characters and their motivation. Script is VERY MESSY and many things simply don't make any sense! The gay character is so badly written and his story is nonsensical; after a fight w/his abusive father, he directs his anger at the main character (whom he has avoided for years).
I enjoyed watching, but afterwards felt quite disappointed while thinking about the many plot gaps, unanswered questions and awful writing.
