This "film" is a mess. Not one nano second it believable. The script is PAINFULLY bad, the acting equally bad, there is no direction, the story is banal and ridiculous and not even remotely human. A sad pile of porridge from beginning to end, it is an utter waste of time and film. Skip this one!

THIS is how bad gay movies have become? Produced on a dime it looks like it cost even less. Choppy editing, bad cinematography, LOUSY screenplay - just jaw dropping bad - one sort of funny performance by a drag queen (HAVE WE NOT SEEN ENOUGH OF THAT???!) the rest of the actors are so amateurish you'd think they dug them up off the street and English was their second language. There IS no direction - it's just scenes that flop along until THE END comes up and you are glad it's over. Too cheap to pay for a real screenwriter, clearly they again dug some homeless guy up off the street and said here, type, and then filmed it. As Spielberg said, "It all starts with the word." If only these people had spent a dollar and got a real writer things might have been tolerable.

What is so sad is that producer Colichman has done some good stuff in the past. But boy, this is really the bottom of the barrel. What happens to these guys? Desperation I guess.

Remarkably well-crafted short film with beautiful cinematography and solid acting across the board. The touching story concerns a young kid looking for his dad and finding him in a startling and moving way. We saw it at a festival in Palm Springs and there were a lot of tears and sniffling in the audience.

The writing is sharp, funny and perceptive and feels very professional - it's not easy to write that concisely and efficiently, it takes a pro. The clean, uncluttered direction gets the job done with no fuss and wastes no time. Editing is very crisp. In short, this short film looks and sounds like a Hollywood studio film, not something made on the cheap by college kids on a lark. Hopefully the full length feature will arrive soon, as it looks like an intriguing film.

Young Petrovski, who plays the kid, is an appealing actor with a terrific look, and could be a find. The other two actors are solid and likable. Very well done.
