 Liked The Happy Ending Best September 6, 2008

This movie isn't the greatest, but for a gay movie it's not that bad. There was a lot of sex, but the one full frontal scene turned into a rather strange public service announcement. I enjoyed the happy ending the best. The dynamic of the his relationship with the sweet black guy from the park was a little too stark of a contrast with his life. You can easily imagine them breaking up about a week after the movie ends. The deleted scenes/outtakes were funny, the best one is where an actor tells everyone a joke.
The lead actor is very good August 21, 2008

I think people are WAY too hard on this movie. It deserves more positive reviews particularly because of the lead actor, Nick May. He does a fantastic job creating a character who you can really sympathize with. He's this young kid who gets tangled up in a 3 way relationship with two older men (believe me, there are lot of old guys out there looking for that) and he realizes that nobody really cares about him. The two older guys go to visit their family and ditch him on Christmas. The boy ends up finding himself turning to sex just to get some affection. He tells his hookups he's going to kill himself just hoping that somebody will care enough to tell him not to do it. I really felt bad for this character. His parents disowned him and his sister is horrible too. The actor does a brilliant job of making this character feel like he's all alone in the world.
There are a couple of horrible scenes in the movie that should have been left out. One involving a Santa and Mrs Clause jumping around and another involving an orgy. The orgy was just exploitative. Probably to try and get more people to watch the movie. Which is a shame because it takes away from the serious subject matter.
Anyway, I hope Nick May finds more work because he's a really good actor.
