The story is about relationships. Their ups & downs, with emphasis on the latter. Nominally a gay movie it has cross-over appeal as there?s little sex or nudity or even bad language. The characters are happy being gay, which is nice. The issue here isn?t sexuality but finding love and making it work. Are gay relationships the same as straight partnerships or do they need their own rules of engagement? The usual questions about monogamy and the difference between sex & love apply. This movie shows gay relationships are the same as straight ones with similar pressures and mistakes, the key to love & happiness openness, honesty and trust. If you don?t expect too much, you might get something from it.
