  VERY Funny
  
  Don't let the gay subject matter put you off - this isn't a gay film full of in-joke about being gay as much as it is about Italian families.

  Sweet and pleasant enough!
  
  Pleasantly fun. The main boy is hot. Just a sweet movie. Acting was okay, and i mean just okay. Coming out to an Italian family seems such a fiasco.....it was a... read more »

  Not Shakespeare But Enjoyable Just The Same
  
  I watched this straight after L.I.E which was a bit heavy, so maybe that's why this seemed to be so light and uplifting. It wasn't packed to the rafters... read more »

  Fairly predictable but enjoyable enough
  
  At first I didn’t enjoy this film at all: the camply overdramatised style, delivery and design were all off-putting, the blend with realism seemed at times... read more »

  Amusing film - not to everyones taste
  
  Amusing film about the dilemma a young gay man faces in a Canadian Italian environment. Some good laughs but drags on a bit.

  so-so
  
  Not a bad film. Lacks character development but some good lines. The parents are good - the married gay guy tended to over-act.
