I know it`s out there. Just show it to me. That's it. That's what I want.

Well, it's very obviously a stage play. Far too wordy, but heartbreaking nonetheless.
feels like a waste of the two leads and this really steps in it a bitsy at times but there's something charming about it, still. maybe it translates better as a play.
i think this was the first lgbtqia centric or at least related film i had ever seen. i remember seeing this on one of the premium movie channels a year or two before i had fully realized i wasn't straight and i fixated on it for awhile. glad it didn't take me too long to stumble upon some better stuff.
why cant we have fun movies about gays holding each other hostage for unhinged and outlandish reasons instead of boring psas like this
James Marsden and Scott Speedman engaging in playful banter and heavy petting for an hour and a half. Sounds like gay heaven to me.
When this movie is good, it's REALLY good! So good that it outweighs the bad. The restraint on the reveals and the narrative placement of the twists are very impressive. The movie knows exactly what it wants to say, takes its time to do so, and does it in a gripping way. And the acting... I can only imagine what it must have been like to watch the play live.
james marsden delivers a pretty powerful monologue near the end that I liked enough to watch three times over. and while 95% of this takes place in one setting it did a good job of building interesting character and had me intrigued as to what would happen with every passing minute.
A solid and compelling drama/thriller about sexual responsibility. You definitely get the sense that it was based on a play, and I think it probably would have benefited from leaving that element fully intact. The additional cut away scenes and flashbacks were an unnecessary distraction. The story addresses many crucial aspects of safe sexual activity that affect both gay and straight individuals, and deals with a lot of tough questions in a very compelling and thought provoking manner. I was slightly disappointed however, that it seemed to play a little too heavily into some gay stereotypes that it could have avoided or otherwise worked to counter.
the plot is simple but this movie is better than what i expected...that scene where dan ranting about ✨sexuality is a spectrum✨ yeah so true
James Marsden has such a fascinating career because he has played such iconic roles, like Corny Collins and Cyclops, even been in critically acclaimed television series such as Westworld and Dead to Me, but he still managed to work this into his filmography… a film that looks like it was shot on an Nintendo DS, inside a Ziploc bag, where he shits himself.
