This film had all the elements to be extraordinary. However the writer, director, and producer copped out with a contrived storyline and an ending that is not credible, but an offense to Gay men everywhere. The Gay lovers in the story could not just be gay and be together at the end, after much histrionics within the family, but one of them had to suddenly, within 3 seconds, discover he is bisexual and in love with a woman, as well as his boyfriend. It would seem having one of the men be in love with a beautiful woman, being bisexual, would somehow make the film more palatable to their audience. There was a lot of talk in the film about having courage to be who you are and to be accepting of others, while the bisexual cop-out is the antithesis of all of that. Today, for some "saying" they are bisexual is a softer way of being gay, a safety net for those who do not have the intestinal fortitude to be who they really are. Handsome talented actors, lovely and talented and actresses who muddle as best they can through a deeply flawed storyline. I recommend you watch the film, but just be prepared for the point when the film becomes takes a 360 turn in 3 seconds. You'll have emotional whiplash. Thanks, Buie
