Review

Charlie David (Dante's Cove: The Guilty Pleasure Collection) is taking the controls of his career as the star and writer of this gay update of The Graduate. Tyler (Derek Baynham) brings his college buddy Chase (Charlie David) home for the summer to hang out with his surprisingly hot dad, Nathan (Dan Payne), and mom, Stacey (Thea Gill, “Queer as Folk”). They have the picture-perfect, All-American life going on here in quaint Prospect Lake. The father-son duo golf with regularity, there’s always a family barbeque and the conversation is straight out of “Leave It to Beaver.” While Chase knows he’s gay, he has never come out to his friend, who tries in vain to set him up with girls. But when Chase comes out to his summer family, the cracks in the family dynamic start to show. Nathan looks with a lusty new eye to his son’s best friend, and when he and Chase are left alone for the night, their mutual passion bubbles to the surface, and clothes are quickly shed. The drama hits a peak as Tyler and Stacey return early and discover the shocking secret about this young dad. Can Nathan remain true to himself and keep his family together?

Sparkling dialogue, a fast pace and lots of screen time for the ridiculously gorgeous Charlie David keep this indie compelling throughout.

Forgot to add to my previous review: Dan Payne has got to be the most gorgeous specimen of man I've ever seen on film!

Excellent Drama!

This was a remarkably candid portrait of a family with an underlying secret. It's almost reminiscent of the film Doing Time on Maple Drive. One earlier reviewer asked "Why is it that so many gay movies end in sadness? Either someone commits suicide, or someone is left all alone, or everyone goes their separate ways. Is it too much to ask for a happy ending once in a while?" To answer your questions;
So many gay movies end this way, because gays to this day due to American society's ridiculous insistence in holding on to the notion that being gay is a choice, feel the need to live their lives closeted for fear of rejection. Every gay coming out story doesn't have a fairy tale happy ending. Furthermore, the paint that unacceptance of a loved one's sexual orientation causes is something that needs to be depicted realistically.

Better acted than most gay stuff...

I actually liked this film. There were some weaknesses in the acting (the straight boy is a bit over the top), but, overall, the acting was believable. Direction was good and the story was well told - if really familiar. Have a weakness for Dan Payne... truly a beautiful man and a capable actor. Better than many you see in most 'gay cinema'. I will probably watch it again.

another sad story
