REVIEW Sweet-natured and pure of spirit, Arizona Sky is the romantic story of two high school buddies who reconnect with desire in their hearts. As the film opens, Kyle and Jake are getting together for what appears to be a regular night of “sleeping out” in the desert. The pangs, ache and longing of first love are evident in these two beautiful young men. They eat some supper and then curl up on blankets for an evening of necking in the back of Kyle’s old pickup truck. But it seems that this idyll is about to end as Jake is set to move with his dad to the big city. Fast forward 18 years and Jake is now a movie producer with an over-stressed, loveless existence. After a particularly harsh panic attack, Jake’s best friend urges him to take a break and vacation for the first time in years. It’s back to Arizona where, just maybe, Kyle’s still living. The two now-grown men reconnect and the spark is still there. Kyle is in the closet with his gay desires, but all of his feelings spill to the surface as he and his old friend get to know each other better. With a micro-budget and a nice story to tell, Jeff London’s film will appeal to all of you closet romantics.
This is a story of unrequited love, that was lost and after many years found and united! This is a film of two lives torn asunder by circumstance and time. What is truly remarkable is how this true love, emotional love, never died! This will bring out the water works(tears) but in a truly magnificant way.It has a real lesson to all of us: 'Once you have found him, Build your life around him, Never, ever let him go!' The words from this song speak volumes of this movie! "THE PATH OF TRUE LOVE IS NEVER EASY!" NJMJr!
Wonderful Story

OK, from what I can tell from the other reviews for this film, is that they have never gone home to a small town and tried to re-connect with an old love. This story hit very close to home for me because I have gone back and looked up a friend who I "messed around" with when we were mid teens. It was very awkward and alot of cat and mouse for the first few hours, but eventually we did reconnect.
This film really did an excellent job of showing all the awkwardness of the moments and personalities. At first I thought the actor who played Kyle was wrong for the part, but as the film went on he really grew on me. We all don't grow up and look like Brad Pitt or George Clooney, we grow up and look average.
I was glad that there wasn't a sex scene in the movie just a couple of tender kisses, too many gay themed stories feel the need to have perfect bodies rubbing and rolling around in a bed to make it. Heck in this film we only really saw their chests a couple of times.
The end of the film was excellent and left us with hope that life would finally find these 2 guys the happiness they deserve. Too me this film was very true to life in this ever changing world and not a total fairy tale as most gay films are.

I have just discovered Jeff London and his movies. All are good in varying degrees. They are exciting in their reality. The best thing is that his pictures are getting better with each one he makes. I was lucky, I started with the best first. His basic sensitivity to the Gay world and people in general is fantastic. The latest movie "Arizona Sky" is really great. Sure some of the acting in the earliest films was a little sketchy but it keeps improving. Obviously Jeff has learned and is improving in both his writing and his directorial skills. Keep the films coming!!!

The movie could have been bearable but the accent made it downright horrible. People in Arizona do not talk that way. It's ridiculous.
So Painful

I am an admitted lover of silly, gay romances. I can't help myself. Its just a guilty pleasure. However, try as I may, I could not love this movie.
I mean I understand that these movies don't have big budgets or a large talent pool, but the problems with this film were just too numerous and too basic.
To begin with, the acting is laughable, especially from the actor who played the 'Kyle' character who, for god know what reason, employed one of the most ridiculous 'country' accents I have ever heard. I think he was going for small town but it just ended up sounding like a weird amalgm of Foghorn Leghorn and Forrest Gump. It was just too fake and too distracting and I could not move past it.
To make matters worse though, the beginning scene with the 2 actors playing the younger versions of the characters was actually natural and touching, which just made the whole rest of the movie such a huge disappointment.
The second major problem is that there was a whole lot of nothing going on. The wasn't any conflict or action just a bunch of scenes of the 2 guys with no chemistry looking really awkward and occasionally talking about stuff that happened to them forever ago. Throw in some dumb scene with a homophobic cousin in the last 6 minutes (which I FFWD because it was just too hard to watch) and the obligatory "I can't help who I am" moment and thats the movie. SNORE!
