When i watched the film i was very shocked!

Although the film is very in-your-face it is still very compelling viewing! There are a few scenes that you may not like but you just could not stop watching it!

With a shocking and unpredictable ending it was a great film, however it may not be for the faint hearted!

I would give it 7/10

Here is a bit of info about the film

Review submitted by Just Me

This is one of those feel-good films that leave you happy at the end but still wishing for more. Beautiful Thing is set in a high rise South London estate and its probably the first Gay teenage love story to achieve mass appeal. Jamie increasingly falls for next door neighbour Ste (Scott Neal of The Bill fame) and we follow the usual battle of coming out in a most heartwarming story.

One scene where the boys chase each other through the forest after leaving their first Gay bar was truly delightful.

I still can’t work out why Jamie’s Mother’s boyfriend got such a bad deal though!

If you like Sean Hayes’ character Jack from “Will and Grace”, you should do yourself a favour and catch Hayes in this romantic comedy that shows you a different side to his acting ability. As Billy, a struggling photographer, Hayes portrays a young man dealing with his feelings for the handsome object of his affection played by Brad Rowe.

The film follows the lead character on his search for love and his attempts to find out if his mysterious attraction is straight or gay. His longing for Gabriel (I guess named for his angelic face) is sad and familiar to anyone, gay or straight, who has fallen in love only to be turned away. This is not a perfect film but worth having in your DVD collection, especially if you are a Sean Hayes fan.

2004 (USA) – on selected cinema release in the UK (aah, the joys of living near an artsy cinema in Oxford…)

Effectively a soft-porn film, but with a very sharp script (too sharp, sadly).
Caleb is straight, but his gay roommate Kyle ‘outs’ him to set him up with Gwen. This backfires when Caleb ends up with Marc (Gwen’s best friend), who Kyle is in love with. So they go on a date, things happen, and Kyle gets peeved, so decides to remedy the situation by trying to set Caleb up with Gwen and himself with Marc. This has disastrous consequences, but everything ends up just fine. Very complicated, and hardly original plot (but it has some interesting twists). On top of this, the script tries too hard to get laughs – each actor delivering a perfect pun or cliché or joke at any opportunity (like being sat in a room with four Oscar Wilde’s).

Ultimately, it’s hard to tell whether to take this film seriously or not. It’s deliberately provocative – all Jewish sentimentalities go out the window with the exchange “Who is that?” (referring to a knock on the door), “Like they said to Anne Frank, why don’t you go to the door and find out?”. On top of this, there is too much attention given to the notion of ‘turning people straight/gay’ for some people’s liking. Some of the acting is awful (particularly Jim Verraros, who plays Kyle) and any message the film tries to get across (mainly that you’re not necessarily out of anyone’s league – even in the gay world) is made hollow by the ridiculous turns in the plot and extreme script.

However, the humour does work quite well at times, and if you try not to take everything too seriously, it’s not a bad film. Scott Lunsford (Caleb) shows promise and is involved in the most erotic scene I’ve seen on the silver screen with Ryan Carnes (Marc).

I’m not a huge fan of this film; it’s too corny and too OTT for my liking. However, it certainly gets the pulse going and (strangely for an American film) has full frontal nudity, so probably not one to watch with granny.

This is a movie that almost anyone can identify with. It’s about 2 high school boys who find they have strong feelings for each other. The movie shows how difficult it is when the truth remains buried, and how stressful things can be when we pretend to be something we are not. The cast all portray their characters flawlessly. This is the best film I have seen which deals with this subject. I wish it had been there for me at an earlier time in my life. This is essential viewing. It shows strength in the face of despair, not just dealing with fear or shame for coming out of the closet.

In a nutshell, this is the story of a reunion of college friends 5 years down the road. The movie begins with a few slices of their college lives to set the tone, and then when everybody is brought together again for their friends’ wedding, old crushes come back to the surface, and secrets come out.

The cast is very appealing and the story is adorable. Soundtrack contains the best of the Partridge Family. Curl up on the couch with your special someone and enjoy this charming film.

The Broken Hearts Club is one of my favorite films … it’s got comedy, romance, drama… everything you need.
Timothy Olyphant is absolutely great as Dennis, and I was glad to see him in a role that isn’t a villain (Scream 2, El Diablo). I’m looking forward to seeing him more.

Dean Cain proved that not only does he have the good looks, but he has the talent to back it up. In fact, the best scene in the entire film takes place between Cain and Kerr Smith. Matt McGrath and Zach Braff both have decent roles, and they play them well. But the real show-stealer here is Billy Porter as Taylor, the drama queen. He provides a lot of the comic relief, and has some of the funniest lines in the movie (“I don’t see why they don’t just let me hit off the tee… shut up bit**es!”… among many others).

I love this because of all the things it is not. It is not another “I’m coming out of the closet and my life is totally f***** up!” kind of movie. Its characters have problems based on something besides being gay. It has a mostly happy ending I could honestly believe.

The best thing is that it is about people. Not just the two handsome gentlemen who are at the centre of the film. Omar’s tit-flashing cousin is memorable as are his other relatives.

Set in Berlin in the early 1980′s this is the story of a sweet romance between two love-struck men from either side of the East/West divide and a sad indictment of the way in which the former East German state stifled the lives of its citizens. The movie is fascinating from an historical point of view alone but the love story holds up well.

The story revolves around a young West Berliner, on a sightseeing trip with his curious American friend, having a chance meeting with a likeable East Berliner and the two instantly falling in love. The movie expertly highlights the problems associated with love across the divide in that time.

The music is dated and the film footage shot in East Berlin and Prague decidedly grainy (due to it being shot without attracting the attention of the authorities there).

Some of the best films by the creative team of Merchant/Ivory were adapted from works of E M Foster. This beautifully filmed movie is a story about a young man who struggles with his sexual orientation and his status in society. James Wilby plays the title character honestly and with dignity as he searches for love, falling for a good friend, Clive, (played by a young Hugh Grant!) and eventually following his heart and falling for a young man of a lower class.
