Boy oh boy.... That was pretty bad. They tried. They tried. But they so missed it. Lots of long long long scenes of nothing but talking heads. Secondary characters that really had no place or depth. Shots looked as if it were being filmed on a stage instead of real places.
It was a romance and it wasn't romantic at all. The characters, primary and secondary, had no dimension at all. The pace never changed, never got every exciting. We didn't even get a love scene. A few awkward places where the two main guys took off their clothes and stood around in their underwear, but that was the extent of it. There wasn't any chemistry between the two stars. I guess they were both straight and only in the movie for the money. No growing passion between them. You could see both main actors were trying really hard, but it just mostly came across as if they were giving interviews on NPR. Same pacing.
And the country boy, Kyle (Jayme McCabe), spent the whole time acting like a big wounded puppy and we didn't know why. I can't recommend it. Sorry. And sorry to a crew who obviously tried. Maybe it was like a college project that somehow got to the screen in the GLBTQ hunger for movies?
UPDATE: No. No college project. This is standard Jeff London's faire. And that means fair is the best we're going to get. I saw "Best Day Ever," and it was so bad I gave up halfway through. Jeff? Maybe you need a writing partner. You've got decent ideas but they all fall as flat as flat as can be. How do you get the money to make your movies? I'd like to know because I'd love to get some of my novels made into movies. Or are you just wealthy?
