I remember first watching this with my brother and mother. We were both in the closet at the time (me and my brother). Just try and imagine how awkward it was. Although it was the first time I was sure that my mother was/is gay-friendly. Sad movie though, but I might watch it again.
I am not crazy about it either. I thought that it was because it was so hyped when it came out, that when I went to the theater and saw it, I guess I was a little disappointed. However, I do appreciate that its not a stereotypical portrayal of gay men. It is very sad, too, and is relatable for lots of people.
I've not been able to see it, and I want to. It's rated R and seeing as I have no privacy I have no way of watching it. /sigh
