Diagonaldi Very well executed

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

ekeby I say that because it's unavoidable: this is white bread bland. But it's done fairly well for what it is.It's honest and upfront about what we should expect: the main character talks to us, comments on his life, where it's going etc.People are right to say this is like modern John Hughes movie. Which, I hasten to add, were pretty much consider s**t when they came out except for their target audience: pre-teens and young teens. This film is for that same demographic.So I get why some people are really unhappy with it. No, of course it's not realistic. It's entertainment. And some of the entertainment is good, if stereotypical.If you been observing gay cinema as it evolved post-Stonewall--as I have and yes, I'm that old-you're more likely to give this a pass because IT IS equivalent to a John Hughes movie. Which, I will say again, adults considered s**t at the time. I think these serve the same purpose for the gay community as Hughes' movies did for straight kids in the '80s. Why shouldn't our kids get white bread formulaic rom coms too? We should. This is one, and for what it is, it's fine.

bob_fnord This movie really tries to be progressive. But adding a gay lead-character doesn't change the fact, that the writing is lazy and the acting is unconvincing.. Most of the characters are just teen-movie cliches talking in phrases. At no point in the movie so I feel like investing any emotions in any of characters. Lest of all the main character, Alex, who is really not that likable. To quote the movie: " You have your head up your ass so much; it's depressing"..Adding the gay layer to the story doesn't add much depth; it merely makes it seem like a 90's after-school special about 'It's okay to be gay'.. And the movie's view on queer people seems really stereotypical... It's like they are trying to be progressive, but really they are just reinforcing the gay stereotypes.

tamer-39821 The end was very disappointing and annoying, I thinkd he will get back to her girl not be gay , it's ok to be gay but the Problem is I didn't see that coming, the end is very disappointed.

travisbruce-48759 What I thought would just be a "Love, Simon" cruddy knock off, turned out to be a grittier, little indie film in it's own right. Well acted, well directed. Over all, impressed with capturing gay teens in the 21st century. If John Hughes were around to make a gay teen angst rom com now, I think it would probably look something like this. (With better music, of course) ;)
