Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

hjames-97822 Tanner Cohen can not sing. Why he thinks he can, I do not know. Why others think he can, I do not know. The director seems infatuated with him. He keeps using him.This dreadful mess lurches and sways its way from one ridiculous scene after another. I mean, how many scenes am I supposed to take that feature singing men in undershorts and or fairy wings? And the songs. Oh God, some of them play out like a Ukrainian funeral march.Look, maybe it's me. I am a gay man--maybe the only gay man--who doesn't get it. I was endlessly tempted to hit the fast forward to spare myself any more. Is it the fact that I find Cohen less than talented and boring? Honestly I don't know. But I'd rather suffer a years worth of bikini waxes than to sit through this monstrosity again.

lovelikewoah3 I ran upon this movie while searching for another,but when i saw the cover and title is seemed appealing -and I'm a sucker for a good romance movie, which this was. i thought it was going to be another cheesy movie that either had heterosexuals constantly stereotyping homosexuals or homosexuals stereotyping themselves, but it turned out to be really great. the acting wasn't horrible, it was an original story line and the singing,along with play was really exciting. what i also enjoyed about it was that it had a solid sense of a love story and that it led to somewhere rather than leaving you confused and having to ask yourself "what was the point of that?" like other movies can do. generally, this movie would be great for anyone. its a kind of movie that you could watch with friends, as a couple or even just by yourself with some popcorn. i would definitely watch this again.

thesar-2 Man…I would use that flower over. And over. And over.Okay. Now that's, well, over, I must say: what a fantastically romantic, musical and powerful movie Were the World Mine was. And this is coming from someone who barely likes musicals (to date and prior to this movie, I've only really took to Chicago, The Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz) or Shakespeare.Yeah, I'm really not into the so-called master Shakespeare's plays/movie adaptations. But a friend of mine convinced me to finally view this "love story" and boy I'm glad I did. It's the best gay-themed movie (or musical) I've seen in years.Sports jock Timothy (Cohen, who apparently runs his own band in real life – The Guts) is influenced by his – AWESOME! (Sorry, gay-moment there) – teacher (Robie) to try out for one of the "fairies" in the school's adaptation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" despite the backlash he'll have from his stereotypical and homophobic teammates. He joins with the boy of his dreams and learns a lot along the way…such as the love potion #9 of sorts.Meanwhile there are some subplots that are not 100% relevant, but entertaining nonetheless. Such as Timothy's mother's new door-to-door career which includes homophobia and more gay bashing across the town.I asked a straight friend of mine that I have regular "straight talks" with to hear the other side of the fence's POV about how rampant homophobia still is. He told me, without hesitation, that it was still out there and strong. This is both sad and depressing. I was overwhelmed in this movie on how MUCH they portrayed gay-bashing and thought that since I rarely see/hear it, that it was actually unrealistic in the film and it's actually going away. So naïve!I hate hate. And I could not belong to any group that consistently ragged on any creed, sexuality, color, race, or ANY group of people. So, I guess I've sheltered myself from the prejudices that not only still exist but are actually encouraged. Ouch.Well, I'm not going to downgrade this movie. If anything, I'll praise it for being a duel fantasy and realistic film. It gives you a nice romantic and fantastic journey through a real life setting using musical segments that are never unrealistic. Much like Chicago, there were reasons behind the "Break out and Dance, Everyone!" sequences. And those musicals are the only ones I like.Okay, as I've mentioned, I am NOT a Shakespeare fan. I won't knock him or his writing – who am I, anyways? – but that said, I'm not familiar with the basic plot of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" though I knew it existed. I found it rather strange that some mystical "happenings" occurred towards the very end of this film, Were the World Mine, such as the aforementioned flower that I would use over and over. Apparently this magical love-dipped flower casts spells to make love happen despite sex and sexuality. Timothy uses, or abuses, this power, with some humorous side-effects and the only cure can be in, well, the climax. Thanks, teach.Though this is really…REALLY…geared to gay audiences, I would highly recommend this extremely light-hearted and wonderfully choreographed film with great songs/music to all audiences. I had very few gripes and one involved the f-bomb in the closing that, to me, was completely unnecessary. This could've easily be PG and left to a broader audience. Nevertheless, if you can get past that (or bleep it for some audiences), this is really for all ages.

MyPokemans I was anxious to go to the LGBT film festival, but I am glad I did. As well as some other titles, Were The World Mine is an amazing film. However, it did have its short-comings. The actors were brilliant, for the most part. Much better than I was expecting. After seeing a few of the shorts at the festival, I really wasn't expecting to be blown away by the cast. They did an astounding job. Even the slightly over-the-top Robie. The music. WOW, the music. I can honestly say that Were the World Mine has some of the best ORIGINAL music for any musical that has come out in a very long time. Tanner Cohen has an amazing voice, as well as the rest of the cast. There wasn't a single person that I thought didn't belong in a musical role. The dancing could have used work. The choreography was very nice, but I there were scenes where I thought "Ouch. It's called synchronization, fellas." The biggest dent in this movie, for me, was the end. I am happy with it, but I think it needed more explanation. It didn't entirely convince me. It was like the spell was still in effect. And that put the biggest damper on the film for me. I can connect the dots on my own, but I would like to be reassured. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Were the World Mine. You won't be disappointed, too much.
