Say Yes

Haven't seen a little indie like this that I've enjoyed this much in a long time. Kudos to: 1) Great acting 2) Great writing 3) A very interesting plot/story 4) The organic feel of the evolution of the story and characters.

I'm particularly in love with the character of Lily (Leah McKendrick) - she is outstanding. Both of the male characters, Beau (Patrick Zeller) and Caden (Matt Pascua) are excellent, but Lily steals the movie.

If I had anything to grouse about it would be that the story seems a little contrived at points (even with the organic feel I mentioned earlier), especially with the direction of the relationship between Beau and Caden. But hey, with Lily's force of personality and the central struggle of the story I bought it the first time through, so it works.

It could also be a little tighter in terms of directing. Otherwise it's a gem and one of the best gay films of the last several years. Thank you Stewart Wade, thank you actors one and all - really appreciate this work.

Nobody should care if the unique plot in this movie is a bit far fetched. The script, acting, cast and production values made up for it at every turn. Though the subject of the movie, terminal cancer, is morbid, the movie was more charming than sad. Beau, the husband of dying Lily, possesses a handsome, wholesome manliness all wrapped up with sensitivity, kindness and sexiness, that any self-respecting gay guy would wish they had a similar hubby. Happy ending....loved it!!!! Need to see more like it!!!

This is one of those stories that when viewed on paper, shouldn't have worked, but in the case of this film, it worked quite well. Credit goes to the actors involved, especially the female lead. She was totally convincing. Eight stars well earned.

What I liked about this film was that has a message and to be specific, this message is summarized when the sick wife talks with his partner about Stigmas and what is defined by Love and hetero sexual behaviors. For me it was just the beginning to open a big hope to understand that Love does not distinguish gender or orientation but only unconditional attachment for one to the other! Acting was ok (Not the best) but What the Director wanted to show was primarily met on this movie! Congratulations! I enjoyed it!

OK, it's a very unusual subject. Some people may easily find the whole movie ridiculous beyond belief.

But if you can open your mind to just listening to the characters and trying to empathize with what it might be like to be in their situation, you might learn something. And even if you can't, the writing has some very good moments; there are some truly good lines. :-)

In all, this wasn't the worst way to spend an hour and a half. Better this than watching "Burlesque", to be sure.
