Getting It

It is quite a sweet story, and it doesn't come with all the stereotypes and cliches.

No spoilers! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these characters and watch them change and grow. The story is simple, but the emotions are complex and deep. The music and humor are a nice bonus! I really felt connected to the main character (played by Tom Heard), and loved the supporting cast, as well. Sweet story, great cast!

Not my typical genre (romance) but it was my fiancé's pick so we gave it a shot. Got hooked after the first 10 minutes. Solid story and great songs, really enjoyed it!

Jamie (Tom Heard) is a cabaret singer who can't bring himself to public singing anymore because of his breakup with his boyfriend a year ago who was also his artistic partner. Jamie always puts himself first, when confronted on his selfishness by his bestfriend Elaine (Sharron Bower) he finds out, it is the same reason his boyfriend left him. To make amends and prove it wrong he took upon himself to help his young lost neighbour Ben (Donato De Luca) with whom he had a connection, which soon develops into something more over a weekend trip. But as the relationship grows Ben finds himself on the other side of what he was warned about Jamie, which hurdles thier bond bringing Jamie back to square one.

The movie uses a modern approach of a love story. The writing is good. There's a poem on the end side which Ben presents to Jamie, it's really good. The way in which the movie highlight one's ability to open themself to the possibility of love, of letting someone in is appreciable.

A lovely, touching, funny movie with a terrific cast. Great writing and acting. Definitely a must see!
