Sell By

This movie goes absolutely nowhere, acting is mediocre at best. Kate Walsh is completely wasted in this movie. My rating of 5 Stars is even pushing it.

Was it the best film ever made? No. But it was a entertaining enough to watch. I actually found myself enjoying it. I wish people would allow themselves to step back from reality a little bit and just enjoy something for what it is. Doesnt need to be overanalyzed

This is one of those films where someone has decided that a coasting relationship that is of little interest to those in it, and of even less to those of us watching needs to be the subject of a bit of shake, rattle and roll. The mundanity of life is beginning to sap the passion from the lives of "Adam" (Scott Evans) and his boyfriend "Marklin" (Augustus Prew) and that's not being helped by the newly invigorated "Cammy" (Michelle Buteau) completely loved-up and the rest of their friends going through their own forms of mid-life crises. Is it possible that all these shenanigans will make them appreciate that what they had was worth fighting for, or will they just serve to point out that you only get one life and shouldn't be afraid to move on when the time comes? At least here we are not looking as the usual white-tooted, gym-baby, characters - there is a semblance of normalcy from the characterisations, but there anything remotely innovative stops. The acting and writing are the stuff of a daytime hospital soap and the stereotypes included could be ticked off from a checklist written fifty years ago by Quentin Crisp. Will they or won't they? I'm afraid I really found the story arc ensured that I didn't much care.

This movie is a delightful comic soaper. My only problem is the plot comes across as choppy and not enough info on the secondary characters. (Think Carl) Plus the house in the woods - how did that figure into the story?

The recurring appearance of the ice-cream truck was brilliant!

I truly love this film. It is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant world we are currently living in. It is full of humour, and it is heart warming in the best sense of the term. It has faults and is a little bit contrived, but it encompasses both love and friendship in a way that it should be for all of us. Scott Evans and Augustus Drew as the central gay couple are realistically convincing, and at times I wanted to reach into the screen and hug them. And around them a cluster of friends who have their problems as they do, and yet somehow they all pull through and without spoilers the ending is magical. There was no explicit sex in it and it was not needed. I watched this after seeing the truly dismal ' Blue is the Warmest Colour ' and it was a relief to see good editing, perfect acting from all of the actors which was distinctly lacking in the above mentioned film. The scene between the two male lovers sitting on a bench facing the Brooklyn Bridge was a major standout and it takes a brilliant director to make that view look bright as new paint. I have a great respect for films that show goodness and a love of life, and this film is a tonic that everyone should see. I repeat; I loved every moment of it.
