Shoulder Dance

I loved the amalgamation of the beautiful camera shots, talented cast, and story line that was equal parts, sexy, funny, and endearing. By the end of the movie, you'll identify with one of the characters struggles, as well as yearn to live in the dreamy beach house. It's not at all a thriller, but still leaves you holding your breath, and bitting your nails at certain points. The whole production feels very reminiscent of Tom Ford's movies to me. Every scene, sound, movement, and lighting change is a vibe. This is a newer director for me, but after watching The Shoulder Dance, I want to check out more of Jay Arnold's films. Go watch! This was the perfect move to laugh, cry, and think fondly of yesterday. :)

I feel so bad for Matt Dallas. He's a great actor in a terrible movie. I could see how uncomfortable he was in this film alongside bad actors, bad director, bad script and story, bad editing, bad photography. Matt Dallas was on a hit TV show and now casting him in an amateur film production. It is so sad. I would like to be a famous producer to cast him in productions of his level and with A-list actors. It was very painful to watch this movie. I had to fast forward to get to the really point of the movie but there was none. I hurt to see Matt Dallas struggling to do his best to save this movie. When his boyfriend got naked in front of him the funny moment was that Matt didn't even look down 😂😂. I think in his mind was "Blue, don't get mad at me. It is just a movie so we can pay our chicken coop. " 😂😂😂

Funny, refreshing, and heartfelt. Definitely worth a watch. The story is relatable but doesn't feel like a retread, and the performances definitely pop. Samuel Larsen is a comedic standout, and Maggie Geha's Lilly is a breath of fresh air; she feels like the kind of friend you can only hope swoops in out of the blue to surprise you. Overall, it's a wistful story about love, friendship, growing up, and holding on to what's the most important to you. Plus, it's a ton of fun, and the joy onscreen is infectious. It's hard not to fall in love with these characters and see why they love each other too. Glad it's available on streaming platforms now; check it out.

This well produced and directed movie entertains in a big way....the story not only allowed me to reminisce about my party days (which was one of my happiest chapters of my life), but tells a compelling story of childhood friends.

"Love, Laughter, and Friendship shine in this heartwarming film that beautifully explores the deep bond between two friends. The story not only celebrates the joy of self-discovery, but also highlights the enduring power of genuine connections. With stellar performances and a touching narrative, this movie is a testament to the universal themes of love and acceptance that resonate beyond boundaries."

A refreshingly real and well written movie, perfectly casted. It's not surprising this movie is getting the attention it deserves. Wonderful film that shouldn't be missed.

I watched this for ages trying to recall where I'd seen Rick Cosnett before then I remembered he was Grant Gustin's love rival in "The Flash". Well, here he is more in the "flesh" as he turns up on the doorstep of his long estranged school friend "Ira" (Matt Dallas) with his lively girlfriend "Lilly" (Maggie Geha). Up until now, "Ira" has lived quite happily with boyfriend "Josh" (Taylor Frey) but is reluctant to commit to anything more formal. Now, with their unexpected houseguests, the booze starts to flow, the weed gives way to the molly and boundaries start to blur as truths start to rear their ugly heads. At times there's quite an engaging chemistry between Dallas and Cosnett, but the unfolding scenario is a little too contrived and the storyline just starts off weakly before going nowhere fast as the predictability lives up to our limited - and disappointing - expectations at the conclusion. It's sad that it has to reinforce some rather fickle stereotypes along the way, too and in the end it offers little more than an excuse to watch some daytime eye-candy take part in something that looks like it has been sloppily edited for ad breaks. Most of it is filmed in an haze and there's simply nothing new here, sorry.
