More Than Only

My biggest criticism is that it's obvious this film was directed and written by a woman. The plot and interaction between the gay leads did not ring true. It felt like a Hallmark movie, and was not at all a realistic representation of young gay men falling in love.

I have just found this gem and was sad to see the overly negative response and lower than average score of this movie. Yes, it's not perfect but it certainly is a good story about coming to terms with yourself, having to put effort into a relationship and finding your own path in life. I have found it a bit overly dramatic at times while others seem to think it's boring or too slowly paced. What I find very insensitive is to say that it's clearly written by a woman because it focuses on things not relevant to men, like please, every person is individual and categorically dividing "men" from "women" is absolutely not okay today that we know more about gender and outdated gender roles. Also it's super unfair to say the lead actors are unattractive because looks are subjective and I'm here for the story not to find a partner myself. Yes, one of them is very egoistic and unsympathetic in the beginning, but also you can see the character development throughout the story, which is really nice. Also, I liked for a change that the film focuses on other things such as forming a bond, trust or the support from friends rather than sex and parties. Plus it has a happy end and a lot of good advise I can take for myself. On top of that, the whole movie is freely available on YouTube, so if you haven't, I strongly suggest you check it out yourself!

It's just too contrived, too melodramatic and overacted for what it is, and the music/singing is just bad.

Long but not so interesting or funny, i try to watch untill the end as if it have something special, it does, with really meaning words, finally i felt the connected from start till end, which pleasant me so i have no regret watching this movie.

More Than Only is like, if Mormons teamed up with Hallmark and made a gay baby. That's NOT a negative thing, it just is what it is. It's the clean-cut, child-like, sweet, (with one monstrous experience, told off-handedly) gay movie you could watch with your conservative parents. As long as your parents aren't like Justin's controlling, mentally abusive father.

My main criticism would be: the dialog and acting could have been a little more natural, but it was a story with a lot of heart which made up for its flaws.
