    Bought reviews create false expectations

    I have watched some awful movies in my time. This is absolutely the very worst I have ever seen. Believe me that's a stretch. Acting seriously? None of these would have made the audition. Stiff dead lifeless! Your pick it's all that and more. Also no gay persons worth their weight, would agree to what this says. I am horrified beyond words. It's utterly disgraceful this was aloud to take up two hours, when 10 minutes would have done. Reviews of 9-10 are obviously the actors and the production company. No story line, no continuity, sound quality equal to singing on the bath. Watch at your own peril of never getting back the two hours, you could have taken your eyeballs out and washed them.

    Disappointing Charmer.....

    Low budget gay themed movie set around Christmas time in Panama. Roy, one of the lead characters, was gorgeous, but the actor playing him was weak at times - a little too monotone. The first half was rather charming and heartwarming, with an unexpected sudden twist. But the second half became unbelievably convoluted, disappointing and unreal. This could have been so much better.....we had ample eye candy and parts of the script were realistically written and acted. Favorite part was when Roy and Victor just came home from signing their contract. They were playful and the scene looked like real people playing real people. Never was there sex crazed human animals throwing themselves at each other like wild dogs and kissing madly as hard as possible. Yep....that's what directors typically show.....so it was nice to see a director trying to stay real at times. After looking at more stills of Michael Nelson, I have to chastise the Director for not showcasing Mr. Nelson more thoroughly and completely throughout the movie. Only once did we get to see an appealing, naturalistic part of Mr. Nelson....during the dance and subsequent breakfast scenes. The rest of the movie should have built upon showcasing the lovable personality and visual aspects of Nelson. Epic failure.....even if Nelson had some acting weaknesses.

    Fantastic film

    I like this film so much. When it is about friendship it is so fantastic. Always a fan of these kinds of movies! The artists are so lovely.

    An Epic Movie of Unconditional Love ( XMAS Theme)

    The Family Tree is an epic film with landmark moments. Ameer, the cast, and his team, we believe, have a competitive chance for many awards. As its merits can not be denied.

    The Family Tree reflects a current segment of society youth. Who have been brave enough to acknowledge a condition of being that has long been a truth but shunned upon. They call it, being fluid. The ability to love someone completely without judgment and without limits, regardless of gender.

    When a person's "forever essence" is more important than what is limited about them. CBR
