A Gem

I found this to be a very enjoyable film, and quite touching as well. I was pleasantly surprised by how sweet Kyle's character is later on in the story. I appreciate that they picked good ACTORS and not eye candy like many gay films seem to do. This is a very good "feel good" movie, which can be hard to find when it comes to gay films.

A heartwarming romance

Not everyone will appreciate Jeff London's film making style but I've actually found it refreshing in its straight forward (some would say simplistic) style and earnestness. The actors make the most of what they are given.

Sensitive and touching

I am very picky with my independant movie viewing but after getting past the low budget feel, allowing the characters to develop was fulfilling. Very good movie and takes you to a broke back mountain movie feel but, instead, one more of us can really relate to. Loved it!

revisiting your home town love, and where is he now?

Arizona Sky opens with two teenagers going off on a camping trip, lamenting that they will soon be going their separate ways. They have a secret that they don't want getting out, even when Jake moves away. Then we flash forward to when hottie Jake (Eric Dean) is in the film industry, and needs to get away from it all. And, apparently, he has to take his housemate along... that relationship is a little weird ... he seems to be pretty involved in Jake's life for a housemate. So Jake heads back to his hometown to look up his old buddy Kyle ( Jayme McCabe). There are some holes in the plot, and issues with the script and the directing, but its a cute little story of homecoming. Worth the rental.

Arizona Sky is a neglected treasure

Arizona Sky is a badly neglected treasure of a film which should be short listed with that small handful of gay themed films like My Beautiful Laundrette made in the UK and The Man I Love made in France. Particular kudos should go to the stars Eric Dean and Jayme McCabe for their convincing and visceral portraits of your average confused-conflicted non-gay identified man who loves another man. Far from being poorly scripted and poorly acted, Arizona Sky superbly portrays the confusion and pain of being caught in the terrible place of having to deny one's most tender feelings--and it does so with the actor's silences, hesitations, and awkward moves in hostile environs. Az isn't the land of Oz, but its where real men in real boots have to walk over and over if they are to win their personal honor and live lives of real integrity.

After Heath catches Jake and Kyle in bed, he runs out of the house and Kyle follows him to the truck. Heath is angry, and throws a punch at Kyle. Even though it is obvious that Heath missed Kyle's head, and there is no punch sound effect other than Heath grunting loudly, Kyle spins around violently as if Heath had landed the punch squarely on Kyle's jaw or cheek.
