This is one of the worst attempts at motion picture I have ever seen. The melodrama is one thing, but this movie oversteps the bounds: I've never seen a movie more comprised of hugs and tears than this one. This is an embarrassment to any gay or lesbian idea about the world. I cannot believe GLAAD supports this movie.
