Great coming out movie, 9 January 2003
9/10
Author: Carmilla-3 (carmilla5@hotmail.com) from Melbourne, Australia

OK so I'm sappy, I loved this movie, as angst ridden as it was. My coming out wasn't nearly as bad, but I'm sure others have it even worse. I loved the acting, the cute music, the gorgeous school teacher and Stockard Channing's acting. Every time I watch this movie I enjoy it more, Ellen Muth is also a great little actress. And at least she didn't go back to a man like most lesbian movies made for mainstream do. Be out and proud of who you are!
