Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In an early scene the vice-principal goes over Chance's academic history in an interview with Chance and states that he is known to sometimes channel deceased torch singers such as Rosemary Clooney, Dionne Warwick, and Ethel Merman. However, as the movie takes place in the 1980s (never indicated which exact year), the only singer of the three that might have been deceased was Ethel Merman (d. 1984). Rosemary Clooney died in 2002. And, Ms. Warwick is still among the living in 2008. more

I will preface this comment with the fact that this was an indie film and low budget.

That being said, bravo. I was amazed how close the characters in the movie to the aspects of mine, and probably every gay man's, life. Tad and Brett borough the characters to life with such a brilliant portrayal of the outcast and the in-crowder stepping out. I will admit there were a couple times the dialog seemed a bit interesting and/or almost forced, but overall, i would recommend this movie to anyone. The gay aspect is not shoved in your face, so anyone who enjoys teen comedies can enjoy this.
