Starts running, trips on a faulty plot device, and falls flat on it's face.

Back Soon, is a not so typical low-budget gay themed movie. Written and directed by Rob Williams, Back Soon tries it's best to throw a creative wrench in the usual gay-love story; sadly it's ends up a confusing and silly mess.
The co-main character, is what drew me to see this film. Gil is portrayed by Matthew Montgomery; having seen his decent/good performance in the good low-budget film "Gone But Not Forgotten" I had high hopes for this film.
Back Soon, starts out well; two men, Logan(Windham Beacham) and Gil(Montgomery) are straight men with pasts they're trying to overcome, who oddly enough develop feelings for each other. This is the best thing about the movie. It's a welcome break from the straight/sexually confused lead, dealing with his attraction with a confident gay character. The chemistry between the two actors is good and the acting is decent enough; the rare romantic parts in the film are well-directed and worth seeing. Both characters are equally surprised and confused by their mutual attraction, and try to explore their feeling to find the source. This is were the film trips. It clumsily deluges into the supernatural and mystic realm at which it invalidates any real promise the movie had. It' extremely interesting and promising " two straight guys who like each other" idea is lost and this is were i personally lost interest. The writing does little to convince you of it's mystical assertions but rather draws on the viewer's gullibility instead. The film ends poorly constructed and rushes in vain to tie up the loose ends of the shattered plot. Performances by the supporting cast is somewhat poor to plain awful, including the hardly believable, stereotypical, flamboyant gay friend of Gil.( which begs the question, how many straight men w/Gil's past have flamboyantly gay best friends?). By the end it even seems the lead actors find the film ridiculous, as the final scenes are poorly acted and directed.
Overall the film is disappointing. It starts of well, but then loses its promise the plot had. While meager acting talent and basic scene/area construction is expected in low-budget films, Back Soon doesn't have a good enough developed plot to sustain itself. Back Soon defiantly gets points for non-conforming, chemistry between characters, surprising twists, and originality, but is penalized by it's poor execution.
