Even though this 'Brokeback Mountain' wannabe has its heart in the right place, it falls short on so many levels. Michael Moore, 'Clay Farmer's' director needs to go back to writing school. He 'Californiaizes' his awful script giving the actors very little to work with. Their west coast vibe actually helps to derail this cinematic junk. We've seen this before, boy meets boy, falls in love, and must endure the bigotry, verbal and physical, of the haters. Friendships and families are fractured. However, the predecessors such as 'Brokeback' and 'The Wedding Banquet' dealt with similar themes, but were far superior to this Cali nonsense. I gave 'Clay Farmers' two stars because I feel sympathy for the actors who tried their best. It's regrettable that they hitched the professional wagons to Michael Moore and this talentless writing project.
