Another reviewer, very hostile and rather sad or maybe sour, did at least have the grace to say: "I bet these amateurs had a great time making this movie." Yepper, and I had a great time watching it. So it's wacky, so it's over the top more often than it's grounded, but who cares? It's not just an escapist fling - there's a real, common and important story being told here. Not just another gloomy take on identity, confusion, indecision, learning about selves and others, and exactly what we are to them, and they to us, but one full of exuberance. For over an hour I delighted in escaping with them. The pace never slackens, and I didn't stop laughing or gasping at the sheer inventiveness of their take on investigating the nature of homosexual adolescence-getting-to-adulthood, and the various personas that embody it. No spoilers, I promise: you just get in there with this gang and work out where David ended up for yourself (and it won't necessarily be easy or obvious). Just watch him, and his buddy, and their interactions with the others, watch their fun as they get to self-realisations, and have a ball yourself on the way. Buy it - you won't catch it all at first time, or maybe even second-time round. I'm up for my third viewing tonight, and expect to enjoy it just as much.
