Trivia

The title, Mulligans, is a golf term to refer to getting a second chance to strike a ball in a hole. A golfer would get an extra stroke after a poor shot, and it's not counted on the scorecard.

---

Goofs

If Stacy knew Nathan was gay, then she shouldn't have stopped golf as a conversation topic because if she wanted to save that marriage, she would have needed Nathan distracted by golf.

Bre Hamilton: Well, I can tell. You haven't tried to make out with me and we've been here, what, ten minutes?

User Reviews

Totally predictable but good

Tyler Davidson (Derek Baynham) brings home buddy Chase (Charlie David) for the summer. His hunky father Nathan (Dan Payne) and mother Stacey (Thea Gill) love Chase. Then Chase tells Tyler he's gay. Tyler has no problem with it and tells his family...and Nathan realizes he might be gay too.

The story was totally predictable from beginning to end. I was always one step ahead. Also there's a little sister (Grace Viskovic) who's too cute and intelligent for anyone her age. Still I loved this. It was written by David (who is openly gay himself) and he perfectly caught the feelings and emotions of a gay man coming out to his friends. The acting is exceptional. David, Gill and Baynham are all good but Payne is just great. He has a very hard role to play and he pulls it off. Also the movie just looks gorgeous. They shot it in a small town in Canada and the scenery was just breath-taking. Also there's a few very hot man on man kissing scenes! So it is totally predictable but beautifully done and acted. I give it an 8.
