    Most Positive Gay message EVER!!!
    Have seen lots of gay themed movies and this is the FIRST one that showcases gayness in the most positive light possible. The two leading, gay characters are completely wholesome, young and attractive. They are serious college students with families who love and accept them as they are. You won't find any smoking scenes in this movie....no drinks, no illicit drugs. And you won't hear sleaze bags tossing around the F word as their most descriptive adjective. All you'll get are two athletic, academically oriented, "normal" behaving, gay college students who meet and fall for one another immediately. All the acting is spot on. Dialogue is exceedingly realistic and natural. Finally someone out there read my mind and presented a POSITIVE image of gay people.....and I'm not talking HIV.
