Deceptive title
10 July 2006
I think the title was very deceptive. Imagine bringing it home for a bunch of 10 yr olds thinking it was a movie about saving turtles and finding out it is a movie that is meant to arouse sympathy for gays and their fight against AIDS. In addition, all the straight men in the film were portrayed in an unflattering manner. The preacher was a stiff intolerant, unaware dolt. The Kure Beach cop (I know most of them and they're great guys) was a nasty bastard. The Marine from camp LeJuene was a thief. However, the two gay guys were caring, intelligent, sensitive, loving, wonderful human beings.

In the movies extras, I think its Kip Pardue that states Kure Beach is full of misfits and outcasts. Holy moly where did he get that from? Its a great town full of wonderful folks. But then he perhaps is comparing them to the Hollyweird types that think its normal for two males to make out and hug and kiss under the town fishing pier.
