This Russian River love story will linger with lonely-hearts of all persuasions.

Redwoods is filled with inspirational nature montages, sappy music, soap opera level acting and production values - practically inviting rampant heckling.

Yes, everyone loves a handsome stranger, but at this stage of the game, we need our handsome strangers -- gay or straight -- to do something new and interesting, not just recycle the same very familiar three-act story arc.

Rated: 2.5/5

Outstanding movie. Heartwarming. Must see for anyone ever in love but can't experience all that love.

A tale of cheaters. Meet Everett and Miles, a gay couple with a disabled son. While Miles went on a father and son trip, Everett met a handsome travelling writer and as you would have expected, one thing lead to another, Everett must decide between the old bound and new romance. The acting was disastrous, no chemistry could be seen. The script was ridiculous and the direction was all over the place. It's like a really long and really bad soap opera that wouldn't end. Would have been better if it was a psychological thriller.

Blimey, this film is so well meaning. But really it is appallingly acted and has a script that isn't as wise as it thinks it is. We spent most of the time shouting at the screen and second guessing the dialogue. The picture is best described as a filmed camera rehearsal.
