The more interesting and likable characters are overshadowed by the more annoying ones. Go to Full Review

This lifestyle comedy deserves credit for trying to blend together gays, lesbians, and heteros (rare sight in the 1990s), but the writing, direction, and execution are below mediocre. Go to Full Review

Munkhchimeg T 07/23/2024 Heartmelting movie. Every character’s opinion and behavior are really interesting while watching See more 01/16/2013 I love me some Jennifer Tilly. Whatever happened to her? Anyway fun and forgettable. See more 08/12/2012 Yes, I'm a fan of low-budget flicks. But I hate these gay dramadies that try and portray some sort of important message and be hilarious at the same time. Bleh. See more 07/20/2012 Shocking at the time, this film now dates poorly. It unsuccessfully runs across the border of humour and a discussion of truly disheartening subjects. See more 04/11/2012 Crazy movie but still loved it... See more 03/14/2012 I love this film. Really heart-warming and heart-breaking at the same time. Funny but shocking. A must see. See more Read all reviews
