The review of this Movie prepared by Erica Whitney




This is an incredible story of finding who you are and what you stand for. The main characters fight discrimination and the "laws of the norm" to find each other and begin a love of epic proportions. The movie ends bitter-sweetly and the audience is left to decide the fate of the characters that they have easily grown to love.

This movie shows how essential personal growth and romance are, but in a very comical way. The main charachter, Holden, finds himself wrapped up with a woman whom he finds out is a lesbian. Eventually they become romantic with each other but the fate of the relationship is in the hands of Holden's arrogant attitude towards this woman's previous lifestyle.

Smart,funny story about boy meets girl, falling in love. Only girl turns out to be a lesbian. They start a relationship, but there's much resentment from their friends/society. Can their relationship survive all this?

The review of this Movie prepared by Tamara




Most of this movie is spent deconstucting hangups people have in relationships... Filled with Jealousy and dishonesty. Plenty of unexpected surprises as the movie ends on a down note... It's not who you love..It's how.
