Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU I like the film but maybe not for the good reasons. I like it because it is both sentimental and at the same time tense and dramatic. I like it because in the end they all manage to accept the real facts, the gayness of Chase and the gayness of the father forced to be straight for 20 years and revealing itself during the vacation with wife and children as witnesses. To be gay is hard, we all know that, especially for someone who has not been able to experience that kind of love for twenty years in spite of what he felt and knew he was feeling. I like this situation and the way it is dealt with by all the protagonists. The first one to go big bang is the mother but she negotiates the obstacle rather fast. The son will come second but he will find it hard to accept it and make up with his best friend after all. The father has it hard because a door opened and he could not even control what was happening. He is the one who did not think one single minute. He fell in love and ga-douche-bag down it went. He needs some time to try to find out sex is sex and love is love and that there is an enormous chasm between the two because they are not even the same thing, not even close cousins. The mind and the heart on love's side and the endocrine hormonal glands on the other side. It is sad but understandable for a forced straight monk till the ripe age of 38.I like that piece of dialogue that reveals how hard it is in our society to just accept love is a passion of the mind and the heart and not of some other appended organs.Tyler is the son and Chase is his best friend, who is gay though Tyler does not know it yet.Tyler Davidson: I love you man, like a brother... just... Chase Rousseau: I know, no sword fights. Tyler Davidson: Maybe we can find a more macho way of saying it... Chase Rousseau: ...Go Steelers? Tyler Davidson: Yeah, Go Steelers, I like that. Go Steelers. Wow I never said I love you to a guy before. Chase Rousseau: Me either. Tyler Davidson: Good talk.But that's the reasons why I like the film but they are false reasons indeed. And the real reasons I should consider may make me dislike the film.The first one is that the older man falls in love with a younger man, his own son's best friend, at once, without hardly one moment of hesitation, without courting the younger man, having some value or quality time with him, exchanging ideas, feelings, emotions, literature or whatever that has nothing to do with sex but everything to do with knowing the other and letting the other know who you are. Within five minutes on the screen, without any exchange of anything but a few looks, the older man starts undressing the younger man. Things may happen like that but it does look and sound like rape or at least hygienic hormonal milking. Sorry but I am a romantic somewhere and when two people meet, even if they fall in love at first sight, they have to spend some energy and time finding about each other, and they generally do. It is too much like: "I am… I know. Hug, First kiss. Second kiss. Older man undresses younger man." At least the older man does not seem to be shy, for a closet gay man for ever since his birth, he is catching up on the fast track.The second one, and this is a pattern in many films, is that the mother explodes first and then she is the first one to come to terms with the situation. She may pretend she knew the unexpressed sexual orientation of her husband, it does not explain the violence and then the acceptance. She should have been waiting for that moment of revelation, that epiphany all the time. I do not say she could have helped before it came all by itself, hence by accident, but she could not be surprised, not to mention angry and violent, even if only in words and packing a suitcase, because she knew it was going to come sooner or later in today's world of course. Twenty years ago things were different, but she lives in this here modern world with our TV and the Internet. The third one is the superficial acceptance of gayness, as long as it is abstract, by everyone, even the son who is told by Chase himself and in private that he is gay. As soon as it becomes real they all lose their footing. And this time again it is the mother who completely scatters her marbles with her younger daughter when on the beach the girl is looking at the penis that a friend of hers her age is showing her. Then she scatters them again because the girl is fond of her tennis instructor, a woman, after the first lesson. She is afraid of the word lesbian. And her defense is so weak: I have nothing against it but I do not want my daughter to be like that. And it is this mother who accepts after all rather easily her husband's gayness. Unbelievable. I am afraid that tolerant surface is there only to teach the audience a few lessons about the subject. It is pure ideological wrapping. But the film is quite entertaining, though we know from the very start who is who and who is going to go with whom. Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

crispin_13 I have a lot of mixed feelings about this movie. First off, there aren't enough gay movies around (I live in Toronto and if I can't get them here...) and I'm always excited about seeing them and promoting them; however, this is a terrible movie with a couple of highlights. Dan Payne is one of them. He is very good and while there are parts of the script that he gets mired down in, he manages to out act anybody else in this fiasco.The script is awful. The ideas are sound but the dialogue is choppy and laughable. Thea Gill might be the worst actress I've seen in a long time. Her melodramatics are only emphasised by the bad script and the soap opera music score. Every time someone says or does anything that might be slightly hinting at homosexuality we are bombarded by a heavy-handed strum of the guitar and don't forget the obligatory music video/montage sequence. Sheesh.The ideas are thoughtful and well intended but I don't want to like this movie in a desperate grasp for movies that identify our culture. I think that we need more than this. This movie is trying to be high culture but its coming off as an ABC Sunday Night Movie. Maybe we've hit a point where we are getting good and bad movies. Straight people get shitty movies; I guess we do too.

kellienrip I couldn't want to see this movie. Finally I thought, a movie with a twist and possibly realist portrayal of a closeted gay man and its impact on his family. What did I get, 90 minutes of over the top soap opera music, really really bad acting (either over done as with the son finding out his dad banged his best buddy, or no reaction at all. The father telling his wife he has been 'interested' in gay sex since college with no emotion at all on his face (Botox strikes again I suppose) and the 'lover' telling his best friend that he and his father had done the mattress mambo and showing no feelings at all. The only saving grace in this entire movie was the wife. I can not place where I have seen her before but she was both metered and nuance. Her face while the husband was unloading his burden rang true to me. My advice, skip it. If you into gays either over acting (remember Carol Burnett in her Mildred Peirce impression, but only not funny this time) or giving the classic soap opera stare as the music swell look, then you gonna love this, then you are gonna love this. If you want this story told correctly with good acting, check out the short Awakening.

nyctom If I hadn't known any better, I would have sworn it was about 1983-1984 while watching Mulligans (mainstream Hollywood always is a few years behind the times as, apparently, is so much of gay-themed cinema). Upper-middle-class white males in the throes of a Sexual Orientation Identity Crisis. Class and race usually don't figure into movies like this, though I must admit I spent more time wondering what exactly this Dad did that he could not only afford a Porsche, a sumptuous summer home, AND the ability to take off work for what appears to be an extended vacation than I did on, you know, the actual plot. But, since this is a generation AFTER Making Love, etc., we have the added twist of a father and his son's best college bud as unexpected (well, maybe not so unexpected after all...) lovers (well, maybe not lovers, per se, but it certainly sounds better to say that than what is actually the case: a blissful One-And-A-Half Night Stand Gone Horribly Horribly Wrong).It's all too Lifetime Movie for words, with everything played for Maximum Emotional Impact, including a music score swelling to ridiculous proportions (the better to milk that pathos). It's not that it is a bad movie; it's just that it's all been done before. And with more than 20 years of gay-themed cinema now under collective belts, isn't it about time that OTHER stories were told instead of yet another coming out melodrama? Can we at least have a coming out melodrama that is not afraid to explore the *consequences* of said coming out? I would have been far more interested to see what happens AFTER Mr Hottie Newly-Out Daddy drove away than in anything that happened before...
