Maybe it was too soon to post about this movie, but I was so surprise, and happy, to be able to go to one of those mainstream theatres, the ones with more than one screen, the ones with families, and kids, and popcorn and gadget, and while looking at the list of movies, finding this one, about a young gay couple and the struggle of one of them to do coming out to his family.

It's a comedy, a light comedy, and you smile while seeing it, and not since they are making fun of being gay. It's about young boys, twink boys, just out of college, and they are cute, and they are tender, and yes, they are in love, and as the pictures I posted are proving, they are not shy in showing their love.

True, it's not brain-boggle movie, it's a comedy, but it was so refreshing to see it, so simple and warming. And the acting was good, the setting was good, and well, everything was good.

Sure, it could have been more, more funny, more heavy, even more mainstream, but that doesn't matter, for what it has reached, being a prime vision in a big chain cinema, in ITALY, it's perfect as it's. No one dies, there is an happily ever after, and you leave the cinema with a smile on your face.

I just wish:

1. The trailer had sub-titles. I only speak 1 language well (and of the 4 others I limp along with, none are unfortunately Italian).

2. I could buy and watch this movie here. Soon?

That is the reason why I was not sure if posting about it. This movie is just out here in Italy, first week of screening so I'm not sure if they are planning to distribute it outside, but I hope so. Will for sure let you all know if they do.
