All right, this is a romantic comedy, a romance, so it gains points with me, but I have also to be sincere, it's not exactly the best gay romance I have seen. It's quite clear that it's a small budget movie, setting, sound, scenography, photography, all have the hints of a small budget, and sometime I had the feeling that the director wanted to tell me something, but I didn't understand it (the ball on the beach?). And truth be told, it was difficult to link the main characters with college students, they seemed a bit too old for the role. BUT, again, this is a romance, the story of a young boy who wants his first kiss to be special, and there is a wonderful prince charming waiting for him, so, if you want to see, for once, a gay-themed movie without angst, well, this is definitely it.
