An average coming-of-age tale elevated by the wholesome twist of a pesky mother interfering during her son's discovery of his homosexuality.

Young star Kevin Bishop plays the confused Paul with enough soul to sustain a movie that sometimes comes on like an ersatz training manual for parents of gay kids.
02/13/03
This is mild-mannered, been-there material given a pedestrian spin by a director who needed a touch of the flamboyant, the outrageous.
02/06/03
A sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale.
01/20/03
Despite Juliet Stevenon's attempt to bring cohesion to Pamela's emotional roller coaster life, it is not enough to give the film the substance it so desperately needs.
12/16/02
The performances and tight direction from Ventura Pons keep the film from descending into cheap melodrama.

Top CriticThe principals in this cast are all fine, but Bishop and Stevenson are standouts.
12/07/02
Based on a David Leavitt story, the film shares that writer's usual blend of observant cleverness, too-facile coincidence and slightly noxious preciousness.
11/26/02
Plays like a glossy melodrama that occasionally verges on camp.

Top CriticHow can such a cold movie claim to express warmth and longing? In truth, it has all the heart of a porno flick (but none of the sheer lust).
11/14/02
It's the extra layer that makes this one, the movie's understanding of how disillusion and inner compromise can gradually separate a young artist from his divine spark.
11/08/02
Top CriticI suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject.
11/06/02
Top CriticOne of those so-so films that could have been much better.
