Top CriticThe BIG sex scene starts poorly as the pair, alone at last due to a so-convenient snow storm, efficiently undress themselves as if preparing for a rugby match ...

Cox -- who experienced the Mormon view on gay life firsthand -- gets the sort of performances out of his characters that will help you overlook what is cliched about the story.

Top CriticIt's a winning, heartfelt and conflicted piece where the conflicts often resolve themselves in surprising ways.
04/02/04
A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is.

Top CriticA fairly flat, predictable tale.
