Oct 12, 2009I'm a huge fan of gay romance (no idea why, I can't stand straight romance), but I didn't particularly like it. The acting was fine, and there was awesome music (Yazoo, Bronski Beat etc = yay), but it was just boring.Lauren D Super Reviewer

Oct 06, 2009I really thought I was gonna hate this movie but I actually thought it was pretty good. A lot of the criticisms I noticed has to do with stupid choices that the Eric character makes but maybe they don't remember what it's like to be 17. He's pretty much an innocent dork that gets caught up in what he believes to be love but is actually just sex. From there it's a lot of confusion for him. Maybe it's not groundbreaking but the acting was pretty good for a low-budget gay movie. B+Sunil J Super Reviewer

May 10, 2009Meh. Ive seen a lot better. It had one of the most realistic endings Ive seen though. Not really happy but thats life right? I was disappointed that the song Edge of Seventeen wasnt in it though. :P Mediocre all and all.Sarah . Super Reviewer
