Nov 18, 2008This is a coming of age and coming out story, even though it is set in the U.K., is still close to something I relate to. Well written and acted. There is no drama for drama sake. Very accurate for real life gay teen experience - even down to the chubby friend-girl! I even thing from the point of the parents is well told. Great movie, a lot of fun and very lovable characters!Thomas J Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2008I liked it. Good acting. Very real, characters were good. I liked seeing the development of the main character. His emotions were raw and so true. Loved his speech near the end. I think it is probably a very real representation of what its like being a gay teen (although I cannot completly guarentee that, considering I dont personally know the feeling.).Sarah .
