Oh, my God how much do I love this movie? Nobody has AIDS, nobody gets bashed, and nobody dies. Just a nice romantic movie about two people falling in love while dealing with everything life throws at you.
You so do. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when "nobody dies" is reason enough to get excited about a movie, but until things improve I'm going to cherish my happy endings when I get them.
It's pretty much my favorite gay movie *ever*. How do you feel about the fact that nobody except the rotten sister ever says "gay"? It's the only thing that I'm iffy about - on the one hand, maybe the writer's were trying to be "post-gay", or make the statement that we shouldn't have to define ourselves by our sexuality, but on the other hand, claiming the truth about yourself is powerful and freeing, and we should be able to say it out loud without fear. And on the gripping hand, they have the OMG sweetest and most romantic guy/guy moment I've ever seen on screen, so who cares what they call themselves.
It was definitely an interesting choice. I think I would've liked to have heard Zach say it at least once. But on the other hand I'm kind of appreciative that it wasn't The Big Coming Out Story. It was just two guys falling in love, which was nice.

There were so many sweet, romantic guy/guy moments in this movie I'm going to have to ask you to be a bit more specific.
In bed, right before Gabe shows up. Zach and Shaun just looking at each other with such tenderness, and Shaun says "I'm glad you're here". That's just such a heartfelt moment, it gets me a little misty-eyed every time.
