Good Enough: A Modern Musical

Loved watching a gay film with a super happy ending. Don't want to spill the beans, but there's a bit of a tearjerker in there. Trevor and Jamal's connection is just so pure and innocent - totally my vibe. And can we talk about the sizzling chemistry between the actors? Had me wondering if they're a real-life couple. The film's pacing was right up my alley, and those awkward moments between Trevor and Jamal? Totally relatable. The ending? Heartwarming and put a huge smile on my face! Wasn't expecting it to wrap up like that, but I'm so glad it did. Overall, a solid, relatable story that's a breeze to follow.

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to laugh as much as I did watching this. Yes, there were some serious parts but a lot of it is pure comedy. From the beginning when Jamal's friend was trying to grab the microphone, that part is HILARIOUS! Then later when he says that K-Swiss is better than Nike, I laughed out loud literally. I enjoyed watching this but think they should reconsider the genre and make it a comedy. Even the "deep" moments have a comedic nuance to them. The table scene was another part that had me dying laughing, there's no way you can tell me this isn't a comedy. Trevor's father is funny as hell. He's like an Archie Bunker of today. Trevor's mom and that axe! Please re "genre" this film, I think people would see it differently if they knew if it was okay to laugh.

I'm the type that appreciates independent art. The storyline was easy to follow and I felt like I could relate to the drama. The actors were good for it to be a cast full of none "Hollywood" people. The cinematography was okay, there were no shots that were too dark. This was one of the best I've seen. The music was very catchy and each song gets stuck in my head. The characters are extremely relatable. After seeing the credits at the end, I appreciated this movie so much more. The writer and director is the same person that wrote the songs! That's amazing for talent to be set into one individual.

Approaching this with skepticism due to unfamiliar faces, I was pleasantly surprised by its quality. The engaging and authentic storylines captivated me, though I wished for more exploration of Nathan's character, potentially making it the focal point with the love story as a subplot. Nathan's song "99 Pills" was a standout, sending shivers down my spine-an undeniable highlight. The acting, while decent, aligns with many smaller budget films, and there's a sense of commitment across the board. I'm giving it 7 stars, I acknowledge its potential for growth and look forward to see what else is produced by the writer Mike Spears in the future.

I really liked this musical, which won thanks to creator Mike Spears at three festivals in LA, as well as in Florence and Palm Springs, and I will keep coming back to it. The choice of both main protagonists was absolutely brilliant. Not only excellent acting, but also singing. One song after another was a delight not only to my ears, but to the point where I wondered why there weren't more of them. Gradually, the story unfolded and I became more aware of the completely professional approach of Jay Towns and Trey Mendlik. Both mothers showed up a lot in the second half as well as some other characters and I was sad at the end that everything ends and I also enjoyed the end credits, which you must not turn off. I definitely recommend it especially to open-minded viewers who like this kind of film art. And I'm going to the musical again...
