Brotherly Love

I have to start by saying this was a sweet and touching rom-con. I really loved watching the film it was touching, sweet, campy and funny. I loved all the campy moments and absolutely loved all the gay icon jokes and references. Golden Girls rule! The actors were fun and there was good chemistry with the leads. I thought it was very meaning full with touching on religion and talking about living your full life and being happy. I liked that were was a powerful message about remember where the freedom of the LGBT comes from with Mr. Milk R. I. P. Thank you to the writer/director and actor Mr. Caruso this was a great and joyful film to see this type of positive gay film touching on a lot of things from religion to friendship and learning what really will make you happy and understand your true self, I also love that it shows not every gay guy wants to sleep around there are many of us that want a real relationship and not all gay's are the same. Look forward to rewatching.

I think one of the biggest talents (And responsibilities also) of a Good Director is to make his film look real and not fake. Well i think this movie goes away outside of these parameters. The acting made me feel I was watching an amateur movie with funny reactions specially from the main cast.

The definition of true unconditional love? Nah, I did not see that in this movie? The definition of a real catholic religion on these guys? Nah, it was all over the place , no more comments..

This is another movie that once again proves my theory. If the screenwriter has the lead, or the screenwriter, and the producer are also the lead, or if the Screenwriter is also the Producer and the lead, or if a family member is part of the production, don't bother watching. There's never a person on the outside to give a clear opinion of how bad it is, or how to improve it. I've also found that the lead is usually not a good actor.

This is an amateur production to be sure. The story has potential if a few rough edges could be taken off. The actors tried, but all lacked any depth to make anyone care about their characters. The cast was HS drama club level players.

The older gay couple in Austin should have been utilized more.

The sex scene was not realistic. The scene leading up to it could have been cut and shortened since it only served to make the movie move slower.

The time jumps were jarring and offered no time for a believable love story to develop. The 2nd date bf should have been jettisoned. The path of least resistance would have helped.

This film reminds me of a gentler, more campy, and fun-loving time of gay film-making. If you love movie classics (well, least the AMC-type) and the Golden Girls, your heart will flutter. The relationship tensions. the circle of friends, the clergy, the hopefulness throughout, etc. are all Hallmark-esk. Questions of life are pondered. The necessity/burden of romance is played out. You get to really know the central characters and their hearts. Plus, there are cowboys.
