    decent

    Fair to see it with some indulgence. Because, against the modest chemistry between the main actors, against the long and heavy silence moments and not the most inspired dialogues, it has the virtue to remind Hallmark productions, Patricia Place gives a charming role, the cliches are so familiar becoming comfortable and the stories about friendships from childhood / young years are not so bad. A decent film proposing, off course, not much. But illustrating a nice work , proposing a reasonable LGBT story.

    A Gem

    I found this to be a very enjoyable film, and quite touching as well. I was pleasantly surprised by how sweet Kyle's character is later on in the story. I appreciate that they picked good ACTORS and not eye candy like many gay films seem to do. This is a very good "feel good" movie, which can be hard to find when it comes to gay films.

    revisiting your home town love, and where is he now?

    Arizona Sky opens with two teenagers going off on a camping trip, lamenting that they will soon be going their separate ways. They have a secret that they don't want getting out, even when Jake moves away. Then we flash forward to when hottie Jake (Eric Dean) is in the film industry, and needs to get away from it all. And, apparently, he has to take his housemate along... that relationship is a little weird ... he seems to be pretty involved in Jake's life for a housemate. So Jake heads back to his hometown to look up his old buddy Kyle ( Jayme McCabe). There are some holes in the plot, and issues with the script and the directing, but its a cute little story of homecoming. Worth the rental.

    Arizona Sky is a neglected treasure

    Arizona Sky is a badly neglected treasure of a film which should be short listed with that small handful of gay themed films like My Beautiful Laundrette made in the UK and The Man I Love made in France. Particular kudos should go to the stars Eric Dean and Jayme McCabe for their convincing and visceral portraits of your average confused-conflicted non-gay identified man who loves another man. Far from being poorly scripted and poorly acted, Arizona Sky superbly portrays the confusion and pain of being caught in the terrible place of having to deny one's most tender feelings--and it does so with the actor's silences, hesitations, and awkward moves in hostile environs. Az isn't the land of Oz, but its where real men in real boots have to walk over and over if they are to win their personal honor and live lives of real integrity.

    Nice effort, but flawed and somewhat amateurish.

    I wanted to like this film, and some of it is very good, but there are many flaws. The best thing about this is the performance by Eric Dean as "Adult Jake". James McCabe as "Adult Kyle" is very handsome to look at, but weak as an actor. There is also a lack of chemistry between the two lead actors. My main complaints are the repetitive lines in script, slow pace, awkward & long pauses, and inadequate photography. Several key scenes just drag. Too often, the camera seems too far back from the actors and gave the feel of a filmed play. There needed to be more medium shots and closeups. This film is just "OK" and pleasant for an LGBT romantic drama.

      After Heath catches Jake and Kyle in bed, he runs out of the house and Kyle follows him to the truck. Heath is angry, and throws a punch at Kyle. Even though it is obvious that Heath missed Kyle's head, and there is no punch sound effect other than Heath grunting loudly, Kyle spins around violently as if Heath had landed the punch squarely on Kyle's jaw or cheek.
