I loved the amalgamation of the beautiful camera shots, talented cast, and story line that was equal parts, sexy, funny, and endearing. By the end of the movie, you'll identify with one of the characters struggles, as well as yearn to live in the dreamy beach house. It's not at all a thriller, but still leaves you holding your breath, and bitting your nails at certain points. The whole production feels very reminiscent of Tom Ford's movies to me. Every scene, sound, movement, and lighting change is a vibe. This is a newer director for me, but after watching The Shoulder Dance, I want to check out more of Jay Arnold's films. Go watch! This was the perfect move to laugh, cry, and think fondly of yesterday. :)
It's a good film. It has a great and honest perspective on what matters truly at the core of our most real, most human relationships.
I wish Arnold would write in more BIPOCS with his lead characters and stories though. It's been missing for most of his films (there's background BIPOC characters in Big Gay Musical sure but it seemed an afterthought). So here's hoping to finally see forethought and fleshed out major BIPOC roles in this upcoming works.
It'll be great to see nuances in shapes, sizes and colours with his cast members and it frankly would be interesting to see how Arnold's brilliant writing and storytelling craft will evolve within a multicultural and pluralistic milieu.

This well produced and directed movie entertains in a big way....the story not only allowed me to reminisce about my party days (which was one of my happiest chapters of my life), but tells a compelling story of childhood friends.
"Love, Laughter, and Friendship shine in this heartwarming film that beautifully explores the deep bond between two friends. The story not only celebrates the joy of self-discovery, but also highlights the enduring power of genuine connections. With stellar performances and a touching narrative, this movie is a testament to the universal themes of love and acceptance that resonate beyond boundaries."
A refreshingly real and well written movie, perfectly casted. It's not surprising this movie is getting the attention it deserves. Wonderful film that shouldn't be missed.

Are there really people who can watch this silly spectacle for 100 agonising minutes? And then give it ten points? The director must have some good friends.
I'm sick of watching such pumped-up, rich American snobs babbling to themselves.

What a load of rubbish. Couldn't make it through half of the movie. A film to delete and forget immediately. I would have walked out of the cinema.

Funny, refreshing, and heartfelt. Definitely worth a watch. The story is relatable but doesn't feel like a retread, and the performances definitely pop. Samuel Larsen is a comedic standout, and Maggie Geha's Lilly is a breath of fresh air; she feels like the kind of friend you can only hope swoops in out of the blue to surprise you. Overall, it's a wistful story about love, friendship, growing up, and holding on to what's the most important to you. Plus, it's a ton of fun, and the joy onscreen is infectious. It's hard not to fall in love with these characters and see why they love each other too. Glad it's available on streaming platforms now; check it out.
