    Looks does not match reality

    The actor who played Alex is NOT good-looking enough to be able to get a guy like Sebastian or Nelson. They should have switched the actors who played Alex and Nelson.

    That alone just ruins this movie.

    WOW😘 Love this movie!

    A simple tail, beautiful told. A romantic attraction holding the two men in each other gaze, as they fall passionately in love, over a week. Sebastian meets Alex, through his cousin, who is also Alex's boyfriend, however as the movie shows, love doesn't always go smoothly... Watch and you'll find out...

    Awfully made

    These emotions and sentiments are so crudely handled, which confuses me exceedingly! It's just a hook-up-with-your-cousin's-bf-and-totally-messed-up chaos. Besides, I don't find Sebastian is that attractive!! Two drama queens' lame performance has thoroughly sabotaged the exquisite street view of Canada!

    a week in the life of...

    Written, directed, and starring james fanizza. It's the extended version of the short released in 2014. When alex and sebastian meet, the sparks fly. But alex has a boyfriend. Who happens to be sebastian's cousin! A web of intrigue. Alex's boyfriend comes home in a week, and sebastian is only in town for a short time. So complicated. Of course, it'll all hit the fan at some point, but... who will be happy and who will be sad? At about 48 minutes, the camera is shaky for a couple minutes. It's a bit distracting, during a very serious moment. But it's mostly good! Some good acting, and some not so good acting. But mostly good. It's a week in the life of this circle of friends. And cousins.

    Wear a patch for the bad quality

    The story is okay. The two leads are cute together, despite the mediocre acting. The quality is horrible. I got motion sickness after about twenty minutes because the camerawork is about as steady as a go-go boy on a Saturday night. I wish I'd had a Dramamine handy just to get through the last act. Nonetheless, I didn't hate it. Give it a shot.
