    Ugh!

    I can't imagine being friends with any of these characters. Similar to crazy Southerners that speak in nothing but Bible verses, these young kids speaking in nothing but movie quotes and actually say nothing interesting or provocative, much less profound. Don't waste your time with this "movie". I was only able to get up to the 52 minute marker. It was painful to watch.

    Wow....

    How did they ever round up so many actors that have no sense of how to act. Absolutely awful. Got to the 28 minute mark and set my laptop on fire.

    Sweet and enjoyable film

    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.

    Hard to show any "Brotherly Love" here

    Like so many first-time Director/Writer/Actor's, Anthony J. Caruso got in the way of his own production by trying to wear to many hats in this his first big film endeavor. There is a story here, as future Brother Vito (Caruso) is caught between the call of God and the attractive summer handyman Gabe (Derek Babb). However, with Caruso's continually verbose writing, and a directing style that unnecessarily lingers too long on his characters, the just under two-hours feel like an eternity. As with most LGBTQ films, there is an array of secondary characters, many of who are either over the top like Vito's campy friend Tim (Chance McKee) and the exaggerated and stereotypical lesbian Blaze (Laurie Coker "A Dogwalker's Christmas Tale"), painfully slow paced like Joseph (David Blackwell "Brotherhood"), overly stiff like Brother Mike (Gerald Brodin), or corny like straight truck driver Eddie (Tim Mateer). And, don't get me started on the summer house gaggle of "Golden Girls" geese housemates. "Brotherly Love" is distributed by "Breaking Glass Pictures," and will have a theatrical release on August 3, 2018 and a DVD/DOV release on August 7, 2018. Already an Oklahoma LGBTQ Film Festival Best Picture Winner and Naveda International Film Festival Best Feature Film Winner, you to will soon have an opportunity to see if you find any reason to show any "Brotherly Love" here.

    Another Movie "I Did Not Believe In love Again"

    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..
