Brotherly Love

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.

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.

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.

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.

I liked this film for its positive intentions, but I disliked the direction of the film and in my opinion Anthony J Caruso should have left it to someone else. And to be absolutely honest I found a lot to be desired in the acting in general. The Catholic ' brothers ' got on my nerves, and especially the stereotyped banter that seemed to go on forever. It did not come from an elderly generation alone, but among the young characters. One ridiculous scene was when one young man did not know of a reference to Bette Davis, and was gently taunted at for not doing so. Why should he have ? In my opinion ( as the film came out in 2017 ) the director should have known that a young generation of viewers had moved away from the ( to me ) internalised homophobia of the past. On the positive side I also felt the film meant well, and I have to say that I speeded up the duration of its relatively long running time towards the end. No spoilers but I glimpsed a gay marriage and despite my former reservations I felt the good intentions of making this rather badly made film.
