This was an all right movie. It's about a guy who has a steady girlfriend, but after meeting a gay guy at a party soon realizes that he is also gay. The girlfriend plays a very large role in the story. My favorite character was actually a straight best friend of Alex named Del, he added a lot to the story; especially the scene where Alex confided in him at the school yard. While it was mostly enjoyable, my issue was the casting - Alex was supposed to be about 17 and the guy he liked about 19, yet both looked to be about 30. I really wish all media would cast more realistic actors (age-wise) if...
