It would be a bunch bigger 'victory' if it was a film with gay themes with gay actors that got such publicity.

Jake and his jeans were the best thing in the movie
I guess I was expecting a bittersweet, perhaps humor tinged movie, but although it had it's moments it was labored. There were too many scenes that if edited out or replaced with ones concentrating on the central characters and brought down to about 90 minutes would make a much more enjoyable film. I was close to nodding a couple of times.
Between all the riding around we did and sitting in the theater so long my lower back was killing me and in the last 30 minutes of the movie I was thinking more how nice it would be to go lie down, so that may have clouded my positives with the movie. I'll probably give it another shot when it hits DVD or the movie channels.
