This is the quintessential gay movie. If you are interested in gay cinema, this is a must-watch. I won't give away anything, but it is the story of a young teen who has long accepted that he's gay, but goes to great lengths to hide that from everyone except his female best friend. When an unexpected romance presents itself, his life will never be the same again. The acting was perfect and every scene was compelling with romance and humor blended together to create a masterpiece of gay cinema.
