I stumbled upon this movie wile browsing on YouTube and thought I'd give it watch. As with many other low-budget gay movies, it did start off being cheesy and daytime soap-ish. But as the movie progressed the story was pretty sweet and endearing.
I was in love with both Justin and Michael; with Justin's persistent courting antic in getting Michael out for a date from the start might come across as being too sweet but I loved it.
As with many other Rom-Com's, I was expecting the drama or conflict to set in halfway and I was like wondering if this movie is for real? But the conflict did actually start about two-third into the movie.
But I was afraid that the conflict might leave me unsettled but as it turned out the movie ended the way I like it - a fantasy that I myself am not able to achieve but at least it gave me that escapism of true love.
In conclusion, I don't mind if the performances were wooden or not even Oscar-worthy for that matter. What matters was the warmth that it gave me.

Satisfying love story....at last!
Priscilla Don't Preach!
Yak yak yak... Preach, preach, preach.... Enough already. Bad wooden acting, overreaching, contrived extended plot. Cringe worthy, thus the 1 star for eliciting some reaction. Where's the director's 99% cut when it's truly needed.
Daft title for rather an enjoyable gay romcom.
This starts off quite amusingly as Jonathan Miles ("Justin") narrates us through a little of his young life, dressing up etc. (being portrayed by child actors who didn't look remotely like him!),and of his current rather one dimensional relationship with his homophobic father who funds his studies so long as he gets straight A's and, well, is straight... After a stupid prank with a tree, he ends up in hospital where he is tended by "Michael R.N." (Bjorn Anderson) and determines to get him out on a date... The back stories, though quite serious in intention, are just a little too contrived. Miles' performance is quite engaging; the writing witty and well paced, and his unique courting strategy has an honesty to it that I found refreshing - ever remember playing crazy golf (and cheating),or just tickling someone...? It runs out of steam a bit, though, and the ending is rather uninspiring. That said, it's still quite a well put together effort from Michelle Leigh with an endearing degree of chemistry between the leads that is eminently watchable.
