An average coming-of-age tale elevated by the wholesome twist of a pesky mother interfering during her son's discovery of his homosexuality.

Young star Kevin Bishop plays the confused Paul with enough soul to sustain a movie that sometimes comes on like an ersatz training manual for parents of gay kids.
02/13/03
This is mild-mannered, been-there material given a pedestrian spin by a director who needed a touch of the flamboyant, the outrageous.
02/06/03
A sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale.
01/20/03
Despite Juliet Stevenon's attempt to bring cohesion to Pamela's emotional roller coaster life, it is not enough to give the film the substance it so desperately needs.
12/16/02
The performances and tight direction from Ventura Pons keep the film from descending into cheap melodrama.
12/13/02
The principals in this cast are all fine, but Bishop and Stevenson are standouts.
12/07/02
Based on a David Leavitt story, the film shares that writer's usual blend of observant cleverness, too-facile coincidence and slightly noxious preciousness.
11/26/02
Plays like a glossy melodrama that occasionally verges on camp.

How can such a cold movie claim to express warmth and longing? In truth, it has all the heart of a porno flick (but none of the sheer lust).
11/14/02
It's the extra layer that makes this one, the movie's understanding of how disillusion and inner compromise can gradually separate a young artist from his divine spark.
11/08/02
I suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject.
