I really loved and enjoyed this film!!! You do not need to be gay or lesbian in order to relate or enjoy this film. It has an important theme which is all about acceptance of others and the negative consequences of hate and bigotry. This is a thought provoking film that everyone needs to see. Although this is mostly a serious drama the film did have some laughable moments that gave one little breaks from the serious heaviness. There were moments that did cause me to cry out of sadness and joy. Also, the acting was very good especially the acting of the man who played the bigoted minister main character. This film made me pause and think about my own life, my childhood and my relationship with my father. We all need to take a step back sometimes and really try to feel what its like to be in others "shoes" in order to become more loving, understanding, and accepting.

I bought 3 DVD's to give to members of my family for Christmas.

I saw this film at a festival, and it made me cry. Tears of anger at first and then tears of joy at the end. This is the ultimate story of redemption and teaches the power of love and tolerance. I highly recommend that everyone see this, especially if they are gay and trying to come out to their families or if someone is struggling to come to grips with a family member who has just come out. This film is for you.

Wow, this was the worst movie I've seen in a long time. I wanted to turn it off after the 1st 15 minutes but was hoping it would improve. I should have turned it off.

The story line is of a bigoted minister whose daughter is a lesbian and his views change during the course of the movie. Right off the bat the daughter's lifelong best friend is killed in a hate crime. The movie gets confusing when the father either has a dream or is thinking that his daughter killed herself (the movie doesn't make it clear which) and the father turns into the dead best friends boyfriend. He goes through all of the trials and tribulations associated with being a gay male and ends up stopping the boyfriend from being killed by acting like a complete sissy!

The acting was horrible the lesbian "love scene", if you could call it one, looked completely fake and ridiculous. Several parts in the movie did not make sense for example they kept showing a photograph of the daughter (looking like a teenager) and her mother however though flashbacks the mother apparently died prior to age 4 or 5.

This was a waste of my time and money. I'm glad I only rented and did not purchase!

Beautiful movie maybe not HD but amazing story so true.I would recommended it to everyone.
I think all of us should watch it.We want to change the world while we are not even trying to change ourselves.This world is our.We are existing here and We should change our behavior.If you are not gay you don/t even know how hard it is to be one in this world.People hate you ,destroy you .LIFE,HEALING,SUN,NATURE,HARMONY AND SPIRIT

This movie was superb, especially for low budget gay/lesbian themed drama. However, you could apply the elements of bigotry the main character held and direct it toward any group and I see the story as thematically holding strong. As other reviewers have mentioned the same prior, I am really just resounding the same! This will not be a waste, I assure you. Also, if you are like me and have netflix and find it on their "instant" - it really isn't. I think it's a directors commentary over the film the whole time. I started trying to watch there and didn't work, so just spend your money here, it's a bargain anyhow!

Not to give too much away, but I found it particularly moving midway through and things had switched over. I hope it can help any out there who might still struggle with people in your life who think it's a "choice" or what not. Midway, we find the reverend in quite a new role, so to speak, and as we all know - much like I shudder at the thought of making out with a man - you can't just "choose" to be gay. Kudos for this film. The acting, writing and filming were just spot-on. Def drama, so on the love-meter - 4: chillax, but don't expect romance in the boudoir.

As always, pop the corn, here's your soda, don't drop milk duds on the white carpet, and pass the remote
