I first had the "pleasure" of seeing this mess at a film festival-to say that it did not go over well is an understatement. While it tries vainly to be a Tennesee Williams type melodrama of secrets and forbidden love it really is just a showcase of bad acting and even worse storytelling. The husband's a closet case mope, the wife's a dim bulbed dope and the cowboy has the worst fake Southern accent outside of high school productions of "Steel Magnolias". Scenes that are supposed to be high drama elicited laughs from the audience and if you can't see the "surprise" ending from a mile away, maybe it's just best that you lay off of movies for a while. I do give this film one star because the house it takes place in is an absolute riot of color(a laugh riot).

Cashing in on the huge success of "Brokeback Mountain", newcomer Gregory Christian writes and directs an 80 minute story that begs to be shot. It's barely soft-porn, when a young gay cowboy is picked up at a "junction" and taken home to be a handy-man. After sex with the husband, the wife gets into the scene and the whole thing just blows (only it just doesn't - wink, wink). It's a silly tale that goes nowhere and ends nowhere and we wonder why good gay films aren't made more often.

Pity there is not a minus star rating - I was forced to rate this 1 star which it does not deserve. I cannot believe I wasted my money buying this junk. Serves me right for not reading reviews first.

NO ABRASIVE SEXUALITY BETWEEN THE ACTORS...........YOU CAN MAKE A MOVIE,SUCH AS THIS............MORE SEXUAL,DIRTY IN A GOOD WAY? IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO BORING. I WASH MY HANDS ON THIS MOVIE.

Easily the worst movie I've seen this year. The production was amateurish from start to finish, with a poorly written story and bad acting. Really more of a video than a movie. The house had more "character" than the actors, and I found myself distracted by the sheer garishness and color choices apparently made from the reject paint at the local home center store. Based on this one experience, I will be adding the writer and the actors to my "stay away from" list, as this can't have been an isolated incident for any of them.

A truly unfortunate experience in movie watching

Despite appealing performances by the hustler and the betrayed wife, this movie sinks slowly and rises only occasionally in my jeans. The story is good, the effort capable, with the worst ending ever. The only good thing is the editing out of deleted scenes, which are so bad as to not be considered a bonus feature.
