I saw Trevor in a film class at UCLA and it had everyone laughing hard. I loved the humorous approach it had to the taboo subject of homosexuality. To me, it was reminiscent of All in the Family's comedic presentation of difficult topics such as racism. Although the film was great, I still cannot give it 5 stars simply because I believe only a handful of films ever created deserve such reverence. It was entertaining and touching, nonetheless. And definitely worth viewing time and again. Enjoy.

This was truly a sweet movie. I wish that I would have had access to this movie when I was 13 and feeling that I was the only gay kid in the world. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, especially if you have kids that are struggling with these issues.

This is a charming and sensitive film that teaches acceptance andempathy. It's a real shame that the reviewer below called it"disgusting" and "gross". I assume it is the gay content that makes that reviewer so "disgusted". . . I merely want to give this charming film the credit it is due, and to stop the insults that the other reviewer has thrown indiscriminately out.

This was an enjoyable short film.The acting was very good and the story was well told. It's an up-lifting story that will make you smile and feel great. It's sweet and gives you a story that many will relate to about being or feeling out of place and looking for acceptance. It is fairly short, about 16 minutes of actual movie with an additional 5 minutes of introduction. I recommend this as a solid addition to your video collection because it's unusual and done very well. It is clean enough for mixed crowds of all ages. A good tool for enlightening narrow minds.

TREVOR tells the story of a fourteen-year-old gay boy's voyage of self-acceptance. The film's humor owes a great deal to HAROLD AND MAUDE: several of the film's funniest scenes are paraphrases of Harold's staged death scenes in the earlier film. The humor aside, this is a very tender and humane film. Trevor (wonderfully played by Barsky) is a sensitive young man who is being raised by parents who might just as well be perfect strangers - a state common among gay kids. That Trevor is gay seems obvious to everyone but Mom and Dad - the kid adores Diana Ross and Broadway show tunes, for gosh sakes! Trevor has to endure the rejection of the object of his first crush as well as the rest of his schoolmates. But Trevor is nothing if not resilient and it is his strength of character that gives the film it's spirit.

I first saw this movie on HBO and it made me cry. It's about a lonely boy named Trevor who is gay and that he is having problems in his life. He becomes friends with this boy named Pinky which Trevor has a crush on. Later, Pinky finds out that Trevor has a crush on him and everyone at school thinks he's gay. At the end of the film he tries to kill himself but nothing happens he then goes to the hospital and meets this nurse named Jack and the next day they go to a concert together. Trevor is not supposed to be a disgusting movie. It's supposed to be a serious movie if anyone out there in life is having problems and it helps you think. I think everyone should watch this movie if anyone is ashamed of themselves because you should be proud of who you are and it doesn't really matter who you hangout with what matters is you and you should try to be yourself and not let anyone bother you if they are making fun of you. I've rented a sequel of this movie and it's called Boy's Life 2 but Trevor is missing and it just shows a few gross gay short films which is not about Trevor so I decided to take the video back to the store. Anyways Trevor is a good film I think you should rent it if you hadn't seen it but it does come on HBO a lot so I guess you should wait till it comes on HBO then you won't miss it. You will enjoy this movie.

This movie is amazing, among the best I've ever seen. If you have ever felt awkward as a teenager, or just not fit in, you will understand this movie. If you were or are a gay teenager and had an obsession with a diva (Bette, Diana, Barbra, etc) then you will find this movie to be very realistic. It's funny, heart-breaking and in the end heart-warming. This is a must see!

Get out the tissues and prepare to laugh. This short film was excellently written, directed and produced! So many people believed in this project and I see why.

This film is saving lives! It's teaching so many adults about what children go through in their young lives. It tells the story but doesn't make it heavy with depressing moments but lightens things up with humor. I cried at the end because of the joy I felt yet the sadness I felt as well because I knew that many children are still suffering today.

This should be a requirement for EVERYONE to see!

Let's here it for Trevor and his Diana Ross Revue! This truly uplifting story will make a place in your heart for a very long time. See it with that special someone.

If you ever wondered what the world looks like to a gay teenager, look no further! "Trevor" is a deliciously funny look at the world through the eyes of a very sharp and tormented young boy. Exquisitely acted. A must see. Enjoy!
