I thought this was such a great movie. It was a very realistic story, well acted, good dialogue, and an incredible cast! It was funny and heartfelt. I ached for the pain the closeted character was going through. So many of us can relate at least in some way to what he felt, and how he attempted to deal with it. With the love of a friend, he was able to perservere, and come out happy and strong! Watch this movie!

2.0 out of 5 stars Tru-Loved is bloated, limp and literally drips with cheese, April 11, 2010

This review is from: Tru Loved (DVD)

The only person who deserves positive credit for Tru-Loved is whoever
edited the trailer, because it gives the distinct impression of a
cutting edge, highly relevant and entertaining film, but sadly the
trailer contains the only good and valuable few minutes of the entire
feature.

Tonight after just five minutes I was seriously thinking of pressing
the fast forward or eject buttons, but since I'd paid a premium price
I was determined to see it through. What a tragic waste of time and
money (for myself as well as the filmmakers). Tru-Loved is bloated,
limp and literally drips with cheese - and in spite of being obviously
well intended, it manages to fail in every regard as acceptable cinema.

I was especially annoyed that there was so little skill demonstrated in
the sound design. There were repeated scenes (mainly in the tree house)
where the voices dropped so low that I had to pump the volume on my amp
to understand what was being said - and even then the voices were being
drowned out by the sound of the actors' footfall. I had to then quickly
adjust the amp volume back down as the next scene blared out. That sort
of careless attention to detail reflects directly on the technical
quality of the whole film.

I had bought this DVD thinking it would be a youth positive asset for
an LGBT community film night, but sadly it's much more likely to go in
the bin (as did "The Curiosity Of Chance" and "Tan Lines").

Ordered this DVD because of Jasmine Guy. It was really a very good film. Glad that I saw it.
