Refreshingly normal & devoid of any "Tragic Gay" storyline November 10, 2008
Brent McTavish (London, UK)
This film has been resonating with me days after watching it... not because it is the best film ever, but because it touched me deeply by the subtle way that it normalises the coming out experience and the subsequent gay relationships that can happen afterwards.
It was just so, so refreshing to witness on screen the unfolding lives, with no apologies and no judgements... and no funny camp fall guy to get in the way of the true story.
More Gay cinema like this... please!
My only criticism really would be that it ended with a little too much over sentimentality... but hey that's Hollywood for you.
Buy it, rent it, see it.
 Lack of passion October 26, 2008

The movie is very good and well produced but because neither actors are gay in real life, it really shows especially in intimacy. There is a lack of emotional engagement throughout the movie which gives you the feeling there is something missing. For example, the kissing is just hilarious it looks like they are kissing their grandmother lol. It's a shame cause the movie is above average.
A diamond in the rough September 28, 2008

As a gay man, I am have seen many, many gay films, most of which are to be honest, pretty awful. This however, is a splendid, unpatronising, uplifting and heartwarming film, that is set in the masculine world of surfing. There are no camp men, no limp wrists, no drag queens, no drugs, just a wonderful story about 2 ordinary men (1 of whom is having difficulty with his being gay) falling in love. The secondary characters are also great; the supportive brother and best friend, and the selfish, and on first glance homophobic sister all helping to make this a great gay film. I put this up there with Latter Days and Brokeback Mountain; definately one of my top gay films of all time. It's well acted, well cast, well written and well directed. It also has a great, chilled out soundtrack which is worthy of mention. Kudos to all involved. A true diamond in the rough.

What a great movie, loved it to bits. All the cast were excellent and the scenes played out really well. Definitely give this one a go.

I've been waiting for this film to be released on DVD in the UK ever since it was recommended to me by friends in the US. I've watched it several times online and it's already become one of my favourites. It's a beautifully written universal story about choosing between the obligations of your family and following your heart, backed up by great acting, stunning scenery and a gorgeous soundtrack (Shane Mack is definitely a name to watch for the future). An instant classic.
