10 out of 10 for 'Ethan Green'

I loved this movie, the actors, the writing the score, everything about it. It's a shame it's not on release in the UK, I only discovered it by accident on Here TV and went on a search to to see if it was available. I decided to take a risk and buy it without first watching it. I'm glad I did, it'd quite refreshing to find a gay movie that's not all about coming out and being alienated. Is funny without having to present gays in a stereotypical way and presents life and love as any other 'straight' movie would. I loved Meredith Baxter she was fantastically cast as Ethan's mother, the Hat Sisters were great fun. David Monahan as Leo was too cute. And Daniel Latterle was brilliant as Ethan. As a 32 year old gay man this movie felt relevant to me.
