CGiii Comment

It's boring...

No complaints about the acting...BUT, the writing and direction are definite problems

The typical mistakes are made when a gay man is painted through a woman's eyes.

Kokkinos may have gotten the Greek family down to a tee...but, why does she think she can get into the head of a gay character?

It looks as if she has spent many hours watching gay porn...it seems, that she believes that all gay men are all exactly the same. Wrong!!!

Intensely boring and supremely annoying.

A vile, useless film.

The(ir) Blurb...

Nineteen-year-old Ari confronts both his sexuality and his Greek family. Ari despises his once-beloved parents, former radical activists, for having entombed themselves in insular tradition. Ari is obsessed with gay sex, although he does make an unenthusiastic attempt to satisfy the sister of one of his best friends. While all of this is going on, he's facing problems with his traditional Greek parents, who have no clue about his sexual activities.
