CGiii Comment

Unrequited love...the misery of it all.

Technically, it's very good indeed.

The 'cougar' scene is a little difficult to swallow, do people really go to telephone pick-up bars on a sun-drenched beach?!?

The prove-to-me-you're-not-a-fag scene is offensive, unnecessary and demeaning...

But, there's no doubting the talent behind the camera...the writing needs a bit more work.


Trailer....
