Wilson Page, Jenica Bergere, Kate Flannery
Plot: Corey had it all - a successful career, a sister who's

the boyfriend dumps him for a woman, Corey sets off on a wild journey of
self-discovery that leads him to new love and a life-changing choices.
My Review and Thoughts:
Here is a wonderful romantic comedy. A nice mix of wonderful
acting, direction and over all love style of a relationship and a perfect
chemistry of characters on screen. A fantastic film of love, relationships and
finding oneself. A passionate approach of film making and a memorable story and
memorable characters and an awesome reality of love and companionship.
A great cast of actors and actresses showing brilliantly on
screen by creating their characters in flawless ways and performing in flawless
ways. All the actors shine. Tyler Poelle is perfect as the character of Corey
who is dumped by his boyfriend for a girl and now somewhat lost and decides to
set out to find himself and ultimately falls again in love with Pete played
amazingly by Joel Rush, who might I add is stunningly sexy and also perfect in
the part. Many will know Tyler Poelle from the television series Scrubs. Poelle
owns the character of Corey and makes the viewer believe in the character and
the drama he is going through.
Joel Rush also creates the character flawlessly in a believable
fashion which might I add I fell in love with. Both Poelle and Rush play off each
other’s perfect acting and create wonderful chemistry on screen. Joel Rush is
known for the ongoing gay movie series Eating Out and also for the TV series If
Loving You is Wrong.
I think this film is directed perfect by Rosser Goodman
which this is her second feature film. Her first being Holding Trevor in 2007 which might I add, she also aced. This is also written in a comical and drama induced
and plot driven way by writers of an amazing nature Dennis Bush and Cait
Brennan. Rosser Goodman did a great job at maintaining her actors and creating
a perfectly flowing film for the viewer. This is Dennis Bush’s first writing of
a script. Brennan is an actress and has written scripts before. Bush and
Brennan create a great story and a character driven love affair of reality,
which I think most all people can relate to. For this is a wonderful comical
romantic drama that stays with you long after it’s over.
Put out by KGB Films and Canteen Outlaws and TLA Releasing
which this is a plus under all their names. I feel this is a film that leaves a
lasting mark on the viewer and captures the beauty of love and choices and
struggle. I enjoyed the light heartedness at times and also the struggle at
times.
Corey is a therapist whose ultimate joy is helping those who
come to him, find a way of happiness in their lives. Now Corey has a sexy Jock
boyfriend named Jon, played wonderful by David Wilson Page. Page is a great
actor that creates Jon in perfection on screen. Now Jon has been a part of
Corey’s life for two years. Corey’s lesbian sister and best friend Kelsey tells
him he needs to pop the question.
Kelsey is played by the amazing actress
Jennifer Elise Cox who many will remember as Jan Brady from the Brady Bunch
movies. Cox has acted in many upon many TV and feature film roles and always
adds a perfect flare to her characters and Kelsey is no different. So after
pushing from his sister, Corey wants to marry and has all the courage to finally
pop that ultimate question, “will you marry me”? What Corey doesn’t know is Jon
knows and decides to go out and party where he finds a woman and ends up
sleeping with her and the attraction is more of need at the moment and want
then anything. Jon confesses to Corey. Jon leaves and now Corey is left hanging
with a personal struggle. The shock is Jon’s woman named Melissa is one of
Corey’s clients and so now Corey does not let on that he knows and so he continues
to see the client to get all the facts and info on the relationship. The
character of Melissa is played top notch by a great actress who has acting for
many years in TV and movie Jenica Bergere.
So begins the story and also Corey’s journey to find love
again. Some attempts are by horrible means and after a while finally finds a
social dating network titled Grindr. There he meets Pete, a sexy poet Pizza
boy. But as you can guess Jon the Jock shows up again wanting back with Corey
and soon all the truth and lies come out in disastrous moments of comedy and
drama. Soon Corey has to face the final showdown to make the right choice or
the struggle of making the choice he wants. Whatever he chooses those actions
will change his life.
A perfect mix of comedy and romance and drama. The film
comes together in a sexy, beautiful and stunning way. A passionate love affair,
romance, choices, secrets, relationships and the ultimate reality of setting in
stone a personal future.
Love the characters. Love the story. Awesome direction.
Amazing performers. Love the sexiness and comedy. This film shines in all its
romantic, drama and comedy reality that we all can relate to in one way or
another.
