Although I realize this was released back in 1996, and it is now 2006, 10 years after, I've never seen this flick until this weekend on the Logo channel. It's very refreshing to see gay themed movies that do not depict the main characters as effeminate and/or drag queens... just regular guys being regular guys. I would rate this movie right up with Brokeback Mountain in that respect, just in a different setting and a different time period. I've already bought a copy off E-Bay, and would recommend this movie highly to anyone. I would also recommend it to any parents who are struggling with gay issues with their children. The acting is top-notch, and I can certainly see why it was nominated and won so many awards. Scott Neal and Glen Berry held onto their characters like pros, and Linda Henry as the mom was just excellent! The characters of Ronnie and Trevor made my skin crawl, but from an acting perspective - wow - great job! Ric.
