O.K, so it's not Shakespeare, it's not meant to be! You just have to take it for what it's worth, go with it and have many laughs along the way! I think you actually forget that they are men, well, maybe not, but it's an enjoyable film, to say the least! Most of the scenes are funny and I think all of the actors do a great job in their roles! I do have to say that I bought the movie because Ron Mathews is a personal trainer at my gym and my friend and I are hot for him! Even though he's straight, I think he has a wandering eye for my beautiful friend, who is also a trainer! It's nice to know that, even if Ron is in reality all straight, that he is comfortable with himself doing a movie like this and kissing men! And, that one scene will give me enough to fantasize about in the gym, especially since he's always fully clothed! Anyway, you won't be disappointed here! In the sense of "Too Wong Foo" and "Priscilla", you'll enjoy this one!

I am a high school German teacher and my kids absolutely love watching this movie! They always ask to watch it over and over when I can't be there and they have to have a sub.

I have learned some A.S.L. and can say that there are similarities but A.S.L. and German Sign Language are definitely different! I can appreciate the struggles Lara goes through and she does a good job, for her, at trying to balance in all 3 worlds. Deaf, Hearing and Music. It's only when outside factors cause tension that spill over into one or more of her worlds that she has trouble coping! There is that one sad moment in the film that gets me every time, something I can relate to but, overall, the entire film is captivating and leaves you wanting to know what happens with Lara, her career and her relationship with her family and Tom afterward! I'll never tire of this film!

I just saw it alone last night and am glad I did! My friend saw it alone and said he experienced it better emotionally so I'm glad I did that as well! I am still haunted by the movie, couldn't sleep last night and, when I left the theater, I had chills and had to take a few hours to process what I had seen! All of the characters in this film are wanting to be loved and something keeps it at a distance from them! Even Lureen wants love, even though she comes across as a cold, businesswoman! I identified the most with Jack, simply because he would do anything on Earth to be with the man he loves, drive across State borders for countless hours, just to have a few days or a week with Ennis! I would do the same thing for the man I love, give him everything I have emotionally and spiritually and hope that he one day takes it from me and gives it back to me! I can relate to Jack big time and my favorite 2 scenes in the movie are: 1: When he leaves Ennis after he surprises him and he chooses his daughters and Jack drives away crying. That scene is so touching and telling that he wants so desperately to be with him but he can't, either because of the time, family or other people.

2. I also love the scene where Ennis drives away, actually the last time they see each other, and Jack flashes back to 20 years earlier when he rode off to go up and tend the sheep. A simpler time where the 2 of them were undisturbed and together.

I really felt for Alma when she discovered the 2 of them kissing and loved Michelle Williams in the role! Great, great, poignant film!
