    90 minutes into this film you think, surely, there's no way this adult love story ends with the lead singing a song at a prom considering neither character is a teenager, teacher, singer, and no prom has been mentioned thus far -- strap in.

    Soooo adorable. We truly are living in the age of queer romcoms. What a shame this has flown so far under the radar, it’s a fun and romantic little affair that made me smile a whole bunch. GAY MOVIES LIST

    i honestly did want to be on this movie’s side but from moment one it feels more like a simulacrum of a romcom then one in earnest. every conversation feels overwritten, switching between deep sincerity and zany jokes that never quite land. the characters are always telling…

    The writer Zack was not good actor, for this level movie I think he should a little more practice for his acting level.

    Cute concept and some good parts, but the plot was all over the place. A lot of useless dialogue.
