Richard Ruccolo was YUMMY in this


Richard Ruccolo (the actor who played Tom) was so good in this part. Completely believable and played gay incredibly well (for example, he didn't seem to feel awkard about kissing this guy who played Eli, even though he's not exactly attractive). He seemed natural, likeable and well, really hunky. I completely bought him in this part. Not so much the Eli guy, I would've gone with someone else, but, oh well. Really, what got me seeing this movie was how stunning Ruccolo looked, so incredibly rugged and sexy, but still had this cute puppy kind-of-look that makes you wanna pull on his cheeks. *sigh* Anyway, I'm glad he was SO hot, because he was the reason I was pulled in to see this movie, and I'm really glad I did because it was a really nice, sweet, feel-good romantic-comedy. I really enjoyed the whole film and how it was showed in flashbacks, their friends performances (especially Adam Goldberg and Esposito), it was really funny and it also made you sad in some others and well, you were kind of rooting for Tom and Eli to happen the entire time. I'm glad it all ended out well at the end, they got together in the most tender way, and the movie ended without any tragedy (someone dying, someone getting AIDS, which is so common in gay-themed movies). Overall, the movie was very good, I enjoyed it and I'd gladly see it again, even if it's just to glance at Richard Ruccolo. The actor playing Eli, really didn't do much for me, and it kills me because this was such a good movie and this Ruccolo dude was really HOT, they should've gotten someone more attractive for it to be a cute couple, or at least to balance it out. This Eli guy just looked like and older, more gaunt Andy Dick. Maybe someone with the looks of Matt Long would've been better and the movie would've been PERFECT in my book (hahaha). Just fantasizing, but anyway, go see this movie.

Richard Ruccolo is indeed delectable in this (even if his romance with Dan Bucatinsky's Eli isn’t completely believable). I especially love the flea market scene—when he turns his baseball cap around. Raaar.
