WARNING: There is NO love triangle in this movie whatsoever!

I watched this movie because the imdb plot says it's about a love triangle.
Well, forget it - that is totally not true. One boy and one girl have a relationship. One other boy is a mutual friend. A fourth boy is being used by that boy to get him drugs (from the pharmacy where the fourth boy works).

A love triangle means that (in this case) two boys are in love too. The opposite is true. They are a bunch of totally hetero sexual macho's without ANY kind of attraction, and actually not even a real friendship.

I thought the love triangle was supposed to be between Jonah, Sara,and her boyfriend troy, however I didn't see the movie

Umm, that is not the definition of a love triangle. A love triangle would be (for example) 2 guys going after the same girl, and probably her liking both guys. Like:
....Girl

Guy 1...Guy 2
Triangle!

Im pretty sure that homosexuality isnt a pre requesite for a love triangle .. the way you are defining one it would be a requirement .. A love triangle only requires that two people both be in love with one person .. and that person has not made a clear cut decision between the two yet ..

Once that person makes a choice .. it becomes a couple and a scorned lover ..

Im sorry that there wasnt any homosexuality in this movie for you .. In the future dont assume that when you see the phrase "love triangle" that you are gonna get to see some man love .. Its not implied .. I recommend "Dream Boy" 2008 by the description it should deliver for you .

"""A love triangle only requires that two people both be in love with one person .. and that person has not made a clear cut decision between the two yet .."""

Nope, because your definition excludes love triangles where person A loves person B, person B loves person C (and sometimes, person C loves person A).

It's really best to say that a love triangle is a web of feelings that may or may not be reciprocated involving three persons.
