Awesome film


From the dialogue, the humor, the drama, the storyline, the consmate acting.
It's a tearjerker twice in a row of 2 scenes at the end.
I love Matt Lillard as Mike. He makes going whacko over not ever knowing your daddy believable!
I love when Stewart branches out from the hum drum sci fi. He is such a talented stage actor, which many Big Bang Theory 20-somethings don't know or care to know.
Patrick is very smart.
Do the sci fi. Make the cash (off these Big Bang twits), then do theater and Indies because you really enjoy it.
Love love love you Patrick!
The only thing I disagree with, dialogue-wise, is that Tobi was not homosexual. He was bi-sexual. Happily married to a woman. Monagamously. Later divorced her. Later went promiscuously with women and men. The film did not mention any monogamous male relationships though.
That is not homosexual and I wish people would stop calling it that.
The only true homosexuals are men who never slept with women by choice or men who slept with women to cover up the fact that they were gay, but had no sexual interest whatsoever in them.
How hard is that for people and screenwriters to understand for goodness sake??!!

YES! The best film my husbanderama and I have seen in ages!

My take on the sexual identity labeling is that Mike became a macho cop in compensation for being fatherless and in order to provide his single Mom a tough male figure. From his narrow and wounded perspective, a globe-trotting gadabout of a male dancer who'd abandoned Mom had to be a *beep*

Clearly Tobi lived in an age (the 60's) and a career (dance) where sexual license was common, and by his own admission he'd experiment across the spectrum. So he and Tobi bandied about the fag label, but, when all was said and done, Tobi himself chose to marry a woman. So yes, he was bi at best.

I think that the homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual gets to define themselves who they are. You seem to be speaking from a very black and white world, and the world of sexuality is nothing if not gray.
