The premise is a familiar one that we’ve seen in romantic comedies about straight couples. Two best friends make a pact that if they are still single in ten years, they will try to settle down together, even though they don’t seem especially compatible. Myles (Jack Turner) is a lawyer and a hopeless romantic who dreams of cooking dinner for Mr. Right. Brody (Michael Adam Hamilton) is a cop who revels in one-night stands. Cut to nine years and eleven months later. As the deadline approaches, they try desperately to avoid the commitment they promised rather cavalierly.
Writer-director J.C. Calciano is obviously hoping to craft a gay variation on a classic romantic comedy. But where is Philip Barry when you need him? Today’s writers, gay or straight, fail to match the sparkling, witty dialogue that seemed to flow effortlessly from the pens of many writers in past decades. Plot complications also seem to confound the filmmaker. There’s the potential for humor when Myles and Brody both end up dating the same guy (Adam Bucci), but the explosive comic climax that we anticipate never materializes.

Supporting characters also stir memories of vintage romantic comedies. Myles’ law partner (Teri Reeves) is the kind of salty but supportive pal who’s been in dozens of other movies, but she needs better wisecracks. The best character is Brody’s straight partner on the police force, who’s surprisingly tolerant and even insightful about gay relationships.

Moronai Kanekoa, who plays the straight cop, also gives the best performance in the movie. The two leads are photogenic but not really charismatic. Hamilton has a winning smile, and Turner looks good in his skivvies, yet they struggle to bring any panache to their quips.

I honestly felt this movie was uplifting. Brody and Myles were just adorable together right from the start. Yes I thought Brody was stupid for trying to get him to like him by sleeping with his suppose date Hunter! However, he went through the trouble in getting the right guy for Myles by pulling lots of guys out of Grindr. Although I think it’s not the answer to finding a prince charming there but it works for some people!

I loved Diane, she was such a good friend to Myles like she was always there for him too. I say she would cheer anyone up with her craziness! Although she tends to go over the top but that’s OK, she’s just awesome!

I really think this should be in any cinemas near you because there’s not any good movie as this screening in a typical cinema. It would really hit more awards, I feel it!

Well done to JC Calciano and Matthew Solari for making this movie happen!
