Sheesh. The trailer looks completely different in look and feel from the short. The short seemed so real, so interesting, and relatable.

One gay character? Please. I'm waiting to see a flick with many gay and straight characters interacting normally. Until then, I prefer the best of queer film: Adam and Steve, All Over The Guy, Trick, Circuit, etc... I’m sorry, but it sounds tired. One gay character? Please.

The original was all about the two guys, but for some reason, it became about Alexa. I was very disappointed. But I guess this is how the Industry works.

You said we should be supporting it because it portrayed gay characters realistically (In your opinion,) you then went on to Trumpet Bernhard and Cumming as gay icons. You then attacked people for not liking the film, you then attacked me. Rather than worrying about the state of gays you should worry about your bitchy reactions to freak out and attack anybody that doesn't agree with you. Rather than being intelligent, perhaps you are just limited in your experience. The fact remains, that just because you think this movie was great there are plenty out there that might hate it and you taking off your panties and throwing them at people while crying your eyes out isn't going to change that.

If you take every comment made by an iconoclast literally, you are going through life sadly misinformed. Umm, did you not read my post SPINDOC?

We should be supporting inclusive films that depict a gay character realistically. I saw this film at Sundance--one of the best films of the year. It is not at all what you'd expect. I have a feeling ENEMABAG didn't see it. The kids are not all straight. And it couldn't be farther from Gossip Girl. And Cumming and Bernhard are queer icons--and critically respected artists. God the state of the gays online is sorry-ass. Who are you people?? Damn you gays are snarky and nasty. We should be supporting inclusive films that depict a gay character realistically.

Haven't seen it, but from the interview I'm getting the idea that it's another one of those, Gay guy and his best girlfriend fall for the same guy who makes out with both of them because he just wants to be loved. I think Coling Farrell already played that role a decade ago. I’m nervous.

The short was excellent and frankly, shouldn't have been messed with. It was like taking Annie Proulx's heart-wrenching story and turning it into a steaming pile.

A bunch of straight kids pretending to be grown up. It was like one long episode of "Gossip Girl". And as far as casting, I have yet to know anyone involved in casting who isn't biased towards one particular sexuality when casting a gay themed film. That's why I left the industry years ago.

Why did the author attempt to project the lives of film characters onto the actors' lives repeatedly? "Was the sexual exploration of the kids in DARE similar to her own high school experience?" By doing this, the author adds to the stereotype that if an actor plays something on the screen, she/he must be or experienced that in real life. Fantasy does not equal reality. Projecting much?
