I've been watching a lot of gay movies recently and this one is the worst so far. I like slow movies with moments to think and with only a few characters, but this one was even for me too much. Empty scenes and silence are only good if there is a meaning behind it. The whole story seemed pointless and so did most of the scenes. The close ups of the guys crotches were so overdone (we get it- it's a gay movie). Everything in this movie seemed to be shot for the sake of looking artistic or deep. But they just copied the outer shell of such movies and wrapped their hollow story with it. So now we have something that seems like someone's first try. There was no chemistry between these guys. I just couldn't buy it. Their relationship is based on what? On not talking to each other and weirdly looking at each other body parts? At one moment it seemed like half the movie these guys are drying themselves with a towel! There are just too many unnecessary scenes in this movie. I think the most important thing to start a relationship is to enjoy each other's company, to laugh, have fun and TALK. The guys don't know anything about each other. After 2,3 weeks this guy asks the other- hey, what are you writing? Come on! And the last scene was unexplained (I guess because of lazy writing) and totally not-magical or romantic. The guy disappeared for a while and suddenly appeared again and had nothing to say. And the kissing scenes were really bad. The movie could have been so much more.

It's not a comedy. Don't believe what they tell you. It's a drama. The story is just fine, nothing special. You can't see the reason why this guy wants to end his life. He doesn't seem as depressed as he should and people who really want to kill themselves won't bother to "clean up their past", because they wouldn't want to get out of bed. The gay side story seemed interesting, but also a little forced- like it had to be in the movie to show how modern and liberal it is (I think this is happening quite often in movies these days). The movie seemed like it was written by a politically correct mother. It was emotional and it covered all kinds of people, like a gay teenager, a fat mother who was once hot, an ex bully, who found the right path and his dawn syndrome kid, and so on... So, you can watch it if you're bored. Some scenes are really nice to watch (like the main character floating in the water), but you won't miss anything if you don't.

At the beginning the movie seemed quite interesting, but then the plot happened. It's not that i expected the most beautiful love story of all time, but at least something decent. The "scientific explanation" was silly and unnecessary. I mean lightning- how original, nobody ever explained super powers with lightning. A magical potion or door would have been more believable. Then- the police officer who calls the FBI immediately, just because a 45 year old women looks like 30-35?! I mean come on.. It's not like she was 70 at the time. Even without plastic surgery, there are people who look younger. And even then, nobody thought, that it could be a typo or something? Then, the love story with the long- hair- guy. It's just stupid. I can't even say it's clishee, because clishee would have been better. They tried to make the characters seem interesting and their dates so original, but the lack of chemistry, emotions and a normal human conversation made those scenes look completely implausible. I would rather see them go to a date to a fast food restaurant and talk about politics and the weather than this. What do we know about the guy? He's a stalker, he likes unusual girls, because- omg, she's reading braille and isn't blind, that's so cool! And he's rich, of course. His lines to hit on her were like he found them by googling "interesting facts to say on a date". It seemed like they didn't talk about anything personal, anyone's life, world views, likes and dislikes, but about random knowledge you find at the end of the newspaper. And she..after living for such a long time, it would be nice to see, not just how much random stuff she learned, but to see her wisdom or the typical old people's grumpiness, but no. She acts like she's 20 and just started her life and didn't figure out how to live with someone- not because she will loose him, but because the FBI scared her with their unsuccessful one time visit. And after a week or a month she loves the stalker guy?! The love story with her father was way better and had some real potential. I mean the guy named a comet after her! If that's not romantic..no. I would have rather seen her run away with him. But the young looking pretty girl can't ditch the young pretty guy for an old guy. And then, the electricity undoing her super power just because electricity is magical- what to say?! The last scene was hilarious- the narrator really had to explain to us, that a grey hair means she's getting old :D Just in case stupid people won't get how brilliant the movie really is. As far as the lines and chemistry goes, the narrator could have talked through the whole movie and explain to us how they loved each other and how touching everything is.
