I was anxious to go to the LGBT film festival, but I am glad I did. As well as some other titles, Were The World Mine is an amazing film. However, it did have its short-comings. The actors were brilliant, for the most part. Much better than I was expecting. After seeing a few of the shorts at the festival, I really wasn't expecting to be blown away by the cast. They did an astounding job. Even the slightly over-the-top Robie. The music. WOW, the music. I can honestly say that Were the World Mine has some of the best ORIGINAL music for any musical that has come out in a very long time. Tanner Cohen has an amazing voice, as well as the rest of the cast. There wasn't a single person that I thought didn't belong in a musical role. The dancing could have used work. The choreography was very nice, but I there were scenes where I thought "Ouch. It's called synchronization, fellas." The biggest dent in this movie, for me, was the end. I am happy with it, but I think it needed more explanation. It didn't entirely convince me. It was like the spell was still in effect. And that put the biggest damper on the film for me. I can connect the dots on my own, but I would like to be reassured.
All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Were the World Mine. You won't be disappointed, too much.
