10 or 15 minutes into this movie, I was pretty disinterested. I kept it on in the background but started answering emails and paying bills and doing other tedious minutiae that I've been putting off. So as not to feel like I wasted an hour and a half of my life watching what seemed to be yet another mostly forgettable gay-themed film.
Well, it turns out I was totally wrong. The scene with Bob and Jim that starts at about an hour and 10 minutes into the movie - and especially a few minutes later when Bob tells Jim about Mike -- that is one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in any movie, ever. The actors are perfect but the main reason they're perfect is because their lines are perfect. The reason I'm writing this review is to say to whoever wrote this scene: you absolutely nailed it. You touched my heart. I watched the last 20 minutes of Beautiful Something 5 times in a row and it made me cry every time.
