Ok the film could have been a feel good movie, not a particularly good one but a decent Sunday evening movie, the kind of thing you watch when you're tired or hungover. But that film doesn't know wether it is a musical, a comedy or a drama or all those thing in one strong piece of original film. It's starts as a comedy then ends up being a lousy drama. BUT the worse thing is that the characters aren't plausible. Antonio is Lorenzo's friend, knows form the start his friend is gay, he has a crush himself on their girl friend and that from that one kiss and petting he turns into being a self hating gay who cares about what other people think. I mean their friendship was about not giving a damn what other people think. I could excuse this, why not, Antonio could be shocked after all and be pissed off, beat his friend up ... regret or stop seeing him ... but he goes as far as shooting him dead and that's was is wrong. Killing off a gay character to get people to be moved and shed a few tear in 2016, is wrong, low and cheap. Another typical BURY YOUR GAY film, like we don't have enough of those. That film isn't meant to be either realistic, doesn't talk about a real event, so why killing off a strong gay character who despite being bullied remains strong and positive? ... and worse for worse by his best friend? The people who committed this film had the perfect opportunity to give a positive message, that is what they actually did through 3/4 of the film, but then they sacrificed this for some cheap thrills and get people some easy tears ... that's not only LOW but dangerous ... enough with killing off gay characters ... other than that the film is entertaining but uneven, a bit awkward at times, the acting is so so and the dialogues are sometimes off ... the cinematography is similar to a cheap tv movie ... a massive disappointment.
