I looked forward to seeing this movie and was dismayed when it came and left Austin with my know it. Austin is a gay friendly city so this was strange
I now know why.
While the acting is good and parts of the film shine. Overall it is poorly written and directed.
It is listed as a comedy. Sorry not true. There may be some humorous parts but the are few a far between. It seems John Butler really doesn't know how to do funny.
As for as directing his constantly letting glare distracts from the film. I'm sure he thought it was purposeful, but it was a distraction.
I suggest on his next project he seriously considers a cowriter and maybe a different director.
