This is a very sympathetic movie en I really enjoyed watching it, it's a gay coming-out type of movie, thank God without all the usual tragedies like bullying or AIDS, etcetera. As a matter of fact, there are hardly any complications or twists or turns, which is at the same time a bit of a drawback: the story is almost too simple and uneventful. Both boys (who are supposed to be opposites: one well-behaved and quiet, the other more streetwise and impetuous) circle some time around each other, and then (predictably) they hit it off and develop a romantic love-affair. It's only in the last ten minutes that a little hick-up arises, which within the flick of a wrist is solved and everyone lives happily ever after.
Personally I had liked it all to have been a bit more complex, they could have done more with the supposed differences between the boys, for instance making the one more defiant and the other more hesitating or scared, it would have made for a slightly more multilayered story.
Anyway, there's lots of humor, albeit of the more juvenile kind (like the scenes with the love-smitten neighbor girl or with the fat landlady), the two boys are good-looking and both act well, especially Paulo Sousa, and there are some surprisingly steamy but sensitive scenes of making out, with ample naked skin. The whole thing seems to be aimed not so much at an adult audience as at teens, it's actually lgbt-sex-education of the sweetest and most endearing kind!
