Warning: Spoilers
I must have missed something here. I was able to follow the plot and the main characters, but I kept waiting for an exciting moment to happen that, for me, never happened. I don't know if this was supposedly based on a true story. If so, and if it was truthful, perhaps this gent's story just didn't blow my skirt up. If not, the writer(s) need(s) to consider something with more teeth. Sorry, but as a viewer, I was thoroughly underwhelmed. The performances were just ok. The sets and scenery were brutal, as I'm sure they were intended to be, so I'll give them points for that.

----SPOILER ALERT------

The romance was really cliche and has been done so many times, I yawned my way through it. So the main character is a Boy On The Side and his very handsome, closeted boyfriend chooses to stay with his wife and kids instead of leaving them for a heavy drinking, heavy drugging, pushing-forty-something whose mission in life is to be the Liberace of the Mexican professional wrestling circuit. I'm shocked. It was presented as if the only thing the main character had to offer his boyfriend was a sexual outlet. He never stood a chance. ZZZzzzzz. I really don't get the positive reviews, but to each their own.
