Oddly awesome...

OK, so to be truthful, i only started watching this movie because i saw Erin Kelly is in it (love Loving Annabelle). Little did i know she was in the beginning for like a minute. Oh well. The thing is, i forgot it was a musical until they started singing. And then i wanted to keep watching. At times it is admittedly painful to watch, bad lip syncing, daisy's voice for her "musical" numbers don't really fit her natural voice. Tho at the end i was impressed with the bands final number bc you can believe its really her. Easily my favorite song. I thought the acting was good, the songs were mostly great, tho sometimes a little weird. Heres why i like this movie so much tho. It made me smile and laugh out loud. Monique Jones is a hilariously bad over the top bad guy/gal. This movie is not serious at all, nor do i think it tries to be. Its just fun to watch.

Sigh... happy sigh.

I have not had a movie touch me like this one in a very long time. This is not only my new favorite lesbian movie, it is one of my new favorite movies ever. I go thru long periods of not watching gay films because of they tend to just be really bad and disappointing. Of course i have my favorites, who doesn't? This movie on the other hand, absolutely blew me away. I read another review that mentions Tyler as being campy and a bit silly, but he is one of the best parts of this movie. I thought it was a very clever way to remind the audience that love can come from where you least expect it. This movie made me smile, and cry, then smile, then cry again at the end, then laugh at myself for being such a hopeless romantic. Im glad that the husband wasn't portrayed as "evil" or anything like that. He was just a guy who loved a woman who didn't love him back. It does make you feel a little bad for him, esp me who went thru what Nash went thru with my mom, minus the lesbian part, lol.

SPOILER:

But not bad enough to not be ecstatic about who ends up with who.

And omg, the best first kiss on screen. EVER.
