And so is this movie... Uneven that is. There are some great, sweet romantic moments and then there are some that you just have to grit your teeth and endure until the movie gets back to being the kind of sappy love story that you love.
Some of the lines are wonderful and the situation is a somewhat cyber-twist on the old Cyrano dilemma, but the main characters are all likable and pretty to look at.
I would have rated this movie a bit higher but there are just some plot holes and clunky moments that are impossible to ignore. First, the character of Bob, the editor of USA toGay (Or should that be tooGay?) is grating and way over the top in every scene that he's in. I'm guessing that he must had a hand in financing the film. There's no other excuse that I can think of to let him chew the scenery and to have totally unnecessary scenes in an otherwise charming movie.
Second, there's a large plot hole in an otherwise credible storyline in that Xander fails to recognize which guy that he's meeting is Blain after speaking to him on the phone for six hours. This is a plot hole that could have easily been filled in any number of ways. They could have simply chatted on-line for six hours, they could have shortened the length of time, they could have complained about the phone connection; but gimme a break. After speaking with someone on the telephone for six hours one would recognize a voice, and if not a voice, at least an inflection and manner of speaking.
However, overall one can chalk those plot holes up to this being a low-budget film and continue to enjoy the story. I'd recommend this film to friends and would even enjoy seeing it again. I'll just have to fast forward past Bob.
