A modern take on the Harold and Maude theme from a more modern viewpoint. The lead character is eye candy, fun to watch and has decent acting skills. This tale is fun to watch.
The cute couple's relationship is complex, twisted and endearing, something difficult to capture on film. Both seem to tread through life learning about themselves and their desires, exploring their sexuality and both seem content to be with each other while they try and comprehend their fascinations/fetishes.
As they delve deeper into their extracurricular activities they seem to drift apart while struggling with their own ability to make sense of themselves.
As Lake absorbs himself with Melvyn, he falls deeper into the relationship until he's outed by his coworker while Melvyn health takes a turn for the worse. It doesn't help his mom works for the same old folks home and goes ballistic when she finds out Lake's affair with Melvyn.
To squash the relationship the home drugs Melvyn into a cathartic state which angers and confuses Lake.
Everyone around Lake goes insane except Lake who initially denies the relationship but then frees his object of desire by kidnapping him with the help of his girlfriend.
As in Harold and Maude, Lake wants to free Melvyn so he can experience his last wishes all with the girlfriend's support.
This modern take on an old tale is very well done in the true BLB style.
