Product Description
How far would you go to win back the love of your life? Perhaps send flowers, write poetry or even serenade that man of your dreams until he can take it no more? Paul, our hot but self-centered hero has other, more extreme ideas when sensitive hunk Brad drops him and begins dating another man. Not used to losing and determined to regain his love, Paul decides to pretend to have a life-threatening illness in what he sees as a foolproof method in ensuring Brad s return. But will it work or will the tangled web he weaves get him in hot water rather than in to the arms of his hot man? Populated by outrageous characters, this fun romantic comedy is a truly off the wall take on what one man would really do for love.

This tells the story of Paul (Benjamin Lutz) he has lost his boyfriend through a breach of trust and can't get over it. So after more than a year (that is two in gay years for those not in the know) he decides to get his man back.
The problem is he works with his ex Brad (John Werskey) in an advertising company. Brad has moved on and is dating bi guy Ted (Jackson Palmer). He also does some social work at a local clinic run by his life long doctor friend Dr, Bert Halper. Whilst there he realises that if you are ill, people naturally let you get away with stuff and rally around. So you can guess what he does. He bribes his friend to invent that he has the `c' word yes crabs, sorry no cancer.
As word spreads he is soon inundated with well wishers which also includes his larger than life mother, millionaire, nymphomaniac, sister and the much desired Brad. As the deception piles up so does the stress and the humour levels.
Well this is a comedy and there are quite a few laughs but not enough to give you face ache. There is some nudity but nothing to make your auntie have to leave the room or to require that emergency Kleenex be on hand. Director Michael Simon has made a warm, human and moral tale that balances the gross lie with a human narrative that pulls you along for the journey rather than forcing it on you. Its just over an hour and a half long - which is about perfect for this type of tale. It wont change your life but it should put a smile on your face.

At last Gay films are no longer low budget filmed in someones front room! This is one for a bottle of wine on a winters eve to leave you with that warm feeling inside. Its funny and as always leaves you with that....well what happens at the end feeling, leaving you to make up your own ending.

1. The whole idea of pretending having cancer to get your bf back (sick, especially for people, who experienced cancer in their families). Why not pretending being HIV+? That could be a "nice" story too:(
And the perfect bf who takes him back over and over again? Who in real world would be soooo naive and trust such egoist and mind-player again?
2. What is the message that the director put in the film? That cheating does pay off? That people without any morals are more likely to succeed? Or maybe the one that a lot of gay people are sociopath?
I know it was supposed to be just a comedy, but even then I expect something more from a motion picture than a few handsome bodies.
Anyway,
2. acting in 85% time of the film is really pathethic. The only parts I enjoyed were the characters of the old doc and the dumb Ted (playing not a bright person isn't all that difficult, is it?).
The rest of the cast members is wooden.
The only reason I highered my rating were the last 2 minutes of this film. A positive message that gays could also be foster parents.
