Editorial Reviews:

Logan is a soft spoken and lonely 13 year old boy with a crush. Unlike his equally lonely friend Joey, who obsesses over the sexual exploits of the popular boys, Logan is fixated on the boys themselves, particularly Rodeo Walker. Logan's infatuation with Rodeo inspires him to create a new persona named Leah. Leah and Rodeo grow close through whispered late night phone calls, and when Leah agrees to meet Rodeo face to face it is Logan who must finally prove that he can ask for what he so achingly wants.

Summary: Expecting conformity in art?
Comment: Unlike the other 'critics' here, I found this film quirky and ultimately refreshing. The director isn't trying "too hard to make a art house film", rather, he's made something unusually refreshing without blood gore. Since when are art house films supposed to be predictable and pat? Given that the boy's mother is queen of the 'double bind'- "I love you/I hate you", he's desperately trying to deal with that and his burgeoning gay sexuality. Maybe most people in America are now so sated that they are expecting some patent commonalty in gay, coming of age films. The gay community both old and young are about DIVERSITY, not cookie cutting conformity even in how we develop our individual sexualities. My childhood was not like this boy's, but still I empathize with exactly what he went through. What may put off a lot of the viewers is the fact that the boy's fantasies are intermixed with his actual physical reality. That worked in "My Life In Pink", it works here and I think over all the movie is brilliantly posed and executed. Even the very ending was enchanting where the boy waves and runs up the hill like a bunny, how could you not love him?

Summary: Think Twice Before Buying!
Comment: This movie is even more muddled and hard to follow than most customer reviews tend to indicate. As a fan of foreign films, I am accustomed to storylines that do not follow the Hollywood formula, but didn't just abandon the formula, it was painful to watch. Some scenes were so odd that I have to wonder what the director was thinking, while others clearly didn't play out as the director intended. The pacing was glacial, the acting was stiff and wooden and the characters were two dimensional bordering on stereotypical. Save your money and buy this one at a yard sale for 50 cents.

Summary: a very slice-of-life movie i suppose
Comment: this movie was not bad to watch, it just didn't captivate me. it felt like the very slice-of-life movie that it was, with all of the context an observer would have if they just randomly popped into your life too. i guess it was about how horrible middle school is. it was nothing special.

Summary: An insightful, wonderful film.
Comment: If you enjoy films about the awkward path of adolesence, this movie is for you. It doesn't hurt that the GORGEOUS Patrick White co-stars as the boy the main character has a crush on.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A Must-See
Comment: This is a classic film with a slightly fresh angle. The subject is classic a parental custody battle over a boy that both parents love. The lack of over-sentimentality combined with its natural acting makes it one of my top favorites! The movie carefully and cleverly places the "gay" issue in the background while subtly exploring the father-son relationship as well as marriage. It is truly worth your time.
