What Happens Next (2011) EDIT “There's a sweet story buried in there about a man in his mid-50s finally coming into his own, but it's mired under attempts at edgy humor that really come off as regressive.” – Film Inquiry Oct 23, 2021 Full Review Pit Stop (2013) 100% EDIT “A very well-acted, slow burn of a film. Although, it is occasionally too slow I appreciated its lack of drama and pretense in favor of a more simple, slice-of-life story about two men coming together amidst the backdrop of their small town.” – Film Inquiry Oct 2, 2021 Full Review Jitters (2010) EDIT “Jitters is an enjoyable, but very dramatic movie that's definitely worth a watch.” – Film Inquiry Sep 18, 2021 Full Review Best Day Ever (2014) EDIT “Extremely long scenes, flat lighting, a lack of blocking, and a meandering story all come together to create this dull, tired movie.” – Film Inquiry Sep 4, 2021 Full Review Longhorns (2011) EDIT “This movie is terrible. There really isn't that much else to say. It's barely even a movie.” – Film Inquiry Aug 21, 2021 Full Review Is It Just Me? (2010) EDIT “It has its charms and you might even enjoy watching it, but part of your enjoyment will derive from trying to understand just why anything is happening.” – Film Inquiry Jul 31, 2021 Full Review Like It Is (1998) 13% EDIT “The plotting and pacing are occasionally clunky, and you can see the film's made-for-tv trappings, but the cast does a great job with the material.” – Film Inquiry Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Fair Haven (2016) EDIT “Although it occasionally has pacing problems and loses some steam in the third act, it is ultimately a well-done indie film.” – Film Inquiry Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Five Dances (2013) 62% EDIT “While the plot is not the most revolutionary, and the film at times feels slight, the dancing is absolutely wonderful to watch.” – Film Inquiry May 19, 2021 Full Review My Big Gay Italian Wedding (2018) 71% EDIT “I did ultimately enjoy this movie. I just wish it had gone through another revising where Camilla was completely removed from the story.” – Film Inquiry May 5, 2021 Full Review Big Eden (2000) 64% EDIT “There could have been a really cute movie in here, but it gets hampered down by its own clunkiness.” – Film Inquiry Apr 7, 2021 Full Review Just Friends (2018) EDIT “This is a fun, sexy, rom-com. It loses a little steam in the second half when it veers away from its more comedic elements, but it's still a worthwhile watch.” – Film Inquiry Mar 23, 2021 Full Review Akron (2015) 50% EDIT “Overall it's a cute film that loses steam in the midsection, as it does veer a little too much into melodramatic territory that never quite figures out how to ground itself.” – Film Inquiry Feb 23, 2021 Full Review Private Romeo (2011) 55% EDIT “While certain aspects, like the interspersed Youtube videos, feel a little clunky, overall the end product is well worthwhile. Add to that, a wonderfully talented cast makes this movie worth a watch.” – Film Inquiry Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Saving Face (2004) 88% EDIT “Saving Face is a beautifully crafted movie about the fight between family tradition and finding a new way for yourself.” – Film Inquiry Dec 30, 2020 Full Review From Beginning to End (2009) EDIT “In addition to portraying a romance that is toxic and obsessive, this movie is actually really boring.” – Film Inquiry Dec 16, 2020 Full Review The 10 Year Plan (2014) EDIT “It's a cute, sweet movie that - if rom-coms are something you enjoy - is a good one to watch.” – Film Inquiry Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Latter Days (2004) 44% EDIT “It's not a bad movie, but it's also not great. If you're feeling nostalgic for early aughts movies like She's All That, then this is for you.” – Film Inquiry Oct 20, 2020 Full Review The Perfect Wedding (2012) EDIT “The Perfect Wedding is what you would get if Hallmark decided to make a gay Christmas movie, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's a sweet, inoffensive piece of white bread.” – Film Inquiry Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Mambo Italiano (2003) 30% EDIT “With an entire cast of characters who are not the most likable, and romances that are far from believable, this movie leaves much to be desired.” – Film Inquiry Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Plan B (2009) EDIT “At the end of the day, it's a sweet little story that turns a familiar plot on its head in a positive way.” – Film Inquiry Aug 25, 2020 Full Review Maurice (1987) 82% EDIT “With a stellar cast and the beautiful cinematography, a benchmark of the Merchant Ivory productions, on full display, Maurice is well worth the watch.” – Film Inquiry Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Arizona Sky (2008) EDIT “A perfect entry in the add your own commentary track genre of films. This movie is hilariously bad.” – Film Inquiry Jul 28, 2020 Full Review The Way He Looks (2014) 93% EDIT “The Way He Looks is a poignant coming-of-age movie with an incredibly sweet romance at its core.” – Film Inquiry Jul 14, 2020 Full Review Going Down in LA-LA Land (2011) 67% EDIT “Going Down in La-La Land was a surprisingly entertaining film, a pretty solid indie.” – Film Inquiry Jun 30, 2020 Full Review
