Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
gregkae Very sad joke, uncomfortable to watch like a colostomy bag. Was it shot with a hand-held? I know 16 year olds who urinate with better script ideas.The steaming pile of crap that is the plot of this garbage centers around an amnesiac man. I am sure that after it got released the actor wished the memory loss had carried over to the real life.I realise it was supposed to be a gay harlequin type of movie, shame they targeted the geriatric audience, who due to Alzheimer's, for sure can relate.Stay away, save yourself time, do not count on the one cringeworthy love making scene or you'll wish to lose memory yourselves.
leeharmony This is a gem of a movie. A friend just lent me the DVD even though it came out about 3 years ago. I really didn't know what to expect because he didn't say anything about it.It has a combination of mystery, romance and a bit of comedy. I like the how storyline progresses and the mystery unfolds. The two lead characters, Drew and Mark, are adorable as the actors who play them. I also enjoyed the music as well.I went and bought the DVD for myself to watch again (and again). I especially enjoyed the commentary track on the DVD, but I recommend just enjoying the movie the first time around. It's interesting to hear about the scenes and the thoughts from the director, producer and the actor who plays Mark.
jimbenben Several comments mention being drawn to this movie by the photograph of the two men embracing that is shown in the poster and on the DVD cover. But those are not the men actually in the film, are they? I mildly enjoyed this movie, but then I watched it again with the audio commentary from the director and actor (the one who played Mark), and I felt sort of insulted. It's one thing to talk about their shoe-string budget, which leads to numerous "bloopers" like props lying in the background and even another film production crew shown filming at the same hospital location. But when they talk about the weak story-line and writing (for example, laughing about the mysterious "amnesia" that is at the heart of the story), then they've lost me. Low-budget or not, they knew they were making junk and are disrespectful of their audience.
k_rchfld I have to say I really, really enjoyed this film. I rented this because I wanted to watch a "boy meets boy" movie with none of the stereotypes and clichés that have been present in many other gay themed movies. I most definitely was not disappointed. I wasn't going in thinking that this would have a multi-million dollar budget or big name stars. If that's what you're looking for, then you may be disappointed. Comparing this film to a major studio movie wouldn't be fair because this film didn't have or even need the big budget to be great. The story is simple, but very well written, has fine acting, and you find yourself really caring about the characters, especially the main two. Aaron Orr's performance of Drew is particularly moving because of his angelic yet masculine appeal. You feel his loneliness and his need for love and companionship. Matthew Montgomery is also great as the lost and confused young man. If you're looking for a story that will touch your heart because you can relate to the characters and honestly want things to turn out for them, then see this film. I was thinking about the characters long after the closing credits, and that's what makes a film special. In short, "Gone, but not Forgotten" is of sorts a "Cinderella story" for gay men. And it's been a long time coming. Thank you Michael Akers and Sandon Berg for giving us this film. Considering all of the factors, it is a wonderful achievement.
