BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Paul Dietz The film settles around the topic of relationships, in all aspects, friend, strangers, family, love, (workplace for Eli - where there is no love lost - LOL) It also gives us views in the varying ways relationships work out. Past are the days of your soon to be lover telling of HIV or cheating, comes a new threat on the political front. LMAO was very funny. There are betrayals, forgiveness, laughs, sorrows - all the things that can make up todays complex relationships. And Rob handle them extremely well in a nice tight picture. (Be sure to pay attention to Matt in Eli's office - a very fun moment.) Matthew Montgomery presents a character that many can connect with even if they don't admit it. Moreover, the beauty in his performance is the transfer to that deeper caring man. Playful - compassion - hurt - loved, he tackles these aspects masterly sometimes with just a look, a stroke on the cheek or a smile. He has mastered that talents of acting with the ability to not say allot, but make you feel it all!! Artie O'Daly and Jeremy Lucas give fine support rolls as the side kicks friends and Bret Wolfe gives us a good look at the single side of romancing. After watching be sure to watch the commentary track. It was hilarious. Yes, I am one of the 5 to watch it. Have some drinks ready and settle in as you become privy to their thoughts. Halfway through you feel like your sitting with your own friends. This is a MUST SEE!!

teejay4407 Note: the only "spoiler comment" here is one I've already seen in earlier reviews.There truly is potential here for a great story -- kind of a gay romance version of the Odd Couple. All we need is a clever, creative writer to make it work. The really fun, interesting part of this film, to my mind, should have been showing how these two guys went from point A: meeting and clicking at first sight, but then recognizing that there were certain huge obstacles that stood in the way of any kind of long-term relationship, to Point Z: finding resolution, which, in this case, was marriage. However, you are pretty much left to imagine how they got from A to Z; the script doesn't tell you.In addition, the dialog was rather unimaginative; after nearly every sentence, some little voice in my head said, "Yup--just what I expected." The acting was surprisingly decent, if often lacking in emotional; I kept thinking that had the script been more interesting, the acting would have blossomed nicely, but there wasn't much to get excited about.In spite of all that, because the basic idea is good, I did enjoy watching the movie, which is why I gave it a "7" instead of, say, a "5".

lavarian A truly frightening film. Feels as if it were made in the early '90s by a straight person who wanted to show that gays are good, normal, mainstream-aspiring people. Retrograde to the point of being offensive, LTR suggests that monogamy and marriage are the preferred path to salvation for sad, lonely, sex-crazed gays. Wow! Who knew? The supporting characters are caricatures of gay stereotypes (the effeminate buffoon, the bitter, lonely queen, the fag hag, etc.) and the main characters are milquetoast, middle-class, middlebrow clones, of little interest.As far as the romantic & ideological struggles of the main couple are concerned, there's not much to say: we've seen it all before, and done much better.

bigbro501-1 Long-Term Relationship is one of those films that will go down as a must see for gay film lovers. First off it is very funny. The script is witty at every turn but doesn't lose sight of it's story because of it.The cast is great. The stand out is Mattew Montgomery. He holds the whole film together. With his good looks and quiet charm, Matthew treads along the zany world of his friends and works on getting his long-term relationship perfect. The other characters are pretty well rounded too. And what is a gay film without cute guys? The cast is full of them but as far as cuteness goes, I am partial to Jeremy Lucas who plays Vincent.The romance in the film is so natural. The characters of Glenn and Adam develop a real relationship complete with the way they talk to each other to having relationship rules as well.All and all this is a nice writing and directing debut by Rob Williams. It is an intelligent and funny film about relationships and gay culture. I look forward to seeing other films Rob does.
