CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
giakhalkatsi Shelter is a great film. I'm sad that I just heard about it, wish I knew about it before! It's about love, all kind of love and it's not focused on sex so it's better then most of the LGBT themed movies. I've enjoyed watching it so bad that I'll probably re-watch it again. Like FRIENDS marathon. It shows an independent young man's (Zach's) life, his adventure and talent. What he has done to help his family, how hard he tried to keep everything OK and finally something good (I'd say awesome tho) happens to him. I'll say it's one of the movies you should at least consider watching. And you know for most people LGBT means just having fun and having sex. This movie totally proves it wrong.
Irishchatter I have always thought that Zach was such a good role model for Cody like gee, he was just honestly caring. The little fella that played Cody was adorable with his cute long hair. I say he's not like that anymore unfortunately! Such a great little actor though!I loved how Shaun also took care of Cody. I'm so glad Zach found someone special to him. Life was so hard for Zach, due to his sister not being there for his nephew 24/7 and his father having health issues plus not looking after himself. Cody's father Allen seemed be such a dirt-bag and a selfish pig for not giving love to his own son. It's just awful to see this happening for Cody. I think it's a reflection of kids today not having to spend time with their kids as much as they should. It's very sad.San Pedro seemed such a beautiful city in the film with the ocean nearby. That'll definitely be my list of holidays to go to :DAlso I have something to say, this is the best summery movie I've ever seen, watch it dudes!!!!
Rosie Lorraine It would be easy to see this as just a film about love of two gay men but it has a deeper story of the struggles of love between partner but also family and friends. A Beautiful story of the many kinds of love, the love of two man, the first love, the love between best friends and the love of an less than perfect family. A beautiful story of the struggle and acceptance of love. It has showed the struggle of sexuality without just focusing on the persons struggle to come to turns with ones preference but also the struggle the family put the person through Nice to see a film take on the story of the love of two men, without making light of it, perfect serious story of pure love.A great film, beautiful story with amazing soundtrack.
rathantara This Movie is the only one that I have viewed that has gay main characters that contains no signs of them being effeminate, no mention of the "LGBT" community being "supportive", no sign of loss of masculine emotions, and above all that no hint that they had anal sex...at all... It is stated that they "had sex" or were "fucking", but there were none of the traditionally "LGBT" based signs of it. It is actually quite possible that the type of sexual encounter that they regularly engaged in was non-penetrative. This film, if it were watched by members of the "LGBT" community, would be interpreted a different way, they would say it was the traditional "coming out" story, but that couldn't be further from the truth. This movie is about love between to people who have BOTH just discovered what love was. Shaun is supposedly comfortable with his sexuality, but is initially unwilling to admit he is in love with his brother's best friend because, as the movie shows it was probably the first time he was genuinely in love. Labeling this film as "LGBT-Themed" does not give it justice because it relates directly to the homosexuals and bisexuals who purposefully avoid the "LGBT" community. It is by far my favorite movie because it's story directly relates to anyone who has truly and completely fallen in love.
