A wannabe journey of self discovery of a man questioning his sexuality, this film is a mix of poor and odd screenplay and some genuinely bad acting. It's like an amateur film maker tried to take real events and create a movie but butchered it in execution. The film is known by two titles for some reason.
Lawyer Issac lives with his sister Emily in a house given to them by their adoptive parents. Both these individuals have some kind of childhood trauma which we don't get into details till later. Issac has a girlfriend but he always looks for excuses to not get intimate. His friends have always suspected he is gay, but he refuses it. Enter Mark, the new gorgeous roommate and before you know Issac and Mark are now a couple. Just when Issac thinks he has found happiness, two secrets come for fore. Emily and Issac find out that their adoptive father was the one abusing them as kids after their biological mother couldn't pay his fees after her run from her abusive husband. Second, it turns out that Mark is married and has a son. Why and how is he their roommate is never explained. Issac is initially heartbroken but he decides to take revenge on Mark and not leave him in peace. In the most bizarre series of events that lead to a botched up climax, Mark and his wife die in a car accident and magically in his will, he leaves his son for Issac who is more than happy to raise him.
Your surprise is as weird and genuine as mine when the climax and the weird ending happening. I was like WTF! Isaac's weird confrontation was so out of hand, why did he have the need to confront Mark when they were clearly not his issues? As if acting by Issac wasn't bad enough, the dialogues were cringe worthy from pretty much everyone. I mean, clearly everyone was just acting without feeling. It has that typical lousy piano music between every scene, that typical sound that is so common with bad television movies. The only real good thing about this film was Mark. Extremely gorgeous, acted well and was the only saving grace of this baffling screenplay and film. Emily's character was half baked, the whole camaraderie between Issac and his friends was all made up and didn't seem natural at all. An uninspiring film, which can be easily missed, only if not for the gorgeous Mark. (3/10)
