Summary: Successful but lonely New York artist Henry Hart (Arye Gross) returns to Big Eden to care for his ailing grandfather and winds up confronting his unrequited passion for his high school best friend and his feelings about being gay in a small town. As Henry works though his emotions, the townspeople quietly conspire to help him along, until Henry realizes new possibilities for both friendship and romance. Eric Schweig and Louise Fletcher also star.

Maybe because previously I didn’t really watch this movie, but my original opinion was that I didn’t like it.  This new viewing game be an entirely different perspective.  It’s not really one of my favorites but I’m not much for the embarassing comedy moments.  This film is well acted and shot.  I really cannot have much if any complaints about this movie.  The only thing I can think of is that the immediate gay acceptance of the little town is unbelievable.  The great thing about this movie.  I don’t care.  It just makes me happy.
