The subject matter is a poor choice for this film. Based on the synopsis I'm not sure why I bought it to be honest.
Successful executive Benjamin Lutz ("Paul") is in love with his ex "Brad" (John Werskey) and so to try and win him back he fakes having cancer. Unfortunately for him, his announcement not only brings his ex running, but a whole assortment of friends and family that he hadn't banked on!
The unanimous reaction after most of us walked out after the screening of the film was 'It was so bad'. A few of us looked at each other and remarked how could this film have been in the top 10 favorites of the festival committee but then hey everyone has their own choices.
I loved the film. It's like a mainstream romantic-comedy except the leads happen to be two HOT (masculine) gay dudes who have a cool ying and yang thing going on.
A previous reviewer must be somehow related to this film. I saw this at Qfest in Philadelphia.
"The Love Patient"WonderfulAmos LassenI just read two of the scathing reviews posted here about this film and I am convinced that the reviewers and I did not see the same film. If we did, they obviously were not watching.
...without the humor.
I don't know what the problem is with some of the other reviewers, but based on their comments that they saw it at QFest, I'm guessing something along the lines of "jealousy" would be appropriate.
This movie had been recommended by friends for me to watch and so I rented it from Amazon.com.
