I don't really care about geography. I already have an A in Geography, so... I thought about joining this club for a while just to make friends, but... I was scared. I know people laugh at me. I'm not stupid. The thing is... I don't wanna go home after school. I'm scared of it, actually, so I play cello. I play it when I'm nervous. It's what I do at night - homework and cello. When I'm nervous and I don't have my cello, my fingers twitch. Well, I just didn't wanna go home after school; so, I'm not gonna force you to be my friend, though, so... Don't worry about your secret. I'm not gonna tell anybody.

That&apos;s right: I&apos;m seven minutes and forty-five seconds into this movie, and I&apos;m already declaring it a 10/10.

Why? Because these kinds of gay movies are joyous, a breath of much-needed fresh air, and---I daresay---IMPORTANT.

Currently---and despite our much-lauded progressive attitudes---watching a &quot;gay romance&quot; is a bit like walking a Vietnam-era minefield: You&apos;re never quite sure if the characters and relationships you&apos;re rooting for are going to catch AIDS, be lynched, and/or commit suicide by the end... because they usually do. (Consider: The most mainstream &quot;gay romance&quot; at the time of this writing ends with one of our heroes being tire-ironed to death on the side of a freeway.)

So: &quot;Living happily ever after&quot; is one hell of a risky bet.

Admittedly, there&apos;s an undeniable place for such poignant, melancholy fare... but sometimes... sometimes... I just want to watch a cheesy, happy movie! Does that make me a bad person?! That was a rhetorical question: NO! No, it does not!

Dammit, I want to watch a movie where I know, going in, that the muffin I&apos;m smiling for isn&apos;t going to suffer horribly and then die alone! No one likes minefields! 

And seven minutes and forty-fives seconds in, this movie told me I wasn&apos;t in a minefield. 

That is one HELL of a rare treat in the desolate, self-immolating landscape of despair to which we&apos;re so-often subjected.
