Coming from a christian who herself has to daily put to death same-sex attractions, I wanted you to know that I'll be praying for you. Please don't allow yourself to be deceived-the truth WILL set us free.<BR/><BR/>John 12:<BR/>44 Then Jesus cried out, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. 47 "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. 49 For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1156215052913072862006-08-21T19:50:00.000-07:002006-08-21T19:50:00.000-07:00anonymous, thank you for your comment. i'm intere...anonymous, thank you for your comment. i'm interested to know more about your experience/story. as a woman, did you really not realize your attraction to women before meeting your girlfriend? i wrote this review limited with my own perspective and experience as a gay man. i'm open to learning more about yours.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948061964482528393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1156206723285996072006-08-21T17:32:00.000-07:002006-08-21T17:32:00.000-07:00The movie was perfect.

The point the writer was trying to make is about love at first site.. and the main point is that it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman.. it's love. She didn't know it was love at first site.. which is why she tried to set her up with cooper.. then she found out she was gay and then her feelings of "knowing her all her life" etc, turned sexual and more defined. The movie was absolutely perfect. Nice twist with Perabo being the aggresive one. I like the fact that the movie doesn't sit there and hang on gay issues. The mother freaked out a little but all in all it was just a story about a woman finding out she is attracted to another woman and there isn't any big issues about it. I thought it was completely realistic as it is a lot like how I ended up with my girlfriend.. i.e I was married etc and so is was my girlfriend.. both of us being clueless. I think the writer of this article might be a little focused on how they think everything should fall into a nice neat gay package and anything that sways from that isn't realistic. I recommend anyone seeing this movie whether you're gay or straight. The humor was right on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1155606241700823032006-08-14T18:44:00.000-07:002006-08-14T18:44:00.000-07:00That is love, I love this movie.That is love, I love this movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1151597145344210192006-06-29T09:05:00.000-07:002006-06-29T09:05:00.000-07:00Hey Peterson, yep you're right. We do need a lil ...<B>Hey Peterson,</B> <BR/><BR/>yep you're right. We do need a lil escapism and considering it's a romantic comedy, we can excuse some of the bad jokes and fairy tale love-at-first-sight moments. I'm a romantic! <BR/><BR/>From someone who really likes (excuse the phrase) chick-flick romantic comedies, I hoped for more. My lingering questions throughout the movie got in the way of me enjoying the movie and experiencing that "it-could-happen-to-me" feeling. Instead, i kept thinking, "it doesn't happen like that".<BR/><BR/><B>LOL JJ!</B><BR/><BR/>I totally know what you mean. On a superficial level, i was totally enamored by Matthew Goode (Heck). In practically every scene in this movie, he was sooooo adorable. For me, he redeemed watching this movie because he's such eye-candy (for me). <BR/><BR/>I really was tempted to write this review with a Matthew-Goode-is-so-hot emphasis (even though i did slip those in a couple times) but i resisted the temptation because I really do think the movies we begin to watch in the mainstream ought to portray gay and lesbian relationships in a light OTHER than infidelity.<BR/><BR/>I challenge Hollywood's writers/directors out there to explore this aspect of life in their craft! If they really want to create something that will stimulate thought and discussion (and even controversy) and something that will make their audience feel something, anything, they need to begin making films where gay and lesbian relationships are a norm and not an aberration. It's a rarely touched frontier and a potential market. And it will change our culture!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948061964482528393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1151595674560483732006-06-29T08:41:00.000-07:002006-06-29T08:41:00.000-07:00I have to admit to a little celebrity crush on Pip...I have to admit to a little celebrity crush on Piper Perabo, and therefore to enjoying some of this movie on a superficial level... but I have to agree with you. So many holes!<BR/><BR/>And why do all the gay movies I see involve infidelity? Why is the main story line almost always about someone leaving their spouse/partner for someone of the same gender? <BR/><BR/>That's a generalization, of course, I'm sure there are movies that don't conform to this pattern, but I haven't seen them.<BR/><BR/>That having been said, Piper is a hottie! And she kisses a girl! I liked that part! ;)JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689406528121267867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1151519893541833472006-06-28T11:38:00.000-07:002006-06-28T11:38:00.000-07:00Since romantic comedies need to be both romantic a...Since romantic comedies need to be both romantic and comedic, with cinematic airbrush magic, they smooth away the pain, the confusion, the familys' disgust, and the ugly words. <BR/><BR/>They leave us with message that if we follow our heart, all will work out. The spouse will generously step aside and all will be forgiven as the credits role to a nice hip hop love jam. If we are lucky, they will even show us silly outtakes. <BR/><BR/>The reality is that when we follow our heart into a same-gender love affair or the exploration of our own gender or sexual identity, we most often face rejection from the people we consider most dear to us. <BR/><BR/>But I guess with all the hurt and rejection, we can use a little romantic comedy escapism ever now and then.Peterson Toscanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189029949905668568noreply@blogger.com
