Of all of the "coming out" films I've seen, this has got to be one of the worst, in spite of the cast. Spend your time and money on something more worth while. This is a total waste of time AND money.

Vendor was great, however, in getting film to me on time and in good condition, as advertised. Would recommend the vendor, just not the film. July 20, 2008

This movie is a very well done look at what can happen when a teen reveals their sexuality to their parents. We wouldn't ask for a better movie to show us the story of a parent's struggle to accept their child's sexuality, and the trials and heartache that go along with it. December 19, 2007

I am a straight male who enjoyed this movie alot. Jane (Ellen Muth), an attractive teenage girl quickly has to come to terms with the fact that she is gay. Knowing this was always the case she grapples with the difficlties of coming out to her peers and and family. Janes mom (Stockard Channing) cannot accept her daughter's homosexuality and the film showcases the struggle of what it must be like to come out to your family at such a young age. The film was touching and dealt with alot of hard issues. Ellen Muth and Stockard Channing were wonderful in thier parts of the story. The film had a bit of a cheesey feel to it being a lifetime movie but the two leading ladies kept some respectability to the film. This is a movie that every one should watch as it was truley touching. August 17, 2007

What makes this title outstanding is the convincing play of all actors, because the story itself is rather trivial. The most important factor seems to me, that in addition to the problems of a young lesbian woman (treated in other movies) the explosive power for the relation of her parents is shown. This film is a must for parents with gay or lesbian children and a dramatic and touching story for lesbians themselves. July 15, 2007

This movie is truly a must see!! All the actors/actresses were superb and believable, performing a very heartfelt story of coming out, and showing the various viewpoints and feelings of all those involved (with a happy ending). January 10, 2007
