Reportedly, this movie fleshes out the plot begun in the 2010 short film also entitled "I Want Your Love" by the same director. It centres on a going-away party for Jesse (Jesse Metzger). Jesse will be leaving his friends in Frisco and returning to the American Midwest. However, this story turned out to be about nothing of note really. There was a bunch of shallow, thirty-something grown men who were still behaving like teenagers. They were talking like silly nelly queens of the 1980s era, with their outrageously campy, sissified banter, pointless potty-mouth dialogue, and clueless lives. American sitcoms is what it reminded me of, the outdated, melodramatic caricatures and stereotypes of people and overblown clichés. Jesse is full of Angst and doesn't know what to do with himself. What am I going to do, I don't know, Oh woe is me, and so on. This was laughable, coming from a man of his age. Maybe that was the point of this movie? It was a comedy? Mr. Matthews did a better job with the 2010 short film forerunner, a snapshot of the lives of two men who up to that time had enjoyed a long platonic friendship without strings. That one had humour, drama and sex too, yet also a more meaningful story. To me, anyway.
