Wow, what a disappointment this was. I usually like the actors in the cast and am dumbfounded as to what they were thinking when they signed on to this project.
The character played by Lukas Gage is supposed to be funny and charming but is so over the top obnoxious, clueless, and irritating that it's a wonder that Zachary Quinto's character didn't throw him out after five minutes.
This is a film by a gay writer and gay actors, yet it treats the gay characters with utter contempt. The scenes don't ring true and the characters reactions and dialogue don't work with the backdrop of the situation they find themselves in.
There is a scene at the end with Audra MacDonald who gives an excellent monologue that is finally grounded in reality only to have what happens after it negate the whole scene for an ubsurd and head scratching happy ending.
This could very well be the worst film of the year.
