Another great film with Trevor Donovan, who never disappointed his viewers. In fact, I would even go so far as to refer to Donovan as the King of this genre. I also enjoyed the rest of the cast as well. No one disappointed me this time. They all gave great performances. And you could see that they worked hard.
And that's rare with all films nowadays. I'm not always this positive. The entire film seemed to flow so naturally that once again I didn't realize how quickly the time passed. There was also a certain spark with this film that's not always there with other films in the romance genre.
It's a feel good movie that takes you away from life's issues. The perfect and safest kind of escapism that sometimes we all need and crave. I'd watch it again and I would recommend it to others without hesitation.

I really loved everything about this film, from the location to the cast. Trevor Donovan always does a fine job and he doesn't disappoint this time. And the rest of the cast was great, too. The storyline moved quickly and I didn't even realize how fast the time went by while watching. I would recommend this film to everyone who loves a little romance in their lives. I also think it's the kind of film you can re-watch so it's on my DVR forever. I like to know that I can re-watch something that I really like and this movie is perfect for that.
This is also the perfect movie for people who have watched hundreds of films in this genre. I know it was for me, and I'm always grateful when that happens.

I just finished watching Netflix's miniseries, Echoes. And I loved it. It's a complicated story involving devious twins and Matt Bomer plays one of their husbands. And even though he's openly gay in real life, it's perfectly fine for him to play a straight white male character who comes from a place of privilege. For one thing, he's NOT appropriating a marginalized group, and for another, he WAS in the closet at one time just like the rest of us and he pretended to be straight.
So for those people who always use the argument that if a straight actor plays gay for pay is wrong, so is a gay person playing straight, it's not the same thing. Whenever a gay actor plays a straight role it's different than when a straight actor plays gay for pay. Gay people are part of a marginalized group who have suffered some of the worst atrocities in history. There are still countries in Africa and the Middle East that would criminalize us and put us to death. And no one should culturally appropriate us. Just like all other minorities. You don't see straight white actors taking on black roles. Because they would be wrong. It works the same for straight actors taking on gay roles. Or, straight writers writing gay content. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
In any event, I don't want to go off-topic too much. Matt Bomer playing Jack Beck in Echoes gave one of his finest performances and I hope they do another season. I don't understand the negative reviews about the show being confusing. I didn't find it to be confusing. I would have watched Echoes even if Matt hadn't been part of the cast, but because he was part of the cast it made the whole series even better. He's at the top of his game right now, and I want to see him do more.
