Ah, sweet love. This beautifully filmed flick should be shared with your favorite date. These guys take their time fallin’ for each other and like real life don’t see it until they fall into it. However, unlike mah birthplace in Kansas, the townsfolk are unreasonably accepting of the homos in their midst! Kinda burst mah bubble. Ah love all the extra materials! Ta wishes every filmmaker would put similar effort into the bonus portion.

This warm and cuddly new film tells a traditional tale of the triangulated relationship with several new spins. There’s the gay artist Henry Hart; he loves the waspishly handsome and sexually confused Dean Stewart; and then there’s Pike who pines secretly for Henry.

Our story begins when Henry (Arye Gross) is called back to his hometown, Big Eden, Montana, after his grandfather falls ill. Once there, he reunites with Dean (Tim DeKay, his high school crush, whose conflicted heterosexuality motivated Henry’s fleeing and years of therapy. While this old crush flares again, the quiet, shy Native American owner of Big Eden’s general store, Pike Dexter (Eric Schweig), has his eyes on the big-city returnee. Pike teaches himself to cook and starts preparing gourmet meals for the recuperating grand-dad and the desired grandson. Louise Fletcher does a wonderful turn as Grace, a family friend. A fine film with a great, big heart - but it’s really a fairy tale.
