Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral scenes that were filmed ended up on the cutting room floor. The news clip report of Todd's bashing that was viewed by the fraternity originally included an interview with Sam, the coffeehouse "community action patrol" activist clad in pink. The scene would have identified and established the name of the character with audiences. As it ended up, Sam is never addressed by name.
- GoofsWhen Griff leaves Pete's house at the beginning of the movie, he opens the front door in bare feet, then comes out of the front door in white socks.
- Quotes
Todd Bentley: Are you like in love with him, dude?
John 'Griff' Griffith: I... I've never been more sure of anything.

Featured review
Griff and Pete are two regular guys going to college someplace in the Western U.S., that enjoy rough housing with their friends, partying, going to sporting events, all the typical "guy" things, except dating in public, since they're gay. Pete is proud of his relationship with Griff, Griff however, is afraid that he'll have to choose between his lover, and his frat house friends.
When Pete gets attacked after they have an argument, Griff has the difficult choice to make of helping catch Pete's assailants and being 'out-ed', or letting his partner's assailants possibly get away.
This movie is not nearly as light hearted as "Get Real", and most of the characters aren't developed as fully as they could have been. I gave it a higher rating than I normally would have, since it was a really good effort by independent film makers.
