This movie has several opportunities to make a splash. There is a gay bashing. There is the closet gay who refuses to talk about his relationship yet wants to open up to a black female class mate. I feel like the story should have explored more with the closet lesbian and not so much on the back slapping antics of young men talking about how much sex they got the night before. The one really horrible item to this movie is that the lead actor was by far the worst actor in the movie. Everyone else was actually very, very good. I could not feel his anger when he found out who the bashers were, which I felt should have been the most pivotal point of the show. His frustration at being gay was sometimes there, sometimes not. I just felt like something ended up on the cutting room floor.
