Six years after it was filmed, I found this and I am glad I did. Given that there are only eight reviews for this film I gather that not many others have found it either, though it's a specialty piece that won't appeal to everyone. First thing I have to say is kind of a criticism, but in this small remote Alaskan town is it really feasible that there are this many gay people?! I highly doubt it, but that doesn't negate the fact that it's an enjoyable little film about acceptance, caring, support, standing up for one's rights and doing what you gotta do what's best for you in life. Or at least try. The four principal characters in this film are a twin brother and sister and it's that brother who has major aspirations to be a drag queen along with two guys, one who seems to have to live in denial of being gay and the other just learning that he might be. Martin L. Washington Jr. & Maya Washington portray the twins and the other two are played by Matt Dallas and Chris O'Shea and all are good and Dallas is really hot! There are a bunch of small character actors in small character roles, too many to mention, and all are enjoyable. This film is funny, interesting and while not exactly a great film, I could find little wrong with this simple little story.
