Relaxing, warm

This is not an exciting movie, but filled with meaningful examples of life, both in words and in actions. We both felt a deep warmth afterward. I was expecting it to be boring but full of advice but it was much more rewarding. I rarely (bordering on never) tear up but this got me to the edge a few times (and my partner cried about six times). Not always sad tears, usually great joy. Its a movie to absorb, without expectation.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Really slow, unrealistic corny acting

I kept waiting for it to pick up. Nothing in the first 1/2. Not that it never did but it was the back half and only for a few moments that anything new, interesting or action oriented happened. Certainly not enough to carry a whole movie. I felt like it as a 17 min movie dragged out with many, many over-acted scenes. Our audience laughed many times due to how unrealistically (and unnecessarily) corny the acting was. I truly loved the first one so not sure how they lost almost all the mojo on this one. Our group of 4 all agreed.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I would not have expected I'd like it this much

I really thought Borat was pretty stupid. Didn't mind the offensiveness as I can laugh at all stereotypes when in jest (I just don't live that way). But Bruno, in a sold out theater of predominantly non-hetero men was laugh out loud funny (and the crowd agreed) ....Humor was how far he took scenes and the visuals of them. Lots of poking fun at straight people who don't get us (like the 'convert you to straight' sequence with those pastors). 20 good laugh out loud things, plenty to re-enact & laugh at latter. The 'what parents will agree to get their kids in movies' was uncomfortable but eye opening. Bet those parents wish they could retract it. Will have to see it again. Potential cult film for narrow audience to which I must fit!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
