1/5 VERY different from the short-film !
  by Sergio O. Parreiras (Chapel Hill, NC United States)
I saw an amazing short film with the same title and same basic plot at the NC gay and lesbian movie festival 2009. I don't know the story behind this but despite the striking similarities, the directors are distinct and this "feature" movie despite being longer is very shallow compared with the short one. I felt cheated because I thought this was an augmented version of the short but it is a very diluted one. I stopped watching it after 20 or 30 minutes.

5/5 A must see!

I was lucky enough to see this film at the recent MAGA film festival in Macon, GA and it was the highlight of the weekend! I couldn't wait to order a copy to share with friends and family. To echo the praises of everyone else, this film is beautifully acted, poignantly written, and a must-see for any audience. It effectively drives the message of love and acceptance both within and outside the family unit and paints a picture of what honor and respect for not only individuals around us in our society, but also for ourselves, should look like.

5/5 Deep and funny
  by Terence Flynn
This is a finely written and acted movie. The situation of the young protagonist, a boy who longs to be a cheerleader, is a direct and compelling challenge to myriad adults in his orbit. It is their varied responses to his quest, sometimes amid their own personal struggles or ideological limitations, that provides so much humor and emotional depth. The boy's mother (played by Carrie Preston)is really the main character in the movie, however. Most of her struggles with work and family are independent of her son's ambition. My own favorite moment in the movie is when she talks to a priest in the confessional. The long, quiet shot of her face as she reveals her doubts and struggles is a precious bit of acting.

5/5 Very sweet and great for all audiences!

This movie is very sweet and is appropriate for all ages and all audiences. The take-home message is the importance of accepting honoring people for who they are, not who you think they should be. Loved it!

5/5 Terrific film

I really enjoyed this movie. It's warm, touching, funny, and sweet. Many of us can relate to feeling different from everyone else as a child, and this movie shows how he and the people around him deal with that difference. Not a perfect movie, but well done, well acted, and with a wonderful cast.
