I hate to be cruel to a well intentioned film maker's efforts, but this one was rough.
A young gay couple travel cross country at Christmas time to one of the men's family in a small town called Red Lodge. There is a marriage proposal along the way that is accepted, then rejected. This causes friction in the relationship and for most of the movie they bicker. The movie was filmed with flashbacks as well as one of the men talking to the camera like a contestant on a dating reality show. This overused and unnecessary addition never failed to take me out of the moment.
The film even managed to mess up a potential sexy scene where a cute young ski instructor invites the men over to his hot tub for some fun. Note to the writer: Poppers are not usually used when sex isn't happening.
The two lead men had little chemistry. I would write their names here, however, the identity of the actors have been removed from the front of the DVD box. Guess they didn't like the film much either.
