It starts out like a farce, with cartoon good kids and cartoon bullies and cartoon bad parents all interacting frenetically and the thirtysomething high school kid pumping his thing behind his unlocked door right when Mom and Dad and Little Sis noisily come home - but does he hear them before they barge in and catch him full-handed? Of course not! Or even like a high school musical (the painfully contrived, amateur Fame-esque dance that bursts out of nowhere on the high school steps as the opening credits roll?) Or God only knows what - except that it turns into a maudlin, preachy, soapy tragedy long before the end. The big problem with this movie is that it's stupid, boring and totally, totally unbelievable. I watch movies ONLY to be entertained, never to be educated. If I want to learn about AIDS, about the history or symptoms or progression or politics of the disease, I'll look it up - I won't watch a movie. Unlike some other reviewers, I watch movies for the quality of the entertainment, not for the quality of the preaching.
