I took my girlfriend to see this the other night, have to say, I wasn't hugely impressed. It was probably because of all the hype surrounding it, but I was let down. I really like Jake Gyllenhaal and ever since Monster's Ball, Heath Ledger has shot up in my estimation, but both of them failed to engage me, I just found them far too broody.
Overall, struck me as just another unsubtle stab at Oscar glory.

yea the critics made a big big hype over this movie, if this movie was just between a guy and girl- the movie would be a bomber
I dont know if it would be a bomber, but you're right that the story isnt anything amazing. Its your run of the mill love story. Just happens to be between two guys. That's what the hype is all about. Im not saying its a bad thing. Just stating the facts. It was a good movie, but didnt quite live up to the hype in my opinion.
