Plot: Love is in the air thanks to a magic potion whipped up by an imaginative student in this playful independent comedy with music. Timothy (Tanner Cohen) is a bright young man who is attending an upscale private high school, Morgan Hill, thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of his mother (Judy McLane). Timothy is also gay and doesn't care who knows it, which doesn't make him popular with his classmates; his closest friends, a girl nicknamed Frankie (Zelda Williams) and her boyfriend, Max (Ricky Goldman), attend another school. Timothy has a serious crush on Jonathon (Nathaniel David Becker), but Jonathon isn't interested in boys, to Timothy's chagrin. Timothy is cast as Puck in the school's spring musical, a musical adaptation of William Shakespeare's {+A Midsummer Night's Dream}, and inspired by his character's machinations, Timothy tries to recreate the love potion used in the play. Miraculously, Timothy arrives at a formula that actually works, and after accidentally dousing Max and having to fend off his advances, Timothy sprays Jonathan with the concoction and soon has the boy of his dreams. However, before long Timothy's magic potion gets loose, and things get very lively on campus, among both the students and the teachers. Were the World Mine was the first feature film from director Tom Gustafson, and won the Audience Award at the {~2008 Torino International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival}. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

More music please...
Added 11/7/2009

I liked this movie...however...I was a bit disappointed in the musical numbers and the romance of the two characters. I'd have liked to have seen a bit more. This film claims to put other musicals to shame...but honestly there were barley any musical numbers at all and what they did have seemed incomplete. Here is yet another gay-themed movie that falls short of being great. But considering what "we" have out there to see this movie is good enough. And a word to str8 actors in gay-themed films...STOP being afraid of "the kiss" if you're truly a good actor you can "act" like you're enjoying kissing another dude. The smooches in the movie are completely lame and as in many other movies of this genre it falls short of being real.

When I saw the videos for "Were the World Mine" on Youtube I knew that I HAD to see it. I am hopelessly addicted to musical movies so I was so looking forward to watching/owning this movie... I was disappointed.

The movie was... I don't know what adjective to use there that wouldn't be needlessly harsh so... passable. It was also so stereotypical in the portrayal of gay people that I was near offended. Why, when turned to the inclination of preferring the same sex, did everyone begin to dance and sing? I get that it is a musical and therefore dancing and singing but it just became so... "FABULOUS"!!! Like, "we're gay now so I'm done playing rugby and I'm going to join musical theatre!" Why? Were they secretly into musical theater before? Then show that they were! I like my comedy to be FUNNY, not a slap in the face.

Didn't quite spin as a Musical
Added 10/29/2009

OK are we making a musical here??? Let's have some music numbers!!! I liked the musical idea and feel of the movie; however I really thought there were not enough musical moments and the moments there were, were obviously dubbed. I felt there was too much dialogue to spin as a musical and I found the superfluous background music more of an annoyance then anything. I would have liked to have seen character development through song instead of bland dialogue and I would have appreciated a more dramatic feel to the story instead of ridiculous antics of a bunch of newbie queers chasing each other. I loved the look of the movie (semi fantasy), I liked the teenage love story, I thought the tryout duet and some of the more dramatic musical numbers were beautiful and there was plenty of Eye Candy, I just felt the movie came up a bit short to spin as a musical or a serious work.
