Plot: A young, gay man is forced out of the closet when his mother rents out a room in their house to a hunky border in this romantic comedy. Still living with his conservative, traditional mother and grandmother in their San Francisco home, first-generation Asian-American Daniel (Jay Wong) is aware of his sexuality but unable to act upon his desires. Enter Robert (James Marks), an openly queer Midwesterner seeking a place to live in the city. Once under the same roof, Robert and Daniel begin a clandestine affair, one that forces the latter to put his own happiness ahead of his family's expectations. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

Really touching movie
Added 12/21/2008

This was a really touching "first" love story. It was sort of like watching a home movie, rather than a professional job. We have watched it several times and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Simple and Sweet Love Story
Added 12/6/2008

As other reviewers have stated this is a low budget independent movie and that does show in the technical details. However, that does not take away from the story (which is enjoyable) or the lead actors (who are attractive and do an excellent job in their roles). This is a straight forward love story with the basic plot that most loves stories have. The differance is that you come to care about and root for the characters. This movie is a fun way to spend 75 minutes.

One wasted roof here
Added 4/7/2008

This movie stank from the very beginning and never got interesting or possessed any redeeming value. Living in SF the idea of an Asian family dynamic appealed to me. The mother was the best thing in the movie, no wait, the grandmother didn't say much and was possible the actor in the movie- just out of default. The rest of the film, from the editing, sound, set design, actors all stank stank stank. No more articulate review is required for such a time waster.

Quirky and Funny
Added 1/10/2008

A nice love story. Really great independent film. Love shows up in the weirdest places and here, right in your basement. Don't miss out on this film. Very simple but has the major cute factor.

Reminded me of a few things in my youth.

Encouraging film letting us know that we can't give up on what we want. The acting was kind of so so but I did enjoy the plot.
