Beautiful Thing

I have to go with a "just okay" on this one. I agree with many of the comments I read before reviewing this movie about it being a good mix of comedy (when it is trying to be, not because of bad acting or story telling) and drama. The social aspects are well dealt with. I think I disagree with most reviews about it being one of the best movies of this genre. I certainly realize that everyone has their own opinion and am glad for the enjoyment you find in this picture. The first time I saw it I was visiting a friend in England and it had just come out (no pun intended). I saw the movie with about 5 other people. And we too were split down the middle. Half loved it and wanted to turn around again and see it immediately. I was in the other half that thought it was a well made, fairly well acted movie but once was enough at the moment though I knew I would probably want to see it again in the future (and i have). I think Jonathan Harvey wrote a good script. Thought set in Englan... Read more

A british classic, with a simple but fantastic storyline with a ballanced amount of comedy and drama, with the most perfect cast and soundtrack Beautiful Thing is a must see.

an excellent movie that deals with emotion, social problems, and the strive to survive and succeed. Sacrifices are made; and in the end, as it is not always the case, a mother's love is stronger than any other feeling.

Such a sweet movie. And funny at the times when it needs to be. Think this is one of the best movies ever made.

OK I fell in love with this movie since it came out, and till today i can still watch it all the way through without having to forward anything so YEAh BEST MOVIE IN MI LIFE.

It one of the most touching and realistic stories I've ever seen. It's about young teen couple in britain. It's really a MUST SEE movie

If you ever watch one gay themed movie... WATCH THIS ONE. It is moving, down-to-earth and incredibly acted. The Mama Cass soundtrack works marvelously. This two leads are great to watch. It takes one back to a time, when things were innocent.

Arguably the best gay themed movie ever made.

One of my favorite all-time gay themed movies. Sweet and unassuming. This coming-of-age story of two working class teens from London's East End council flats is believable and touching. It never preaches and doesn't grasp at gay cliches. The acting is first-rate from all the leads and the Mama Cass soundtrack is perfect. Consistently makes the top of the list of gay men's favorite movies and I can understand why. Very believable. Touching and lyrical.

A really boring coming of age gay flick about to British guys that finally fall in love with each other after alot of denial and parent involvement. Very annoying cast, and I hated the neighbor girl who was always butting into everything.
