bartolomr006 The movie captured many different outlooks on how homosexuality is feared because of ignorance, unacceptance, peer pressure, and the pride of being in love (to show this love in public.) The movie clearly captured the struggles of three best friends, in which, two have fallen in love with each other, and had struggles with accepting the relationship. I loved how the move went "through the motions" of falling in love, keeping the relationship a secret, how others knew, but didn't want to say anything, the parent's acceptance, and the many struggles to keep the relationship alive and strong. I recommend this movie to everyone! Without a doubt, this is one of the BEST "Coming Out" movies I've seen!

ashleyw22 The first time I saw this movie I loved it. It is a great love story. I was also glad to see that it wasn't based around the two characters having sex. Just about every gay movie I have seen thats all they want to talk about. I was happy to finally see a movie that is about much more than sex. Its about what some people are willing to do for love. When I saw it, it reminded me of the movie All Over the Guy. Except that in All Over the Guy the two characters are already out. And in Defying Gravity both the characters are still in the closet. One of them more than the other. I bought the movie and can't help but watch it over and over again. I recommend this movie to everyone.

SpamBytes2112 Being a person that does not use the term 'WHATEVER' repeatedly, I can offer that I found the movie enjoyable. I do not find it far fetched that parents and friends can accept gay family and friends in their lives, while most frats are not so accepting, even in California.I think the subject of being gay, and in a frat, is an important issue. Guys at that age are still trying to grow into their sexuality, and may gays males at that point have not learn to accept their own sexually. Believe me, I know. As a matter of fact this is an important issue, because it not uncommon for those not accepting of their sexually, to take out their discomfort on others (i.e., gay bashing).The movie has some touching moments, attractive actors, and I thought it was worth the 90 minute investment of my time. During the move not once did I have an urge to throw the remote, but then again, I have never been accused of being a drama queen.

TazNS I have finally seen Defying Gravity, and I have found the story line to be very good. It is hard to make life altering decisions like that. On the other hand the found the acting to be poor. Other then that it was a great movie and I would watch it again. It was nice to see that "Griff's" Friend stuck by him, even though he always knew. He was just waiting for Griff to tell him. It is hard to find friends like that....now that is a TRUE friend. I will be checking out for simular movies, that have the same/basic story line. If anyone knows of any that you would recommend, please don't hesitate to forward them off. Thank You, Take Care And Have A Good One....I hope to get some feedback...TazNS
