Very sad joke, uncomfortable to watch like a colostomy bag. Was it shot with a hand-held? I know 16 year olds who urinate with better script ideas.The steaming pile of crap that is the plot of this garbage centers around an amnesiac man. I am sure that after it got released the actor wished the memory loss had carried over to the real life.I realise it was supposed to be a gay harlequin type of movie, shame they targeted the geriatric audience, who due to Alzheimer's, for sure can relate.Stay away, save yourself time, do not count on the one cringeworthy love making scene or you'll wish to lose memory yourselves.

I thought every actor and actress in "Gone, But Not Forgotten" pulled it nicely off. Specifically, the two main characters; Aaron Orr as Drew Parker and as Mark Reeves, Matthew Montgomery. No matter what anyone says about this film, good or not so, the performances these two men shared rang true-blue, and who can beat the physical attraction going on? No surprise they shared a room, while the cast and crew shot this touching experience.Everyone including writers and directors, producers, plus those brave enough to get in front of a camera and act for us, wants to make the best movie possible. And that relies on many things: money, of course and available talent, weather (especially since a lot of this story is told outdoors), timing and a host of other factors that only the ones involved could imagine. To me, they flourished in this tale. If anyone out there needs material, I'm one obsessed fiction novelist. A homo too, driven to type out a storyline. My passion is and will always be mirroring potential life with us fruitcakes in tow, and man do we do funny and lovely things to one another! "Gone, But Not Forgotten" will remain in my DVD collection. It's a stepping stone for all of us ... you to appreciate, me to agree with you for popping the disc in your player, and everyone associated with the filming. We have to come from somewhere, right? Thanks for the narration.

This is a gem of a movie. A friend just lent me the DVD even though it came out about 3 years ago. I really didn't know what to expect because he didn't say anything about it.It has a combination of mystery, romance and a bit of comedy. I like the how storyline progresses and the mystery unfolds. The two lead characters, Drew and Mark, are adorable as the actors who play them. I also enjoyed the music as well.I went and bought the DVD for myself to watch again (and again). I especially enjoyed the commentary track on the DVD, but I recommend just enjoying the movie the first time around. It's interesting to hear about the scenes and the thoughts from the director, producer and the actor who plays Mark.

I guess we gays have come a long way as now some of us have the time & money to waste on mediocre, dull as dishwater PG13 "mysteries" that have all of the dramatic tension of a Scooby Doo episode. Jeez, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN makes the worst episode of MURDER SHE WROTE seem like THE MALTESE FALCON!! What I just don't get is WHY this film was made & who is the audience? If there were attractive leads or hot sex maybe I could understand the effort (there IS a market for soft core gay porn) but there's just NOTHING going on here. There isn't one second of originality in this film, not one of the actors displays any enthusiasm for their roles (I've seen hostages do better line readings), the cinematography is 7-11 security cam level, the awful neo-folkie music obscures a lot of the dialog (guess that's a blessing) & the running time is padded out with numerous scenes of people driving. Were it not for the lack of sex scenes or any flesh for that matter I would swear this was an edited porn film as the sets are hilariously unconvincing but not nearly as rigid, wooden & unattractive as the actors. This wouldn't even cut it as a Troma film! The filmmakers had a budget & materials to make a gay themed mystery/romance & this is what they came up with? Man do I hope they all know how to type or wait tables because the art is just NOT in their blood! This one is up there with PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE & ROBOT MONSTER as one of the most inept films ever made.The only way GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN can be (almost) enjoyed is "Mystery science Thatre 3000" style. My boyfriend & I were howling with laughter at this turd & heckled it mercilessly. Hey here's an idea: the new all gay cable channel Logo can hire some really bitchy drag queens to watch bad gay flicks & heckle them. THAT is the only way I can recommend it.
