While watching this film I had to think to myslf how it explored "textbook" facts about the dichotomy of this crime in America. The attackers were depicted as zealots in the extreme, while the attacked was depicted as very much in line with heteronormality. It had the look of a Lifetime movie to it, which added to the "fun" of watching the attacked get even on the attacker's own terms. One point that I found engaging was that as a viewer I was manipulated into disliking Chris, who was as much a victim in this as the attacked. It put an interesting spin on this viewer's own preconcieved notion of arbitrary dislike, in that his own need to be covert (something that happens to every character in the film- everyone has a level of normalcy which is hiding something which is "abnormal" to the status quo) has a reason which is a lot more benign that many of the other characters. So in being a viewer I felt like I was engaged in the point that director wished to posit: an examination of dislike based on surfaces.

This is a story of how some religious groups encourage and fuel the fires of hatred of gay people. It also shows the difference between religions being fair to Christianity . The story is quite real to life the depiction of a gay couple, showing the normalcy of their lives until the extremist hatred of the most radical Christians moves in next door . In America, this kind of hatred exists and manifests it's self frequently . A must see for all families . I believe this to be a good film for all ages. Other than a little adult language this is a great movie for the entire family.

This story has been hashed out more then once; nothing original just another Afternoon TV Drama about religious fanatics out to get the sweet Gay Couple next door, sadly it's something you'd expect to see on the True Movies Channel. I found it difficult to sit through it...tired subject matter with an outrageous ending. If you like Afternoon Television, you might like this movie - it was a no brainer.

This was a great movie which reflected the "how it is" hardships of being gay. I believe things will turn around and more and more people are becoming tolerant of the lifestyle. However, it is the responsibility of the churches to NOT spread hate about us. I realized I was gay as a young teenager back in the early 1950's and things were a LOT different then. I managed to hide and not be discovered, however in the 1960's and 70's I remember many friends that were fired from their jobs simply because they were gay. I also served in the military before Don't Ask Don't Tell was implemented and was amazed to find so many gay friends serving. Anyway to make a long story short--by all means rent or buy this movie. It is a real eye opener.

But I might be racist as we all are in some form or another and at one time or another, I just watched a video feed about 2 cops that were sitting in a patrol car from thier live video in patrol car where the audio stated the the two guys sitting in the car that they pulled over were probably Taliban and Muslim when the guy they arrested was Egyptian which proves that the cops are biased and racist themselves for no reason just because one of them was sitting in the front seat with a laptop like it's a crime to do so. But I'm also agnostic and beleive in the line that: Arrested on Immigration charges that are false.
