I like that too, it is simple, yet well written so there are things to ponder.
My initial misunderstanding of "when I came out" lead me to think Zach had already realized his orentation. Now that I know he actually said "when it came out", refering to Shaun's book, makes it a very different story. The way they were bumping in to one another on that path, was so flitatious. I loved it.

Welllllllllll, you never know.... Yeah I am really wondering if Gabe already knew by the time that he saw Zach with Shaun's shirt. But hadn't he not seen his brother in a while, how would he know that that is his shirt?

A lot of people seem to comment on that, but I didn't think it was that strange. The director said in an interview that with the scene of them in bed (right before Gabe almost finds them there), he was trying to convey how you sometimes just don't want to get out of bed out of laziness and happiness with being with the right person. They might have been in bed all day, only to get out to get food, during which you would put on your boxers.

As for the Dad, I guess his only purpose is to show just one more person that Zach is responsible for - he's become the parent to everyone, his nephew, his sister and his own dad.
I'm looking forward to watching it again - I always catch more things on a second viewing!

Hey Marie! :-* I'm so glad you liked the movie as much as I do and that we liked the same things in it. The smile after the first night. The walkie-talkies. "You're my daddy, you're my daddy, you're my daddy...".

I thought that because Gabe was being a bit obvious about his 'nice shirt' comment.

Okay, that sounds plausible.
The actors had great chemistry between them I thought.

Yeah, I thought so too! It's in the little things, like that goodbye kiss at the door, the walkie-talkie scene at the end, it feels very natural! :D

Did you all see how in the frisbee scene Shaun can't keep his eyes off Zach when he's talking to Tori? Thought that was a nice detail... I read in an interview that that's what started the idea in the director's mind, seeing two men frisbee at a lake and wondering what they were to each other.
