Two Wyoming teens have their Clive & Maurice moment

Set in the early 80s in Wyoming, Steve is in love with his best friend Mark, but Mark is unsure of how he feels. Flash forward 10 years to the funeral for Steve's father.

The two boys have their Clive & Maurice moment (and yes, there's a Scudder around) but some things never change and some people never find the courage to do the really "true" thing.

There are just SO many coming out / coming of age stories and it's an evergreen topic for film makers. Most are generally sweet as those of us drawn to this kind of film are automatically pulling for the guys. And these films remind us of our own crushes & "roads not taken".

This one is workmanlike, and doesn't have any truly cringe-worthy parts. But when one finds oneself checking the progress bar at the bottom of a 21 minute video and kind of wishing that the number were higher than 14, that's probably NOT a good sign.
