3.0 out of 5 stars
A great story with some so-so acting, Jun 17 2004
This review is from: Defying Gravity (DVD)
3.4 stars - Overall, this is a great movie that I recommend and that I think you will enjoy if you don't expect it to be as polished as the last who knows how many million-dollar Hollywood flick.
The DVD itself is great and has a very clear picture and, while I'm no audio expert, I thought the soundtrack and voices were above average. The soundtrack is actually included right on the DVD and has a "slideshow" that goes along with it showing scenes where the song was featured. I haven't seen another DVD that did this, and it's really cool and just one more reason to add it to your collection. The only draw back that I have noticed is that there is no Closed Captioning at all.
Although the dialog isn't always believable in some of the more dramatic scenes and some of the acting comes across as too forced, I think you'd be disappointed to miss this movie. The story is a good one and shows friendships in situations that aren't always seen in gay films. There are no sex scenes or nudity, and no violence is shown on screen. If it weren't for some graphic language and epithets, it could easily pass as PG-13 and would be suitable for nearly any audience.

Falling a little short ..., Jan 29 2004

Defying Gravity ...
Someone was trying to defy something in the the editing room. There is always more to anything, except when it comes to the soundtrack of this great story line film. If only more work whent into the sound. I hope the producers learn from this and any future works will surpass thier endeavours in this one. This is one movie that people should see , too bad they won't hear it.

some may say its "dated" with "horrific" sound and acting but given that this movie was done on almost nothing... i fell in love with this movie... the acting... the sound... all ties into together with the main story and its characters... i would and have recommended this movie to all my friends...
