A story for pleasure and thrill.,
By Piotr from Poland (Grudzi¹dz) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rites of Passage (VHS Tape)
I ordered this video just because I wanted to have a film with Jason Behr, who I admire a lot. I didn't even know he plays a gay in that film then. It was a real surprise for me as I am gay myself. Yet this fact has not made me really love the film. When I sat down in the armchair and turned the VCR on, I could not stop watching the film. Although in the very beginning the plot did not seem to catch my interest too much, the later events appeared so fast and surprising that I hardly noticed the time passing by. The whole story of young gay love is so deeply moving one's heart that , I am sure, there must be a lot of similar examples in real life when gays are not accepted in their families. Coming out is not an easy thing to to, at least in Poland. Maybe such films like "Rites of Passage" will change people's attitudes somehow and turn them to a better understanding. Perhaps this film has helped somebody to become aware of how worth our family relationships are. The plot, however, is not the only good aspect of this film. I have enjoyed watching Jason Behr and Dean Stockwell act in this film. These two artists behaved like a real son and father. Jason Behr di not disappoint me at all. I must say he is a marvellous actor and "Rites of Passage" is the very proof of that. This film is worth its price for sure.

Memorable and unique.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rites of Passage (DVD)
This movie feels like high-caliber live theater. That might be why some folks don't care for it. (I have a friend who doesn't think a movie is any good unless there's at least one car chase. It's just a matter of taste.) But as straightforward drama, this movie is memorable. The movie has heart and substance, and the actors should all be proud of their performances.

Cliches and yelling,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rites of Passage (DVD)
The film piles gay son/unaccepting father clichés one on top of the other until the whole thing collapses. That might be amusing in and of itself, but the overwrought dialog consists almost entirely of yelling. The cinematography is nice, and Jason Behr is adorable. If that's enough for you, consider renting. I can't imagine wanting to own this so that I could watch it repeatedly.
