Did we really need another gay-themed film where the gay kid kills himself? What kind of message does this send to actual real-life teenagers who are suicidal? If they'd just ended the movie at about 69 minutes in, with Will and Mike falling asleep next to each other under the tree, I'd have given it a 9. As it is, this movie is at best a huge disappointment. At worst, what's to stop a very depressed gay boy in Miami or Melbourne or Manchester from watching this movie and coming away from it with the perception that it validates what he'd already been contemplating, i.e. that suicide is, indeed, the only way out? This is a very possible real-world consequence that the people responsible for making this film apparently didn't consider.
