Editorial Reviews:
This absolute winner, based on a stage play by Jonathan Harvey and adapted by him, is a kind of enchanted, urban slice-of-life tale about a gay teen, Jamie (Glen Berry), who is in love with the boy next door, Ste (Scott Neal). Hampering Jamie's progress on the romantic front is his fear that his mother (Linda Henry) will find out, as well as concern over complicating Ste's existing problems. Beautiful Thing is a relationship movie, to be sure, but that description doesn't really describe the buoyant tone of this British television production. Democratic in its inclusive regard for each character (whether camera-pretty or not), the film--well-directed by Hettie Macdonald--is full of surprises. Chief among them is the terrific personality of Jamie's mum, a strong and independent woman who truly worries over and adores her son. But this is a movie involved in a kind of happy dialogue with itself: the tunes of Mama Cass, for instance, play a part in both the story and overall ambience, while a strategic placement of the Rodgers and Hammerstein chestnut "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" during an act of love is fun and exciting. --Tom Keogh

Summary: Very cute and touching
Comment: I'm one of those people who thinks most gay movies are silly and stupid. I'm pleasantly surprised when a film is funny and touching. It's hard to make a gay film without using stereotypes, and this film is just fun to watch and enjoy.

Summary: CLASSIC - IT WILL BE
Comment: It will never die - this is one of the best "gay" movie ever made.

It is actually hard to say why this movie is better than others......... and I think it is probably because it is all there.... plus that magical touch to makes it incredible

This is my bad mood movie............. and it will make me happy again at the end.

If you are not getting this one - you are missing out on one of the best gay love story ever told.......... and it is a low budget movie !!!

Summary: Beautiful Little Gem
Comment: Of all coming out movies that I have seen, this is one of the most tender and beautiful of them all. Story of how two boys discover love to one another is written and told wonderfully. It also presents one of the sweetest scene, Jamie stroking Ste's back with a foot lotion from The Bodyshop. It brings out smile in my face

This is a worth little gem ...
