Description

After meeting one lonely Friday night at a bar, Russell (Tom Cullen) and Glen (Chris New) find themselves caught up in an lost weekend full of sex, drugs, and startling emotional connection. In the fast-fleeting couple of days, the reservations of earnest Russell come head to head with Glen's more strident sexual identity, and the romantic outlooks of both men are affected deeply. When Monday comes, despite the unexpected intimacy they've established, can the pair survive the mundane challenge of separation?

  • Slow and boring

    I hate to disagree with most reviews but the story lacked a soul! The plot dragged. The story was unable to awaken any feeling of sympathy for the couple nor was able to transfer any real emotions on to the audience!!
  • Simply amazing.

    Captures the essence of modern romance in a nonchalant, simple manner.
  • Definitely One of My Favorite Movies!

    I watched this movie for the first time for free on Amazon Prime Instant Video (which sadly I don't think it's included with Prime anymore). I figured why not since I didn't have anything to lose. The movie is so simple yet complex in how it shows what so many of us go through first meeting a guy we think we really like and not sure if he feels the same and don't want to appear too needy. The movie follows two guys who meet at a bar one weekend and end up having what they assume is a one night stand. The next morning, however, the other guy stays longer than expected and they end up finding ways to see each other for the rest of the weekend. One guy is supposed to be going away to school I believe the following week so they both are trying not to get too attached but by the end of the weekend they have a decision to make. This movie is written and acted very well. Also, there are some good eye candy shots periodically. Definitely Recommend!

    Absolutely amazing. There's not many movies that make you feel as much emotions at once. Weekend was a roller coaster. I think the main message in this incredible indie drama, is that if you love something you should set it free. Even if you aren't gay there are many connections that can be made throughout the movie. It's definitely a favorite of mine.
  • Profoundly real!

    In my opinion this film is possibly one of the most best romance film of all time.
