- When they were teens, Kyle and Jake had special feelings for each other, but small-town life was too inhibiting for them to express their emotions. One boy moved away, while the other stayed behind without his best friend. Twenty-one years later, neither man's life has turned out the way he planned. Jake hoped to make it big in the city, but finds business unfulfilling. Kyle hoped to go to col

DVD Review: Flawed but Honest
Summary: 3 Stars
Writer/producer/director Jeffery London is back with another of his simple gay love stories put to film. And, although the results aren't brilliant in any way, he definitely deserves a "most improved" award.
London's 2001 "...And Then Came Summer" ranks in my book as one of the worst gay-themed films ever made. Parts of it are, literally, unbearable to watch. Thankfully, he's learned a lot in the seven years between that film and "Arizona Sky". Also, thankfully, he hasn't lost any bit of that big heart that he wants to bring to the big screen.
Technically, this film has a long way to go. There are a lot of clunky moments in regards to editing, and the soundtrack is scratchy and amateurish. Likewise, some of the writing and acting choices left me scratching my head... it's hinted that the character of Kyle is originally from Oklahoma, but his southern drawl is far too prominent, especially for someone who relocated to Arizona as a child. The references to "Brokeback Mountain" simply shouldn't be there, and the confrontational scene with Kyle and his cousin, Heath (Heath???) features the single worst on-screen punch in cinema history. No lie, it made me laugh out loud.
That said - and like so many others here - I couldn't help but like this little film. There's a sincerity here that's very engaging, a desire to tell us a simple story without a lot of distractions. And I'll admit that I found myself rooting for the two main characters... that Jake would come to grips with his desire to leave the big city for a simpler life, and that Kyle would come to grips with his long-hidden sexuality.
The film works best at its simplest moments. No, it isn't much of a story, but it is a little nugget that's conveyed with tenderness and a sense of honesty.
So, no, "Arizona Sky" isn't going to win any awards. But if gay romance is your kind of thing, you'll probably enjoy it.
