Summary: Edge of my seat!!!!
Comment: This was a very good movie, I have seen all of writer/producer Todd Stephen's films, and I seen them in the opposite order they were made. I seen Another Gay Movie, Gypsy 83, and then Edge of 17. I have to say this film left me wanting to see more and at the end if it would have just been 20 minutes longer, but even if it were i'd probably still say if it had been longer. It is one of those movies you hate to see end, also the ending itself was one of those that you have to sort of quess what you think may happen. I hope that writer todd stephens gets back to writing more movies like this. It had a great cast... love Andersen Gabrych, and Chris Stafford. Hope to see them in another one of stephens films. Overall the film is worth watching. people my age may not like the music becasue it was made to be in the 80's. However, the time may be different but the theme is still the same.

Summary: Simply wonderfu as well as insightful!!!!
Comment: This movie, I'm sure, was very beneficial and insightful to MANY gays coming out in 1987. This movie also proves that there are two main types of gays and it is really difficult, painful, complex and unnerving when those two types of gays come together; moreover, the harsh reality of a family's typical reaction--independent of how a gay may be categorized--in particular, the mother. Given that this movie achieves a wonderful depiction of the truths of the gay community, this movie is still very relevant today. I was not conscious of the fact that this movie was done more than 20 years ago...well, I must admit, you can't really be oblivious to Eric's Boy George-like, 80's punk look! lol :) Albeit, this is the qunitessential "coming out" movie. This movie does a very nice job of portraying the typical struggles of a gay guy in Eric's situation without over-indulging in some of the more profound aspects of the story; ergo, a drawn-out, almost unbelievable film. It also, I believe, evokes thoughts for young gays that are [hopefully] conducive to the establishment of tenets of the gay community. Some examples of these tenets would be: not to be promiscuous (as it is asinine and totally unsafe), don't judge others--as you don't want anyone judging you, never love under any pretense--thus it isn't love in the first place, accept change--you must eventually do this if you are to be comfortable and strong in being gay. Suffice it to say, I adored--no, simply TREASURE this film!! :)

Summary: Great 80's music
Comment: I saw this movie on the LOGO channel and had forgotten some of the great songs during that period. It's a great CD to have for a party.

Summary: Coming out with confusion.
Comment: I think is a very good movie, the boy,Eric, is just not sure if he is gay or not, he has this cute girlfriend who is in love with him, he starts having many changes on his conduct and looks, his mom knows deep inside the truth, you see his first gay sexual experiences and his entrance to the gay scene,

Summary: 16 candles for the gay community
Comment: I just love this little gem of a movie.
If your a "child of the 80s" like i am, this will certainly bring back a lot of memories. Performances are outstanding, as well as touching!
I bought it!
