Why?!!!!!!

[Irishchatter · 5/10 · 2 July 2015]

Seriously, why didn't they show Milo Ventimiglia's character kissing

the boy he fell for at the nightclub?!

I was just waiting for that moment but it was wasted by not seeing what

happens next for the two boys!

I really wish this film was thirty minutes long then twenty minutes less.

I could've given this movie a nine if I knew the boys were gonna make

out or even if they escaped away together on a secret place. Well I

guess ill never know when there's even a sequel of this movie that might support this!

To be young again!

A story that reminds us what it's like to be young and in love, or at least lust. The film is well acted, and the plot is realistic, but the ending is somehow unsatisfying. On it's own it's a nice piece of light cinema, but seeing it along with the other shorts in a boy's life 2, it made a very nice addition. I recommend for anyone, straight or gay.

Must be forgettable

"Must Be the Music" is an American 16-minute short film written and directed by Nickolas Perry. He made this one 20 years ago and it was his very first project. However, he did not make it really famous in the last 2 decades and judging from this one here, it is not a surprising development. It is not a particularly good movie and does not stand out compared to all the other gay-themed short films that got picked for these Boys Life compilations. The story in here is pretty random and nothing memorable and the actors' mediocre-weak performances do not really elevate the material either. I cannot say I am familiar with any of the cast members. As a whole, there is nothing special to see here. Thumbs down.
