Young gay man in New Zealand
Havan_IronOak14 August 2001
Steve is a young New Zealand boy who is about to attend his first high school dance. Although his recently separated parents both insist on buying him his first suit, he finds himself fanaticizing about men rather than the `Sheila's' that his parent both go on about.

While his mother insists on dwelling on his blemishes (spots) and dwells on his skin breaking out, he's more concerned with coming out (at least to himself).

Heartfelt but badly conceived
ArchObler9 October 2002
A teenage boy is encouraged to go to a dance and have a girlfriend by his separated parents, but he secretly likes men. There is a bleakly moving father-son conversation that contrasts fatally with irritating over the top scenes involving a fruity clothes store manager and the boy's goofy sexual fantasies. **1/2 out of ****
