Filmoria's Take: Audience reaction has been solid without being universal. It has had time to find its audience by now. If you are into Fantasy, it is worth a look.
Tanner Cohen reminded me of Adam Lambert (whom I'd love to see actually play "Puck") in this over-the-top but enjoyable musical spin on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I'll admit at the start I sighed and thought - no, not another gay teen angst movie, but no - he is a put-upon gay lad at school who happens upon a magical spell that makes every other boy at the school fall in love (or lust, at any rate) with other boys - and he gets one for himself, of course. Soon, just about the entire town are captured in his web of mischief. Anyone who has read the play will appreciate that "Puck" is one of the best comic characters in English literature, and Cohen does a better than decent job at marrying the frustrations and naughtiness of the fairy into a 21st century environment. Wendy Robie is also good as the drama teacher with a little extra bit of magic to her. It suffers a little from being a smidge too theatrical without the lighting budget to support it; and the singing isn't magnificent - but all in all, a courageous effort from Tom Gustafson to tackle quite a tough project. Well worth a watch - but to get the best, it needs concentration.
Review via The Movie Database (TMDB)
This was actually a pretty good movie. A teenager gets a magic flower that turns people gay for a day and then we see what happens. A unique story and had some humor too. The only thing that I think would have been better is if we saw more of how people were affected after the spell wore off. We saw a little of that, but not much before the movie ended.
