Benjamin is an out-of-the-closet theater kid, while Tim is the hunky town jock. When Benjamin discovers his attraction to Tim is reciprocated, this delightfully musical tale takes off. The boys relationship spans years, encapsulating all of the delirious highs and painful lows of young love. This crowd-pleaser brings a beloved series of YA novels to life as these two young men explore the complex lines between being friends, lovers, and strangers. (Outfest Los Angeles)

Something Like Summer failed with me mainly because of the unlikeable lead actor (and character) and a script that was a little too romance at times. The songs weren't bad, they even fit the plot, but I still personally didn't like the musical feel. What I did like, though, is that the story was spread out over a larger time period, with the line with Jaco being the most interesting. I really had to shake my head at times, especially because of the irrational behaviour of the main character. If the whole film had been in a similar vein to the last quarter of an hour, I would definitely have gone higher with the rating. Too bad!
