Gray Matters is a fantasy in search of a fantasizer.

This was just a sweet, romantic comedy with a touch of ‘old New York’ style thrown in.  For those of us who’ve endured the process of realizing one’s true nature and then coming out, and for those who can simply enjoy a romantic comedy, this is a fun little movie. 

Amidst all the sweetness (and, yay! a really cute ‘baby dyke’), was a poignant moment between sister and brother in an elevator, a moment that rings true for all GLBT people.  That alone merits this film a higher rating.

I agree that the movie certainly was cute, and its heart was in the right place, but I need my dialogue to be a whole lot snappier before my charm-reception kicks in.

The doctor says, "I think you need to let the idea of sharing your life with someone other than your brother enter your consciousness." No kidding.
