I think Valentine's Day is kinda silly - especially in the years when I don't have a Valentine! This is one of those years but I understand that many of you will be making this a special romantic evening with candy and fowers and dinner etc. So if you are in the mood to settle in and watch a gay romance after dinner, allow me to recommend you see "Big Eden." It's an unlikely love story that ends on a very sweet note. It's about an artist named Henry (Arye Gross), who leaves New York for Big Eden, the picturesque Montana village where he grew up, to care for his ailing father.
Years earlier, Henry had left Big Eden because of an unrequited love. Upon seeing his recently divorced high-school buddy, Dean Stewart (Tim DeKay), Henry realizes that his feelings haven't changed. Dean, however, as far as anyone knows is not interested in guys. Though strange things do happen in Big Eden. Meanwhile, the local store owner, Pike Dexter (Eric Schweig), falls for the returning Henry.
It's a sweet film, and different from a lot of the more well-known gay titles out there. Here are some others I have seen and liked where love wins out in the end: "Beautiful Thing," "Maurice," "Come Undone," and "All Over The Guy."
