I'd been wanting to watch this for ages, it's been raved about so much in the lesbian community that I just had to watch it so, I did! Okay so, theres Maggie (Karyyn Dwyer) who's quit uni and works in a book store, is sleeping on the couch in the back. Obviously not an ideal situation, so she lets an apartment. Then theres Kim (Christina Cox) who goes from place to place in a van doing portraits. They meet, fall in love and move in together after the van gets impounded. Maggies mom comes to visit, and she doesn't know she a lesbian. What follows is a romp to protect her mom from the truth, although she finds out in the end any. Throw in a transgendered female, some dildo's, a bit of bonking in the loo's of the local dyke bar, and you've got yourself an average coming out film. I didn't love, but I didn't hate it either. It was okay for what I wanted it to do, which was fill in an otherwise boring monday evening.

This would be a far better review if you added some information about the actors/acresses, etc. If you update please leave a message in my guestbook and I'll be happy to look at upgrading my rating. Thanks
