I just love this movie for its entertainment value. I can watch it over and over again. You know that this is low budget and it shows. The blocking is poorly done, but that was because of limited space; Great story. There really was chemistry between the two leading actors. They both are adorable looking and their acting made the two characters adorable. I bought the movie to see James Marks (playing Richard - the adorable white guy). He was almost the only male actor in the movie that you didn't see in the nude (the director explains why in the commentary). This was my main disappointment and I would have liked this actor to have been part of the commentary. I would have redone some scenes and reworked some of the scripting, but it still tells a cute love story with a bit of innocence. If you don't get hung up on production values and can still enjoy a good young gay love story with the main characters being cute, then this is a must see. I believe the main actors do a well enough acting job to make their character endearing.

Knowing it's a low-budget film, there are some lousy production values I can ignore, like bad sound and cinematography (this had both) but this just had bad everything. I can even look past bad acting (which this also had in spades.) But pile on bad directing, really bad writing, painfully slow pacing, and horrible editing, and it's all just too much to bear. I had trouble watching it. The white guy is freaking adorable, though.

I'm sorry, but I looked beyond the quite obvious flaws and absolutely loved this film. I would have re-cast the mother, re-written several parts of the script, and directed the actors differently in a couple of scenes, but I still loved this movie! The guys are so cute -- especially Jay Wong (to steal a phrase from the character, 'I'd love to dip my chopsticks in his rice bowl!'). and they had a realistic chemistry going which came across quite nicely. Genuine and fun. That winsome smile of Jay's just grabbed me and I loved the very real way in which the two principle leads played with each other and obviously had fun in some of the more intimate scenes. I have several favourite gay movies which have a much larger budget, better scripts and direction, and better talent, but this one still managed, despite the problems with the film, to take me into the lives of the characters and engage me. I've watched it many times since my initial viewing and still find it a joy. That's more than I can say for other gay films I've purchased, films with impeccable production values. Time for me to go out and find my own Asian boy!

Sure, it's low budget, sure the talent is less than Oscar quality, but the universal situation it presents is indeed worth our while to participate in. The two young men are exceedingly attractive and winsome. Those of us who know Asians believe the storyline strikes a realistic stance. Besides, the skin is very erotic. I won't soon forget that semi-erect member. I could swear there was real electricity between our two young actors. I wish there were. I for one long for the gentleness that UNDER ONE ROOM highlights.
