This was a great story that resonated with me in a way that standard film fare rarely accomplishes. I think that the summary provided fails to do the movie justice. This isn't about a bisexual man, it's about a man who has experienced so much and come to the conclusion that all he wants is normalcy. In spite of his impulses and weaknesses, he is seeking acceptance and commitment. These are themes that can touch every life. Wirey Spindell is Every Man.

I liked this movie!
Michael W. gave it an 8:
Well written, acted and funny! I can't understand why the critics dont get this...
Annie W. gave it a 6:
Bi-sexual??? Someone got that review wrong... A great story about life and how your experiences (whether by your choice or thrust upon you) mold who you are. I agree with another reviewer - if you're open to what is being said, it will stir you very deeply!
David T. gave it a 7:
Contrary to popular trends, I enjoyed this movie. The characters and events are obviously "extreme" to unbelievable at times but represent well the comming of age for white men in the 70's from both the rural and urban avenues. This is not about a bisexual male though, and to think so meens you don't really understand the heterosexual male, especially one from the 70's.
