Summary: my favorite film...ever
Review: "Beautiful Thing" has the amazing ability to touch something inside that we all have felt as teens. It's the first and only time that a film has captured that indesribable feeling of first love. Coupled with the working-class setting, Jonathan Harvey's tale is absolutely beautiful. Towards the end of the film is a scene not in the original play. After the boys have discovered each other, they are finally free to be with each other alone in the woods - it's the now-famous "Make Your Own Kind of Music" scene. It's truly the most beautiful scene I've ever seen. I could watch it a zillion times.

Summary: A Truly Beautiful Film
Review: "Beautiful Thing", starring Linda Henry (Jamie's mom) and Glen Berry (Jamie), is a great gay themed drama for many to enjoy. It was released in 1996 and filmed in the UK. Its theme of two teenage next door neighbors who fall in love takes a further creative turn. The various plot details give this film further viewing depth, especially the numerous Mama Cass references, the mother struggling day by day, and Jamie's lover Ste's (Scott Neal) daily struggles. Therefore, this film is more than just a gay film. The expressed issues to its level offer the realistic education of everyday living, especially as a gay teen. Though, it also explores self-destruction, alcoholism, domestic abuse, and others.
Beyond this brilliant plot is potential acting from the cast, especially Henry. Her character's everyday living and emotional pain is wonderfully expressed. Her performance offers the highest emotional value of the film. Berry and Neal prove in their powerful performances that they have great potential for acting growth in the future. Both have various scenes that prove their true acting talents.
"Beautiful Thing" is a great film recommended for more than just gay teens. A variety of audiences will surely enjoy this. Those wanting more gay teen themed issues should also watch "Get Real" (1999). Such combination makes great entertainment pleasure.

Summary: Great Film - Terrible sound
Review: "Beautiful Thing" is a fantastic "feel good" movie. One of the best, but I had to drop a star because the sound is godawful. Volume and tone jump all over the board making it frustrating to watch. You have to keep changing the volume. I understand the DVD has the same problem. Too bad because this is my favorite low-key film since "Bagdad Cafe".

Summary: Accurate, funny, and sincere
Review: "Beautiful Thing" is by far one of the best movies I have ever seen. It deals with the touchy subject of homosexuality in a sincere and heartwarming manner. The acting is superb and was worthy of Oscar nominations. This story is both touching and important. If more directors would do justice to issues such as this the movie industry would do a great credit to itself.

Summary: Shai'Dee says "There is nothing more beautiful than this."
Review: "Beautiful Thing" is just that a beautiful thing. Never before has there been a movie that captures the essence of living on the outside looking in or the akwardness of love and life. This movie creates such an emotional stir that every gay teen needs to see it to feel the moment. This movie depicted the moment of self-discovery and acceptance as a "beautiful thing" and I give a my regards to the director for her vision.

Summary: Glad I Saw It
Review: ...I loved it. It's the kind of thing that really makes you feel good, but it's very quiet in its own way. You want the characters to be bolder, but if you're like me, you realize that you shouldn't put so much pressure on them- you're not that bold either. ... All in all, it's a very accurate picture of what discovering your [self] actually means. And I have to say,..., the kid who played Jamie was actually pretty cute. He had a nice smile. (Well, he was cute! What can I say...

Summary: Makes you feel good inside!
Review: A "Beautiful Thing" is such an uplifting film which leaves you feeling good inside. It was actually the first movie, that I had ever seen that dealt with homosexual issues. Still now, this movie, in mine eyes, is the number one gay movie! Leah (Tameka Empson) gives the movie a blast of taste that leaves you laughing. The relationship that Jamie (Glen Berry) and Ste (Scott Neal) has is so innocent and pure love. "Just Refreshing"! Everyone should see this film at least one time!
