Slightly overdone tale of unrequitted love revisited November 16, 2008
Bob Lind (Phoenix, AZ United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Two teenagers, Jake and Kyle, camping out under the rural "Arizona Sky" (2008), realize what they feel for each other is much more than "best buddies." But Jake's father is forcing him to move away the next day, and Kyle is afraid of others finding out about their relationship, so they never get the chance to express their love physically.
Fast forward fifteen years, and Jake is a successful filmmaker in Hollywood, a job that has more than its share of 24/7 pressure. The job's demanding nature actually made it easier for him to excuse the fact that he had no social life, and is, indeed, still aching over the unrequitted love for Kyle. At the urging of his straight best friend and roommate, they take a week off and go back to visit Jake's home town, and he looks up Kyle, who still lives in that town. Does Kyle still feel the same way, and is there any chance they can pick up where they left off so many years ago?
Director Jeff London is known for these overdone syrup-sweet gay romances, and this is better than most, including some great casting. The young actors who play the leads as teens have a real chemistry, and actually resemble Eric Dean (Jake) and Jayme McCabe (Kyle) who play them as adults. The supporting cast is also excellent, but all suffer a bit from the heavy-handed direction. The sound is a bit strange, as the microphones seem to be switched on to capture a line, then turned off immediately, so background noise comes and goes with it. DVD has director/actor commentary and chapter stops only. Overall, it is a pleasant film, and I'd give it four stars out of five.

"Arizona Sky"
First Love

Kyle and Jake were special friends when they were teenagers and even though they wanted to show each other how they really felt for each other, living in a small town did not allow them that option. Finally Jake moved away and Kyle stayed behind but never forgot his best friend or his first love. Now, twenty one years later, each man realizes that his life did not go the way he wanted or planned. Jake moved to the big city but finds himself unhappy in big business. Kyle had planned to go to college but ended up staying home and taking care of his mother, minding the horses and working in a small-time diner. When Jake comes back on a vacation, the two find that their feelings for each other have not changed. It was probably a panic attack that caused Jake to return and when the two men reconnect the spark of their love is reignited. Kyle, however, is in the closet but upon seeing Jake, his feelings come forward. Kyle and Jake spend time reacquainting themselves with each other and with the help of family; they discover how important happiness is.
There is a great deal of sweetness here and I am glad to say that director Jeff London has really come far after his last film. I love movies like this that have that touch of romance--they make one feel good all over.
