“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Ben and Arthur (2002)
How bad is it? It's incoherent and inconsistent.

This is a basic gay love story, but with an improbable plot (a man gets ostracized from his church because his bother's gay) and very poor acting and dialogue. There are so many technical errors, mostly of continuity, that this has it's following. For example, it's mentioned that it's Vermont, yet there are palm trees. One guy's shirt is off, then on, then off, then on again, then off yet again, all in one scene. Overall, I found it dull; it's remarkably similar to the straight love story "The Room," which I should get to eventually.
