Storyline

Henry Hart is a young gay artist living in New York City. When his grandfather has a stroke, Henry puts his career on hold and returns home to the small town of Big Eden, Montana, to care for him. While there, Henry hopes to strike up a romance with Dean Stewart, his high-school best friend for whom he still has feelings. But he's surprised when he finds that Pike, a quiet Native American who owns the local general store, may have a crush on him.

What's subversive about it is that it looks just like any other romantic comedy except that some men love other men. Imagine that: social justice, racial harmony, peaceable kingdoms, and a cup of cappuccino at the general store.

Too concerned with being quirky and endearing and soon runs out of local charm.

RTWashington PostJan 6, 2002

Other than this gay-friendly gimmick, Bezucha's plot is as hoary as they come.

As a portrait of a homophobia-free heartland the title is right on—this is an Eden all right.
