Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

bammabonnie This movie is less about Jeff Key being gay as it is about any person's reaction and response to being in Iraq during a miserable mess of a war.Key is thoughtful, insightful and experiences all the confusion and bewilderment any of us would. I like it a lot. From his childhood in the South, in a white Christian family to the dessert of Iraq, we see Key's commitment to his country and how he developed it. I liked the scenes of his childhood, the Scouts, the patriotic parades, so much like our idealized version of hometown America,producing this sensitive young man. Key does a good job of demonstrating is growing sadness, yet reaffirms his commitment to his country and the Marines.

Bill Dup This film was so incredible that I felt I needed to sign up to the IMDb web site so that I would be able to make a comment here.Being a bisexual male, I would love to thank Jeff Key for this film's portrayal of his service as a gay marine. Being an American, I would love to thank Jeff Key for this film's portrayal of the war from a marine's point of view. To have both these features in one film was like combining two incredibly poignant documentaries into one. The fact that it is just one man's story constantly brings back the reality of the film.I wish that every American would watch this film, for one, because it is a glimpse of the reality of the U.S. occupation in Iraq, and two, because it exposes the incredible challenges gay people face at war as well as at home. I feel like this film will open some eyes. I personally can't wait to show my own father.Well done Jeff! Thank you for your courage to serve and for your courage to make this film. You are an incredible person and you have changed lives.

frankr315 I just saw this documentary on Showtime. It was nothing short of terrific. I, also, was in the military so I can identify with Jeff. This was one moving documentary. If Jeff is ever in your town with this one-man show go and see it. I had tears in my eyes at the end along with the actual audience who was watching his live performance. He is an eloquent speaker and you will be clinging to his every word. Our military men and women are heroes in every way. Everyone needs to support them. The only shame is that not everyone is allowed to be a soldier. I believed Jeff when he said he always wanted to be a soldier. And he sure was a good one. Do not miss this documentary and tell your friends about it.

PhantomDadoo As a retired Marine, I watched this film with a jaundiced eye, expecting some kind of whiny apologetic for gays being allowed to serve in the military. I figured it would be a kind of "Michael Moore-ish" blasting of the Marines. But what I saw was a real guy with a desire to serve his country who had the opportunity to serve in a war zone and try his part to do what America was told we were sent to Iraq to do: to bring democracy and freedom to the people there even though he had doubts about the war as a reaction to the 9/11 attack. I listened and watched Jeff Key deal with Iraqis, his fellow Marines and his sexuality in a mature, intelligent way. In the end, he felt compelled to admit his homosexuality and leave the Corps, but nothing I saw in the movie made he think he had done anything but serve his country and the Corps with honor. With interviews of family, friends from his gay life and from the Marines, films of his service in Iraq, and scenes from Key's one man show about his service, this movie ends up presenting, in a non-argumentative way, a persuasive argument for allowing gays to serve openly in the service.
