why the rating is so low?


It should be 8 at least.weird
I mean why do people who hate gays force themselve to watch this movie.
Do not watch these kind of movies if you're a homophobic.
I gave it 10

You're naive. People who hate gays won't see the movie, but they'll come here to give it a '1' rating.

7.6 is really quite high. The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather are #1 and #2 with 9.2's.

Dear paula this movie deserves 8 or higher rating.
you should check out the number of people who have voted.you can check out ordinary movies like Easy A and you'll see that even that movie's rating is 7.!!!!!
that's why I'm saying that this movie deserves much much higher rating and reviews.damn!!!!!!

Well, perception is everything, isn't it. Considering the rampant homophobia in the US, I think a 7.8 rating is pretty damn good. If it had an 8.0 it would be close the Top 250 films on IMDB, and IMDB has THOUSANDS of films. The only thing that keeps it out of the top 250 is that little .2 and not enough votes; less than 60K. The Shawshank Redemption has almost a million votes, yet it was a box office failure!
