This is about a young teenager who was leading a perfectly happy straight life with his family; has a good friend group and a girlfriend that everyone likes. Then one day a new family moves into the house across the street with a gay son the same age. It is not long before the two boys meet and the one begins to realize some stuff about himself and that he might not be so straight after all. His realization causes him to act out and just basically be difficult to deal with for everyone until he is finally able to admit his feelings to himself and everyone else. The romance is cute and playful and it captures that feeling of when you first realize you want something more from your best friend and it had a happy ending. The only, kind of, downside - the movie moves at a slow pace and it takes them awhile before they get to the main storyline.
