Important issues unresolved by Roderick Keech (Australia)  4 Stars
February 01, 2009
LTR is the first film I have seen that deals with sexual incompatability in an otherwise intensely loving relationship, straight or gay. As this is the main premise of this movie, I felt it brought a fresh and candid approach to the romantic genre.
Unfortunately, while dealing with the matter in a frank way, the resolution was never made clear.
We experienced the failed attempts, the confidences shared with a parent, and the general knowledge of the situation by their friends.
What we didn't discover was how the loving couple resolved the dilemma.
Did they decide sex wasn't important, and decide to marry and enjoy their love and companionship instead ? Did they decide sex was important, married and sought help with their problem ?
No satisfactory answer is provided, unless you assume that marriage cures all and they lived happily ever after.
This is a brave film that tackled a real issue but delivered no real answers. Maybe that is expecting too much from what some may feel is essentially a romantic comedy, but I feel if the writer makes this the main premise of the film he has a responsibility to provide a more real-life resolution. Is it enough to merely raise the issue ?
I'm giving this 4 stars for the premise and congratulate the film makers for taking on a subject that has affected most adults at some time in their life (sexual incompatability).
I'm disappointed by other reviewers juvenile comments about FFN (grow up), but agree that some of the dialogue could have been a little more polished. But, if you compare the budget that this film was probably made and the important social issues raised against a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster, you have to hand it to them. Almost there.

A lame romantic comedy by Ian Manning (Australia)  1 Stars
October 16, 2008
This is a lame effort from Here films, that had me winding on
my rental DVD several times.
Despite being based on a comic strip, 'The mostly Unfabulous Social life of Ethan Green, from the same stable, had a pleasant realism, deftness, wit & cute cast, that 'Longterm..' sadly lacked.
The script, stock cliched characters, acting & direction, all had the feel of a cheap & failed sitcom.
The scene where Glenn reveals to his flatmate, that his new boyfriend is a Republican - shock, horror - is labored beyond belief !
Considering the potentially interesting 'bad sex' angle within this film, ( never convincingly explained ), the expected happy ending drains any credibility from this turkey.
Don't waste your money !

It's an okay movie for what it's worth... by Daniel Runyon (Greensboro, NC)  3 Stars
September 30, 2008
The movie starts out rather slow and some cheezy (no offense) acting scenes and lines used. Overall the story line was good...although the ending was rather predictable. For the price...it was well worth it.

Heartwarming Love Story by T. Willett (Huntsville, AL) 5 Stars
August 28, 2008
Windham Beacham and Matthew Montgomery certainly have the chemistry necessary to make their characters believable. And, Rob Williams' writing and directing brings off the reality of the story and the characters. This is one of the most heartwarming love stories I have ever seen.
