Reuniting the actors from his hit film Long Term Relationship, director Rob Williams Back Soon is a tender, sexy drama that explores the depths of love, loss, identity and hope. Still grieving his wife's death, aspiring actor Logan (Windham Beacham) is inexplicably drawn to reformed drug dealer Guillermo (Matthew Montgomery, Gone, But Not Forgotten). While neither are gay, the pair are baffled when their friendship blossoms into more. But as their relationship deepens Guillermo's mysterious past erupts and a startling revelation about the true nature of their connection threatens to destroy it and change their lives forever.

Summary: Not just another gay love story....
Comment: Does love end with death?
When we first meet Logan Foster, he is in a hospital anxiously waiting for a doctor to come out and tell him how his life is about to change. The next time we see him he is in his living room packing away all the things that made the house a home. He's selling it, he can no longer live in the house without his beloved wife "too many ghosts" as he explains.
It's been a year since his wife died; everyone is telling him it's time to move on, to get past it. But how do you get past losing the only person you have ever loved, or will ever love? How do you just one day say goodbye and let that be the end. On the first day of the open house Logan is mistaken for the real-estate agent by a potential buyer Guillermo "everybody just calls me Gill" Ramirez. Logan gives him a tour of the house and is compelled to sell him the house. Not because of anything other than a gut feeling he's following. He heart has over ruled his head.
That should be the end of it but something strange happens. Logan and Gill strike up an unlikely friendship. Even though these are two men from vastly different backgrounds; Logan is a struggling actor with a few bad indie movie credits and Gill as we come to find out is an ex-drug dealer. One night they become closer than they ever dared imagine possible. Especially since both men are straight.
No this isn't a film about repressed men figuring out who they really are and finding away to live with it and setting themselves and each other free. We've all seen that story before. As Gill tells his friend Jamie after first sleeping with Logan "this is something new." These are two straight men, who fall deeply in love with one another but who are not attracted to other men only each other.
As the film develops we find out how it can be that these two men can be in love with each other. We find out that love has no limits, not even death. And we find out the nature of loss, and what unconditional love can be.

Summary: Matthew Montgomery is hot. Well, that's about it...
Comment: Being gay, I always want to like gay movies. And I probably rate higher on a gay movie on its straight counterpart. So I was thinking I should give this one a 3-star just for the effort. Somehow I just couldn't bring myself to it.
You read my review title, so you know how I feel about the movie. At times I felt I couldn't decide whether the director meant for it to be funny, or it's just so bad that it's becoming funny. One advice for the director: Take a lesson from Jonah Markowitz, the director of "Shelter", a movie that in my opinion is everything how a gay movie should be.

Summary: tak, talk, talk.
Comment: too much talk - empty talk; and that's it. That's what you'll get from this movie. Disappointing. Boring.

Summary: The Guest House Boys Strike Again
Comment: A big fan of "Long-Term Relationship", "Back Soon" was a must see for me. Windham Beacham and Matthew Montgomery once again displayed that magic chemistry. And Rob Williams' writing is indeed versatile....combining gay, straight and the supernatural. If you're a sentimental romantic, your eyes will mist on this one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Interesting film
Comment: Since I liked "Long-term Relationship" so much, I bought "Back Soon" because I knew it has the same cast and director. I am very glad I did.
This movie has some compelling acting performances and some very original and interesting plot lines. Matthew Montgomery and Windham Beacham once again sizzle together on screen and Maggie Eilertson as Beacham's dead wife does a marvelous job in her role. As independent films go, this one is excellent, add in the gay romance and this one enters my top twenty favorite indie films of all times.
(I don't want to give away the plot, but think "Ghost" meets "Return to Me" and somwhere in-between you get "Back Soon.")
