I'd watched this movie a few days ago and I really like it. This is a LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) related film. The story involved a balance amount of straight romance and gay/lesbian romance which is why I love it so much! Okay, I'm gonna put everything under the cut to avoid causing any people who set their foot here uncomfortable.
Before I start anything, I'll put up the trailer first. Please don't judge the movie by the trailer. The crappy trailer failed to show this movie is way more better than that!
The story starts with Tru (Najarra Townsend) moves from San Francisco with her two lesbian mothers to a conservative small town in Southern California. She's trying to fit into the new school but it's not easy for her because everybody thinks she's a freak because she has two moms. The person who is the first one to really warmed up with her and friended (even dated) her is this closeted football player, Lodell (Matthew Thompson).
The story evolves from how Tru found out Lodell's sexuality, Lodell hiding in the closet, Tru formed Gay Straight Alliance with a gay boy, Walter, Tru fall in love with Trevor and to Lodell comes out.
The thing that I love most about this movie is that it deals with the current gay issue brilliantly! the discrimination of gay people, the hate crimes, how narrow-minded the society still is..It really brings out the awareness. It shows that gays are just normal people like you. They love like normal people. They don't deserve to be treated differently and badly. They deserve equal rights with straight people (NO H8!).
My favourite characters of this movie will be the lesbian moms and the gay dads!
They're so sweet and funny! Gosh, whenever they show up, I LOL-ed. The most important is they're so adorable, cute and so in love when they're with each other. Actually, the lesbian moms remind me a little bit of my favourite couple, TiBette.
And, surprise surprise!! Jane Lynch is in the movie too!!!! But, she only appear at the end of the movie..at the commitment ceremony of the lesbian moms!! I squeed and jumped out from the chair when I saw her! I have no idea why the hell she only shows up at that time. I mean, the movie will be even more awesome if she shows up at the starting of the movie!!
"Tru Loved" is in the top 5 of the list of my favourite LGBT movies! It's an very much enjoyble watch and very educating. Love it!
p/s: This will be my very last post for the moment. Because the following subjects are the tough ones, PSP, Chemistry and Biology. Will only start posting again after the finals end! Wish me luck! =)
