I recommend it.

Great story line. Acting is a little rough but the whole story is great. Worth a watch.

It seems that nearly all of the independent, low-budget, gay-romance films I've seen have the same problems: technical limitations, some questionable scripting/acting and a general lack of polish. "Back Soon" is no exception... but like the others, it has a big ol' heart that keeps the film pumping and an integrity that I liked.
Unlike the others, however, it also relies on a bit of the supernatural for its main plot premise. The big question the film raises is this: Is true love also blind and never-ending?
"Back Soon" says it most certainly is. I won't give away too much of the story, but there is a big, obvious supernatural reason that straight boys Logan (Windham Beacham) and Gil (Matthew Montgomery) are brought together. And my favorite parts of the film are when they are examining this paradox. There's a sensitivity and rawness that struck me as original, fresh and surprisingly real. Montgomery's gruff, deep performance adds a lot to this dynamic; he carries the film.
The stumbling points of the film are all attributable to the relatively cheap budget and ridiculous supporting characters, from the nosy realtor, to the screaming-queen best pal, to the beyond-stereotyped gang-banga, to the ultra-perfect-but-dead wife, to the unbelievably (as in JUST. NOT. BELIEVABLE.) bigoted brother-in-law. Every time one of these two-dimensional losers graced the screen I couldn't wait for them to get back to the main characters.
At its core, "Back Soon" is a bit talky, and there are way too many moments of Logan staring off pensively into the distance. That said, I did love the goofy auditions-on-tape (Logan is an actor by trade) and "Trixie's Revenge", the incredibly bad movie-within-a-movie... it's a less than subtle reminder of how low a film like this could sink and doesn't.
Overall, the premise of this film saves it for me. I love the big questions it gently tackles enough to forgive it its shortcomings.

I don't know what the reviewer "Gordon Larko" is smoking. For some eason, he feels compelled to leave the EXACT SAME horrible review and 1 STAR rating for all GAY-THEMED movies. Probably a "personal problem" of his. Hopefully this review will help correct this imbalance. I can't believe AMAZON is allowing this GAY BASHER to use their website as a venue to spread his hate.
By the way, This is an absolutely WONDERFUL movie!

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.
