Movie Reviews of Shelter
Movie Review: Touching
Summary: 5 Stars
Touching and thought provoking, this movie was well written, beautifully filmed and highly believable. The acting from all the main actors was excellent with particular credit due to the actor playing the main character, Zach. The soundtrack also deserves a mention and was very well done. Highly recommended.Movie Review: pleasantly surprised

Wow, I had given up on buying gay themed movies. They are usually poorly made with poor acting-very low budget. After watching Shelter I was soo surprised. It didn't look low budget. The story could of delve more into the characters self development but otherwise I was happy with the movie. And to think it actually had a happy ending. Bravo!!Movie Review: This is a Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Along with "Beautiful Thing" and "Yossi and Jaeger," Shelter takes its seat as a likable and pretty love story. This is the second movie about gay surfers I have seen along with the Australian flick "Tan Line." In what is considered a predominantly straight world, surfers, both of these movies explore the possibilities of gays among the ranks of these members.
There seem to be a great deal of reviewers with huge amounts of information about the movie so I am going to be brief. The movie is about the love that develops between two surfers Shaun (Brad Rowe) and Zack (Trevor Wright.) Zack comes from a dysfunctional family with a sister who is a single mother and her son Cody. Zack pretty much plays a father role to Cody and babysits him a lot. Shaun comes from a rich family who has a house by the beach. They both grew up together but Shaun being older than Zack. Shaun's brother is Zack's buddy.
Zack discovers he is gay after one night of drinking with Shaun. Shaun has just returned from LA who just broke with someone and was waiting to get a new place. Shaun kisses Zack and the turmoil begins.
Jeannie, Zack's sister, decides to move to Oregon with her new boyfriend. She dumps Cody on Zack. Zack finally comes to grips with his sexuality and decides to become a family with Shaun who adopts Zack and Cody.
Zack is a very talented artist who gets accepted to an Art College with a full scholarship. Shaun is a writer for Hollywood. And Jeannie abandons her son.
That is the movie in a shell. I like how Zack is portrayed as a caring, selfless, loving young man. The movie also projects that a men gay couple can be loving parents, that is definitely a plus.
This a good movie and a great love story. The men look very masculine, with Trevor Wright having that beautiful rough exterior. Wonderful cast and super job for the director.
Movie Review: Awesome!!!!!

I heard about Shelter on Afterelton.com, read the reviews, watched the trailer, and being a fan of Gay Cinema, became really curious as to how this one was going to be. I've seen a lot of gay cinema; and I find it unfortunate to say that a large quantity of it has been... less then par. It's either bad writing, low production value to the point of hurting the story telling, it's too weird....
Shelter is a very well told, well produced film that deserves every award it's won. The acting is good, the shots are beautiful and for once, it's a gay film that [SPOILERS]
...actually ends happily. I must say that I found this just as, if not slightly more enjoyable then Brokeback Mountian
