Neil Genzlinger New York Times Jan 22, 2010
3/5
This modest movie, with a side plot that looks unblinkingly at gay-bashing among high school students, deserves to attract crossover customers. Go to Full Review Ellie Lucas From the Front Row Aug 5, 2019
2.5/4
A very likable and often quite moving piece of entertainment, a film likely to please its target audience without breaking any new ground. Go to Full Review Fr. Chris Carpenter Movie Dearest Jan 23, 2010

Mar 7, 2014 This is a great film .I know it reflects my life and how memories affect every relationship I ha ve had since my first love. Indeed, the first love colors the rest of your life. It is something I would not give up for anything, but it is baggage. See more Jan 4, 2014 ...hmm the first love... See more Jun 4, 2013 A little slow but a film worth watching. See more Apr 14, 2013 Watercolors is emotional and a nice coming-of-age film, but its storytelling is too messy and some dialogue is truly disappointing. See more Oct 16, 2012 modest movie about 2 gays meeting See more Jul 23, 2012 Tye Olson as the gay teen Danny is outstanding in this coming of age story with a very tearful outcome that left me in years.
