Take the plunge! Love Me if You Dare is great.

First: there is Wallace as Simon making white button downs look Amazing. His face is a joy to watch in this show, he makes the best expressions, especially later in the show when he's gotten comfortable around her.

Secondly: Simon has the BEST friends:

1. A talking car that likes to play mood music to match the conversation until chastised and it sometimes follows Simon around like a big puppy.

2. A turtle that apparently shares his bed.

3. A wealthy, ultra smart tech guru of a best friend who supposedly has a job because we see his office suite, but really seems to just play laser tag, help Simon with his housing issues, give Simon all the best tech toys (like the car), and work with Simon when the case requires a computer guy. And be sweet and charming and supportive at all times.

Plenty of mind games and creepy psychos too, but all the great supporting characters and the charming romance keeps it from getting too dark.

A great romance movie. I don't seek out BL stories, but will watch them if they appeal to me on the same ground as any other romance. This one has a great rom-com setup with the two leads: One guy has a rough personality at odds with his angelic face which leads to him being very disillusioned with physical attraction after constantly being rejected for who he really is (as opposed to his looks). The other guy is so desperate to love someone and be truly loved in return that he is willing to give it a try with...well anyone who asks. The setup leads to a lovely and believable story of two people finally finding acceptance and love. The problems they deal with in this and the second part (Friday-Sunday), are born from their different interpretations of how their relationship started and their own insecurities.

The acting is nicely done and the cinematography is good with some really nice visuals.
