Synopsis

If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Timothy, prone to escaping his dismal high school reality through dazzling musical daydreams, gets to answer that question in a very real way. After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, he stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the play’s magical, purple love-pansy. Armed with the pansy, Timothy’s fading spirit soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends and enemies in this chaos, Timothy forces them to walk a mile in his musical shoes. The course of true love never did run smooth; it’s a bumpy ride. —IMDb

A colorful array of characters, this is extremely well executed. The musical sequences work well and are cohesive with the film, and the cinematography is flawless. The direction, editing, and performances are all great. However, the only flaw is the last act. It's weaker than the other two, and feels like simple tying up loose ends, not really like a narrative. But aside from that, this is a nearly perfect film.

Bastante emotiva... Un buen rayo de alegria musical... Un poco melodramática, pero los aspectos centrales, reflejan un gusto particular por esos "Happy Endings" que se espera ver en una producción americana.
