A gay romantic drama, Like It Is explores the relationship that develops between Craig (Steve Bell), a young Blackpool, England, street fighter, and Matt (Ian Rose), an ambitious London talent promoter. The punch drunk, sexually unsure Craig is admittedly an odd match for the cultured, sure-footed Matt, a fact not lost on Matt's boss Kelvin (Roger Daltrey, who gets top-billing despite only a minor supporting role), a rich record producer and club owner who does his best to put additional distance between them. Capably acted, directed, and shot, with an energetic soundtrack that helps gloss over its rough patches, this moderately engaging drama is a strong optional purchase. (S. C. Sickles)
