Were the World Mine (2008) is a musical film directed by Tom Gustafson, and written by Cory James Krueckeberg and Tom Gustafson. Were the World Mine is a magical story of empowerment that culminates in a touching love story, inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Were the World Mine stars Tanner Cohen, Wendy Robie, Broadway star Judy McLane, soap opera legend Jill Larson, Nathaniel David Becker, and Zelda Williams.

Timothy is an openly gay student at a private boy’s school. Although now in his senior year, he is still persecuted by the aggressive rugby team. Timothy lives with his mother, who is struggling with her son’s sexuality, and his father is not a part of his life. Timothy is cast as Puck in the senior play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. While reviewing his lines, he discovers the recipe for a magical flower wielding the power of love. Timothy utilizes the flower to have the bigoted town take a ‘walk in his shoes’. The entire town is thrown into chaos as previously heterosexual community members fall in love with their same-sex friends, bosses and co-workers. The school drama teacher guides Timothy towards the question of whether his actions have caused more harm than good. This film features several musical numbers.

Were The World Mine is a great movie, to be honest, I don’t like musical, because I find it kinda tacky, but this movie is not tacky at all, the stories are really imaginative and the music are great, I like the songs featured in the movie. Tanner Cohen did a great job in this movie, he and Nathaniel David Becker have a good chemistry going on in the movie, love them both
