Much different in ways than the movie
By david
Mulligans is a film I really enjoy, and Charlie David is an actor whose work I really enjoy. When I realized he was an author as well, I wasn't sure what to expect. The book was better than the film, although with all due respect it usually is. But what makes this book better is that it goes deeper; there were several omens in the film where I went "there's something more going on here", and the book confirmed several of my suspicions.
Watch the movie, read the book, and support LGBTQ cinema and writing.

By It's About The Book
Charlie David wrote the screenplay for Mulligans, which was released as a film in 2008. David also starred in Mulligans, and served as an executive producer. Following the success of the film, he expanded the screenplay into a novel. Having seen this excellent film when it was first released (yet acknowledging the nuances had grown hazy in my memory), I jumped at the opportunity to read and review this second edition of the book.
My eagerness was rewarded with a beautifully written story. As the title suggests, it is a story of self-discovery, fragile truths, and potential new beginnings. Mulligans is not a romance, yet ultimately it is a love story — a masterfully woven depiction of love of family, love of friends, love of self.
This story is equal parts charming, uncomfortable, and enlightening. The focus is on choices, reactions, and consequences. Some we see on page, some we do not. I’ll state up front that the ending is rather bittersweet. However, the payoff is a bright infusion of hope and newfound strength.
*This review is going to contain spoilers, no way around it.
Chase and Tyler are both 20 year old college roommates. Fairly opposite personalities and backgrounds did not prevent them from becoming best friends. Tyler invites Chase to spend the summer at his family’s lake house. Spending time with Tyler and his family sounded like a dream come true to Chase. Little did he know that his upcoming, impromptu coming out was about to become the driving force of cataclysmic change in so many lives, including his own.
This story belongs primarily to Nathan and his wife Stacey. They are Tyler’s parents. The author does a superb job allowing the reader to visit their pasts through present interactions. Regrets and current despair are apparent. Nathan has a solid career and is devoted to his family, yet he has a little sense of self. He enjoys playing golf and tinkering with cars, but these are an escape from his reality more than the pursuit of his dreams. Being that he and Stacey became parents at the age of 16, he had never explored his attraction to men. At 36, he is feeling restless, unfulfilled and disenchanted. It was obvious that Nathan did not feel close to his wife. Chase appeared in Nathan’s life at a moment in time when both men were vulnerable. Given the dynamics we learn about in the story, I was sympathetic to Nathan.
Chase is extremely likeable. He comes across as well adjusted – if a bit sheltered — despite a hard knock childhood which included losing his dad, and having an emotionally absent mom. He’s also an aspiring artist and is eager to have an inspiring location to paint. Chase is gay, but he has yet to tell anybody about it. He has yet to act on it. Unlike Tyler, he is not at all experienced sexually. He has grown very close to Tyler, can’t imagine coming out to him, yet one day he chooses to do so. In the meantime, Chase meets Jarod at the lake, another young man who is not out. Chase feels elated when his sexual urges are kindled with Jarod, who seems so nice. Jarod bails when Chase needs him most, leaving Chase bewildered and angry. Afterward, when Chase finds he is alone with Nathan, they experience a heightened awareness of one another, which leads to sex and self- awakening. The reader is shown the spark, the hesitation, the eventual succumbing to attraction. Any actual sex is off page. The sex serves to open the eyes of the characters to bigger truths.
Stacey chose to make her family her entire life and has little sense of self outside of it. She is not unaware of Nathan’s truth, yet she’s done nothing proactive, nothing to help him, or their family, deal with it. She continues to wear a happy face and construct the façade of a “perfect” life until it inevitably disintegrates in front of her. When Nathan and Chase come together, Stacey’s initial reaction to this development seems unfair in light of the long history of emotional distance she has with Nathan. She came across as selfish, where as to me, Nathan did not.
To be fair, both Nathan and Stacey could have broached the elephant in the room sooner. Perhaps Nathan would have eventually, were it not for Chase. Chase naively, yet genuinely believed he was helping Nathan through a rough time. Neither man set out to seduce, but the moment and their connection proved a revelation to each of them. Despite their age difference, they were both experiencing a once in a lifetime, life changing moment together.
The dominos start to fall. Stacey confronts Nathan. Tyler confronts Nathan and Chase. Chase is mortified — he doesn’t want to lose his best friend. Stacey doesn’t want to lose her constructed life. Nathan sees a new life path opening up. Birdy, Tyler’s ten year old sister, is caught up in the fallout, but ultimately proves wiser than the adults. Tyler’s summer girlfriend, as someone who was removed from the immediacy of the situation, ends up offering him a rational viewpoint and sound advice.
The aftermath of Nathan’s secret being out in the open reminded me of a blister being burst. The discomfort had been growing for a long time, but once brought to the surface, healing began. The ending is far from tied up in a bow, but it is full of promise for fresh starts. Nathan, Stacey and Chase – Tyler, Jarod and Birdy too — all faced roads to travel that they hadn’t been down before. I was deeply moved by the closing pages of this story — they are ripe with forgiveness, love, strength, anticipation, and hope.
The potential relationship break-downs people face when confronted with buried truths is not an easy dynamic to explore. There is the risk of clichés, over dramatization, or having someone act completely out of character. David unspools his complex plot effortlessly, while genuinely exploring the actions and reactions of the characters. I was awestruck by the depth and flow of his gorgeous writing, via which his characters navigated some extremely trying situations. Much like Chase’s art, David’s words paint a brilliant, layered, raw, and powerful story.
Not to be missed. And now, I’m off to watch the film again.

Charlie David's Adaptation of His First Screenplay Delves Deeper into His Crafted World and the Characters that Reside There!
By Nicholas Richard Pearson
Having seen the talented Charlie David as a primary character in the guilty pleasure gay-themed supernatural soap drama 'Dante's Cove', and within other independent films, such as 'A Four Letter Word' and 'Kiss the Bride', amongst others, I was thrilled to see that he had turned his hand to writing and producing regarding his newest venture called 'Mulligans'. Charlie wrote the screenplay for this feature film, which centres around the theme of second chances using the golf-analogy of a mulligan, with interconnecting themes of family dynamics, brotherly friendship and the suppression of sexual orientation.
The film stars Charlie David as Chase and Derek James as Tyler Davidson, who are best friends spending the summer together at Tyler's parents' lakeside home. Whilst there, Chase decides to come out as gay to his best friend, and the Davidson family are thrust into a situation wherein they are forced to confront long-suppressed feelings of guilt and complacency. Tyler's mother, Stacie (portrayed by the brilliant Thea Gill of 'Queer as Folk' fame), is determined to be the perfect housewife and mother to both Tyler and youngest daughter Birdie, played by newcomer Grace Vukovic, who delivers her role splendidly with innocent questioning of the world around her. Stacie's husband and Tyler's father, Nathan (played by Dan Payne) seems to be more interested in his golfing hobby of late which is an annoyance to his wife, who suspects that that their marriage might be suffering due to a lack of communication. Events unfold between Nathan and Chase, with Nathan ultimately admitting hidden feelings that he has suppressed throughout his marriage.
Distributed in 2009 by Palari Books, this adaptation of the film's screenplay by Charlie David, attempts to explore more deeply the characters that he, himself, has crafted and presented to the viewers of 'Mulligans'. Inner thoughts are flushed out as the reader is shown how much Nathan is holding back regarding his feelings towards Chase and, likewise, Chase is portrayed in an empathetic and relatable manner, that guides the reader into understanding how the two characters become so emotionally and physically entangled. Stacie is shown to be a strong-willed woman, determined to keep her family together, and Tyler's jock-centric personality is as humorously presented as Derek James portrays in the movie. Also, plot elements that do not have such mention in the film are given much more prevalence here, such as the relationship between Chase and Jarod, which sets the mood for what is to come, and adds more intricate meaning to the production's main theme of being given second chances. Because the film portrays Jarod as a very minor character and as a background straight friend of Tyler's (although the deleted scenes within the DVD extras show this wasn't always the filmmaker's intention), it is interesting to explore an additional point-of-view that adds a deeper layer to the story of Chase's developing sexual and emotional maturity.
Accompanying the main novel within this book release are advertisements and blurbs from other books distributed by Palari Books, including Charlie David's second writing venture, 'Boy Midflight'. Also, Charlie David offers a glimpse into how his writing process began and how 'Mulligans' came about, with background information examining the real-life inspirations for the characters within the production and within the novel.
Essentially, 'Mulligans' is a quaint story with good intentions of exploring complicated issues within a family unit, adding a gay-themed element that has probably affected quite a lot of people in similar situations. Fans of Charlie David will no doubt enjoy his first outing as novelist of what is a rather moving and enjoyable read about life choices, relationships and, above all else, second chances. Ultimately, I found that reading the book gave me a deeper appreciation of the movie; providing an empathetic link that is maybe not so easy to grasp by simply watching the feature production alone (available on DVD, distributed by Wolfe Video/Border2Border Entertainment with accompanying commentary and additional extras).
