Originally, ''Love is all you need?'' was a 2012 short film by Kim Rocco Shields, detailing the life of a heterosexual theater-loving girl falling for her male classmate in the world, where [[HetIsEw heterosexuality was tabooed]] [[PersecutionFlip and prosecuted]], [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything just like homosexuality is in ours]]. After a period of initial obscurity the short suddenly rose to fame on Website/YouTube, prompting Rocco Shields to make a full-length movie in 2016. The movie expands upon the story from the original short, while also adding another story of a star quarterback Jude Klein falling in love with Ryan Morris, a shy but sweet journalist with both girls facing [[OutOfTheClosetIntoTheFire dire consequences]] after [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset others find out about their sexuality]]. The film also goes into more detail about the attitude towards heterosexuality than the short did: the church officials [[HeteronormativeCrusaders preach against it, as do officials of all levels]], there are derogative slurs for heterosexuals and the bullies of all ages are more than happy to brutalize people for their 'deviant' sexuality.

Vicky is also the one, who wants her daughter to get into football and pays for her coaching and demands to know what happened when Emily comes home [[spoiler:after getting beat up and defaced]] in both versions. Karen in the meantime acts more emotionally and gently and [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure seems to be more encouraging when it comes to her daughter's hobbies]].
