Traveling to Olympia (2001 Video)
Well intentioned, but...
2 September 2002
This film is well intentioned but very amateur. It's hard to imagine a film this technically poor (it's shot on video) getting a home video release. I guess it can be marketed to the gay home video market, since it has cute naked guys in their twenties. The script is weak and unfocused. Actors mumble their lines like they can't remember them. There are several moments when the story takes a sudden left turn into soft-core sex scenes. (Less than a porn video but more than you see on one of those Showtime `for adults' films.) One such scene includes characters who are not involved in the regular story, which makes for a confusing moment. (And what the young hottie sees in the old senator is a mystery t me.)

For some reason, characters have absurd amounts of money, which solves any problem they might encounter. While the film is commendable for its belief that gay teenage boys (especially cute ones. No ugly guys here.) should be free from prejudice, it's just too poor in its creative and technical sides to recommend.
