Hunky Caleb (Scott Lansford) is a laid-back guy who has the hots for aggressive girls. He falls for Gwen (Emily Stiles) a VERY aggressive girl who only goes for gay guys. Caleb's roommate Kyle (Jim Verraros) tells Gwen that Caleb is gay. Gwen is immediately attracted to him and pairs him up with her hunky gay roommate Marc (Ryan Carnes). Unfortunately Kyle is in love with Marc. Got all that? It all culminates in a supposedly "hilarious" dinner party.
Horrid movie. The plot is just old hat--a straight guy playing gay--how many times have we seen this? Also everybody acts like idiots. At any time in this movie Caleb could have just set Gwen and Marc straight--but he never does. Also the film has more than a few homophobic comments--at one point Gwen believes Caleb is a virgin and says, "Shouldn't you try NORMAL sex before gay?" That's not funny just blatantly offensive. The script is dreadful--the characters don't talk like any person I've ever met in my life. They use this slang which is supposed to be funny but it's just confusing and annoying.
Acting--Lansford underplays Caleb....but his character IS supposed to be passive so it works. He's also exceptionally handsome with a great body. Carnes is also very handsome with a great body. Too bad he can't act. And they both have a frontal nude scene (which was surprising). Verraros overacts dreadfully as Kyle--he comes across as whiny and stupid--very annoying. But Stiles is much worse--she overacts so much she makes Verraros look restrained! She screams every line and is basically attacking Caleb even when he's dating Marc! She also brutally tells Kyle off at the end and is wearing the most atrocious hair style I've ever seen. Caleb is attracted to HER???
I saw it at the Gay & Lesbian Film Festival in Boston. The audience did laugh occasionally--but mostly they sat there in dead silence. This is a truly horrendous gay film. It's too bad because the two leads ARE hot and have no trouble showing their bodies. But I can't recommend this at all. The worst film of 2004--it's THAT bad!
Some people have called this the first of a new wave of gay cinema. If this is an example of things to come we're all in trouble.
