Gay and handsomely average Blaine (Nicholas Downs) can't even get a date while his hunky roommate Cameron (Adam Huss) has no problem. Then he meets handsome hunky Xander (David Loren) online. They get along but Blaine mistakingly sends Cameron's picture out to Xander instead of his own. He realizes the mistake but instead of immediately telling Xander he asks Cameron to play him. Tiresome "hilarity" commences.
I don't want to bash this low-budget gay romance/comedy/drama but I really didn't like it. It wasn't funny at all (I didn't even smile once), the romance didn't work (there was zero sexual chemistry between the actors) and the drama fell flat. There was some nice messages in it about being yourself and going out there and meet people but they were lost. Also the dialogue was pretty poor and the plot could have been resolved easily--but people are constantly doing and saying stupid things. It was far too predictable.
The acting does help a little. Downs was charming and convincing as Blaine. The trouble was I had a hard time believing he had trouble getting a date. He's actually a very good-looking guy! He's better looking than Adam Huss who overacts terribly and got on my nerves a lot. However he DOES have a nice body. Loren was incredibly handsome, charming and hunky as Xander. He definitely made the film worth watching. Michelle Laurent was annoying as the obligatory str8 girlfriend of Blaine and Bruce Gray was downright intolerable as Ernie. If you're thinking of watching it for sex or nudity forget it. The closest they get to nudity is Huss in tight shorts and there's no sex at all. The couple of kissing scenes we get are obviously NOT being enjoyed by the actors.
So this is worth maybe one viewing for the hot guys and pretty good acting by Downs and Loren...but that's it. I can truthfully only give this a 2.
