Overrated and overhyped

Awesome Movie

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I rented Nine Dead Gay Guys on a whim. I thought that, judging by the title alone, it should be funny. I was right. This movie impressed me very much, the same way Clerks did when I first watched it. Like that movie, this movie gets better every time you watch it. I don't know why this movie was reviewed so poorly. Perhaps it made people uncomfortable to watch it. I will admit that the first time I watched it, I was unable to connect with the movie and characters until about 1/3 of the way through it. After I watched it for a while I found it quite enjoyable. This movie has a wonderful amount of memorable quotes to keep you interested. I pity anyone who misses out on "Golders Green's Really Hard Red Bull Test" All in all a fantastic movie that hopefully time will not forget.

This picture generally works for what it is, a rather silly dirty joke pleasantly pulled off by the well-played leads on an eccentric cast of Felliniesque gays. The assortment of grotesques give it enough sparkle to keep it amusing for 82 minutes, and a couple of the bits are first-rate crude. This seedy British comedy certainly wins out over the stupid frat-boy comedies that glut the American movie market trying to give out the same dose of offensive humor. It amazes me that some reviewers used the stupid term "politically incorrect" when making their analysis of such a harmless, rather cartoonish sex comedy like this one. The Iron Lady bits were the best and the colorist did a notably terrific job with the saturated look of the picture.

9 Dead Gay Guys is fast paced - looks and sounds great - and has plenty of intrigue and genuinely funny moments. It's best point is in being totally non-apologetic in basing it's humour firmly on in-house gay and lesbian "lifestyle" scenarios. So there may be plenty of gays and lesbians (without a sense of humour) who will be finding insults galore - and there will also be plenty of straights who miss the point of some of the jokes completely. I think it's great that a high class product such as this has been made especially for a niche target. Now the big test is whether gay movie-goers give it the support that the film-makers deserve, and whether straight audiences can laugh along with us as we squirm in our seats.10 stars (screened at Brisbane's Queer Film Festival in April 2003)

I had no idea what to expect when I walked in and was still wiping tears from my eyes when I came out! This film is the funniest I've seen for ages. "Politically incorrect" just doesn't do it justice - it pokes wicked fun at almost every minority group and most of the majority ones as well! The audience was creased! I might not recommend it to my Mum, but I know all my friends will love it. Steven Berkoff and Michael Praed are great, the music is really good - I even liked the front credits. I should have given it 10 instead of 9!
