What a beautiful movie!
... View Moreone of my absolute favorites!
... View MoreAfter playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreThe Queen is dead. Long live the queens.9 Dead Gay Guys is so out there, it works. The relationship between our "heroes" still needs some work, but not necessarily in a sequel. I don't think we can make it to double digits - we're dropping like flies!Two best blokes will do anything for money. Yeah. Anything. After a few "scores," they have their sights set on an even larger wad...but they'll have to go through 9 dead gay guys. (Roll credits!)Not that they kill them, well not intentionally. You definitely have to suspend your disbelief here and think of those crime-filled, smart-ass British films with flare. A ton of flare.I suspect this was a comedy and while some of it was funny, most of it was, ahhh, straight-filmmaking to me. The three Matrix Oracle Women were actually my favorite characters and made me laugh the loudest. They seemed hip to the squares behind them.I'm kind of indifferent to the stereotypes portrayed here. Nothing was really offensive and even the Matt Damon-Dwarf was game for his short-comings.Enough puns. Recommended, but not groundbreaking. Changes nothing and yet, entertained me.***Final thoughts: I wish I had a best bud like our main character had growing up. Certainly would've made things more...interesting. Maybe prepared me for...what was to come. (I never made a promise on the puns.)
... View MoreThis movie is a completely pointless work of art. It's hysterical, silly, and lewd, and everything that could possibly be related to those words. However, it never makes any claims to be anything BUT hysterical, silly, and lewd. There are a few moments where it might drift into a realm a bit more serious, but then someone will say or do something to bring it right back into crazyland.While some people may feel that this is a tasteless work of stereotypical junk, and it does make use of a surprising number of stereotypes, it doesn't do it in a way that is offensive. It's more of an affectionate mocking between friends (much the way that Kenny and Byron mock each other from time to time). All in all, this movie is absolutely hysterical, and a great movie to watch with your friends, straight or not. Just... no small children or old people not as accommodating as the three park bench biddies.
... View MoreAfter having looked at IMDb for several months without ever wanting to get involved, so to speak, this film has so moved me I immediately registered. 9 DEAD GAY GUYS IS THE WORST FILM OF THE LAST 10 YEARS. Never mind foreign art house excesses, made for TV dreck, even Bad Boys II, this is diabolical. Twee, derivative, embarrassing, howlingly unfunny and an insult to straight and gay movie goers everywhere. I'd give you a more detailed write-up except that I walked out of the cinema. (Last time I did that was Fassbinder's "Germany in Autumn" about 15 years ago. And that was a real laugh riot compared to this). Are the people posting good reviews from the film company? Under 5 years old and insane? 0 Stars
... View MoreI saw this at the same session as cdelator and share his/her opinion. I was grinning from start to finish. This is a fantastic gay take on "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."I'd recommend it to anyone who appreciates brutal honesty. This film has NO euphemisms.
