Sorry, this movie sucks
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreI do not think of myself as a prude and having lived in gay neighborhoods in LA and San Francisco I feel I am very aware of the gay scene but I found the story superficial, tiring and not inspiring. I am tired of every gay movie being all about sex and no feelings. I also wish a character could have a real job like a lawyer, doctor or scientist and do they always have to be a male hustler? There are smart gay people who go to Harvard or wherever and change the world you just don't here about it because you don't know their gay because their lives are about more than just their sexuality. The acting was good and "X" was hot but the guy had issues and who would want to be with someone that just uses people. In 2010, it would be nice if gay movies reflected the real diversity of gay culture and not the typical hustler stereotypes. Life is about more than the size of your biceps thank god.
... View MoreFirstly I'm not the generic person who would watch this film. Not gay, not male. Although I'm sure many outside of that spectrum have seen this film.I got it solely on the basis Jonathon Trent was in it and I'd seen him in things before and enjoyed his performances but did not expect what I saw! I wasn't expecting to like the moving to be perfectly honest either.But I did, I enjoyed the storyline which in parts is something I'm sure we can all relate too. Tha narration in the film gives a different approach than most other films, gives an insight into the characters mind.I found the film very funny too, Andrew's family and Joey were particularly funny characters. As I've seen others say, I thought I would find Joey really irritating when I first saw him but as the film grew on I found him very funny and felt slightly sorry for him near the end. Trent's portrayal of him was exceptional, completely different from anything else I've seen him in, in my opinion thats the sign of a great actor.I recommend you spend 88 minutes watching this film because, as in my case, you may well be quoting lines in your head for days later!
... View MoreFrom Boy Culture, I have learned that there are some things a scriptwriter should know when throwing a script together.1) Making the lead character speak in a monotonous semi deep and semi quiet tone, does not make him a deep, interesting or insightful character. It just makes him a character speaking with a monotonous semi deep and semi quiet tone.2) If you want to make bible references think it through. References alone does not make it thoughtful.3) If you need an amusing sidekick, the audience will surely appreciate if you actually create an amusing character with amusing lines, instead of throwing in a gay stereotype. He's helpless and shallow, we get it, ha-ha-ha.4) If you want your lead character to be a luxury prostitute, you should pick an actor who's got looks and personality that men would actually shell out money to nail. A bitter guy with a monotonous semi deep and semi quiet tone is not really a courtesan.5) If you want your movie to come across as insightful and deep, don't plaster the every scene with clichés.6) If you don't know how to write believable dialog just admit it and find someone who knows.7) If you want to include a "wise old man character", make him wise and not just old.Okay, this listing is getting as pretentious as the actual movie, so I'll just shut my mouth now and let any potential watchers out there know the following two words: SKIP IT!
... View MoreI know a lot of hookers who write beautiful monologues to themselves all the time. They talk about how lonely it is and how wonderful their lives should be. This movie is a joke. Saw this in Los Angeles and everyone I talked to hated this crap. The director or writer had a bad tan and a fake personality. I hope he didn't pay too much for film school because it didn't help. Loosely based on a some book no one read. Who cares? Save your money and go see a good movie like Must Love Dogs. Now, that movie is amazing. You got an old hag in that movie. This movie's got an old hag but he's a man. The writer of this movie is as shallow and unable to see what a boring douche he is as his movie is. Seriously, go see Must Love Dogs. It has dogs in it.
