I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Perfect cast and a good story

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The story is known. the end - not surprising. the performance of Ryan Prescott - too wooded . the chance of Frank Ryan to give more than a good sketch of James - not so significant. all scene has the virtue to remind other films with same subject. in essence - nothing bad. in fact - the lead weakness because Ryan Prescott gives not exactly an admirer, an ambitious young man, a gay fan or an actor. maybe not a stalker. unconvincing performance. and, sure, good intentions.

Mark is a struggling gay actor who can't get a break . His dream gig is working with high profile homosexual writer James and starts pursuing the writer in the hope of becoming famous A short film that is derivative as it is empty and one note GATECRASHER reminds you of THE KING OF COMEDY except it has gay sensibilities . It also reminds you of what a great film maker Martin Scorsese and what a great actor DeNiro was back in the day . At least the audience could sympathise with Rupert Pupkin in that film . Here however the character of Mark is entirely self centered and vacuous in his outlook lacking any blackly comical touch . " You're a gatecrasher " James tells him . No he's a stalker no matter how you want to dress it up . There's also a strong element of having to be both gay and involved in the entertainment industry to understand the points being made .I mean this writer James is a homosexual with a drink problem in the past neither of which makes him an outstanding target for press attention so why is he a big media figure being interviewed on the news ? In fact going back to the derivative nature of this short I'm reminded of an episode of I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE which used a very similar payoff at the end and that was the prior piece . And funny with it . GATECRASHER is merely irritating
