A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A Disappointing Continuation

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This movie was awful, not funny and the acting was unfabulously bad bad bad. You want funny and intelligent, watch Adam and Steve. That was a howl. You want romantic, watch Mambo Italiano or Kiss Me Guido. You want a young ensemble cast on a shoestring budget yet enjoyable and lovable, watch Lie Down with Dogs.You want to be bored soft, and watch a gay train wreck with the cast ad libbing and going way over the top, watch this nonsense. Just awful. And the people who did laugh at this? I want the drugs that you are on. The worst acting was done by the character Sunny the real estate dealer. She growls and squinches her face to let us know she is angry and the potential buyers run out of the house. Yeah, that's funny alright. When she gets out of her funk, she dances on tip toes and sings as she twirls around the room. Yeah.... that sounds like laugh out loud comedy.

The movie was never trying to be ground breaking or amazing. its a light hilarious movie with broad generalizations that everyone can identify with. Anyone who gives this movie a low rating was looking for too much. Why cant we make a movie for fun sake? Not every gay movie has to try to better our position in the world. This is a movie that could have come from a group of gay guys sitting around joking and laughing about the day to day grind of our lives. I would recommend it to anyone tired of the epic Greek tragedy of most gay films. For some reason every gay film has to have drug use, Pain and most often the death and or beating of one if not all of the people in it. For once we have a gay movie that takes a lighter view of our FABULOUS way of life.

I am old enough to have been a fan of the original comic strip in our Boston gay weekly. The comic-strip glibness of the movie will be missed by anyone expecting it to be a romantic comedy in the cinematic sense. Seen in the light of its original genre, it is well done as a low-budget film. All that glitters is not gold, and all that doesn't isn't necessarily shabby. Daniel Letterle suffices as the clueless Ethan. He does 'duh blonde' quite well. The Hat Sisters, a real-life and venerable Bostonian team, were done justice. Defensive young gay movie goers might be made uncomfortable by a rather stinging and accurate, yet overblown, portrayal of gay dating among the young. Kids will be kids. I speculate that the lack of more athletic T & A will effect the box-office, but I think this small movie will gradually earn its place on the shelf with other 'gay lite' films like it. In that context, it's pretty good.

Someone listed a bit of trivia on this site that this film was shot in less than 2 weeks--and it's not hard to believe. Movie makers should have left well enough alone than to try to turn an intermittently read 4-panel comic strip into a full-length film with a plot. This is like a series of sketches from "The Three Stooges" strung together--and it makes "The Three Stooges" look like Shakespearean actors.As if the gay community hasn't had its fill of these kinds of films complete with the usual gamut of clichéd characters (the confused one, the gay Republican, the eternally horny twink, and of course, transvestites), here's another.There's some loose plot about trying to sabotage the sale of a house, a cheesy commitment ceremony gone awry, requisite numerous sexual encounters most of which aren't even remotely romantic or titillating, and of course, the predictable "boy gets back together with his ex" ending.Perhaps I'm older than the intended audience for this film, but I viewed it with a handful of 20-something gay men, and they weren't very amused by it either. The only reason I'm not giving it the lowest rating is because of "The Hat Sisters". Clichéd or not, they were the highlight of the film--and that may or may not be a compliment.
