Nauseatingly mediocre

I guess I'm the wrong age group for this flick, but that doesn't excuse the lackluster acting and the "stock" gay characters. If it wasn't for the eye candy, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it at all.

Gotta wonder if the gay community is even INTERESTED in films like this anymore. I just got in from a Saturday night screening...attended by 8 people...in San Francisco..at the city's end-run theater (ie, where films go to die). I hope the director's got a trust fund, 'cause unless it's doing better elsewhere, ain't NO ONE making money off this film.

Oh, and bit o' trivia, one of the gay barflys (with a fetish for female cleavage no less) was Willie, the gay housemate from "Real World-Philadelphia". Guess he's not committed to any sort of legitimate acting career.

How can a "mediocre" movie be extreme enough to cause nausea???

And as far as "legitimate" acting careers, most just-starting-out actors I've known would take any credits they can get. This isn't porn, is it?

Mediocre? Oh, you are being far too kind.
