An Accurate representation of gay life in 2007? Don't make me laugh.

I don't know whether i agree. i know a lot of friends who are typical of these characters. Not all of us gays are nice people. Like heterosexuals we have our good and our bad

I dunno, I live in Sydney and it's impossible task to not be surrounded by the age old cliches if you're even remotely involved with club scene. It might just be a case of where you live and where the writer/s of this film live.

I think you are confusing conformity with acceptance...I readily identified with Rupert Graves' character.

One thing I think it was spot on with was in regards to there still being a lot of homophobic a-holes out there (and the odd self-loathing homophobe inside the gay community) that intend harm to gays for no other reason than because we have sex differently from the majority.

I just finished watching it and, while it was well-acted across the board, I must that it fails to show a single emotionally well-adjusted gay character, which for a 2007 production is a real failing of the film. The closest we get is Gavin, of whom we see and know almost nothing. Even Rupert Graves's Robin is lonely and frustrated, still hanging around cruising areas.

Personally I'm tired of the complaining prudes who want every gay themed movie to be like a documentary.

It's a movie and not the first one to show negative sides of all the main characters. Plenty of hetero films out there where it's mostly about sex, drugs and violence.
