Ultimately pointless.
Is this movie trying to be meta, artistic or what? Exactly what was its point or statement? That a promiscuous gay lifestyle should be celebrated and hardcore gay sex should be shown in a mainstream movie? Ok that point was made in the first 5 minutes, followed by 50 minutes of actors having issues filming that sex. Ok, I get that Franco didn't know the point of this film, neither did most of the actors, but then what? You just throw together a 'fly on the wall' documentary about being confused? Waste of an hour.
