 AMAZING November 20, 2008
M. Hemsley (London, UK)
one of my favourite DVDs of all time.
i learnt so much about myself while watching it.
not quite enough full on action for my liking, but i still used a few tissues.
 don't be fooled by the title or the trailer - this is a real gem of a film April 13, 2008

Forget about "New Queer Cinema" - this is just a damn good movie about a that most human of emotions - the longing to belong. "Only connect" and all that. The fact that the protagonists are gay makes it that much more accessible to anyone who is gay, but it's so much bigger and better than that.
Over rated and disapointing February 7, 2008

The writing is shocking, very poor and self-gratifying. It has pretentions of high-brow art but falls at the first fence. It is more like a drawn out mid 90's tv series but for the gay narrative. Could be described as a film version of a pale shadow of Queer as Folk. The relationships of the characters although offering promise are not probed adequately and consequently you never really feel any warmth to any to the characters. The directing is corntrived and pace of the characters, their thoughts and the narration is painfully slow and out of step with reality. The protagonist infuriatingly plods around the film, occasionally rattles off quotes of text but his apartment offers nothing to suggest his education.
Innovactive interplay involving interesting individuals... October 21, 2007

Delightful and interesting interplay involving three main gay roommates and their terribly soap opera lives.... X - the hooker with a morale compass, Andrew - the beefcake, only now coming to grips with being gay and Joey - young, naive and not innocent in the slightest!
It starts with an odd premise of X trying to figure out how to proceed with the next phase in his life, and being able to share his life with another - but he wants to enter this phase on his own terms, and wants everything to go on his terms. The focus of his attentions are on one of his roommates, Andrew, who is trying to come to gay persona and loosing himself, albeit trying to hold out for X!!! The interplay is effortless, as the acotrs, though not seasoned, more through the wonderful tapestry with great ease.
Not to be outdone is charming Joey - with his speech impediment (see the movie or at least the trailer... it is amusing inside joke)!
Defo worth repeated viewings!!!
Great Xmas suffer!!!
Sexy, funny and delicious October 6, 2007

Fun film about a male prostitute who learns the valuable lesson about real affection from one of his elderly clients - but not necessarily for the client. A whole bundle of fun to watch with witty and dialogues and voice over and some good performances all round.
Derek Magyar plays the hustler who doesn't believe in love, and isn't interested in sex unless he's being paid for it. He goes by the name of X which signifies his emotional distance to love. X shares his home with two roommates -- Andrew (Darryl Stephens whome he secretely loves and Joey (Jonathon Trent) the teenager who lusts after X. Enter Gregory (Patrick Bauchau) who hires X for companionship only, holding of sex until X is really attracted to him...
Good entertainment; and did the boy get his man? You'll have to watch and see.
