hjames-97822 What starts as a sort of pretend documentary finally morphs into a rambling series of shopping trips and fake interviews that leads to a sort of Beauty and the Beast sex romp that just left me wondering "Why?" One of the problems with any film that has anything to do with strippers and go-go dancers is that if you've seen one, you've basically seen them all. So here we have Camp, a real life dancer, who is supposedly being stalked (yes stalked) by Tanner Cohen's character.Instead of being concerned about this little geek chasing him, we are to believe he takes him shopping, to the gym and them home for a sort of carry out dinner. Naturally, in a total leap we are to believe that the hot dancer finds himself in lust with the nerd and now wants to have sex with him. And not just any sex, but to bottom for him too boot. (In an interview Camp confessed the director got them both drunk to do these scenes. If you have to get loaded, are you really much of an actor?) Anyway, this all trolls on for what seems an unusually long period of time before finally sinking like a giant lead balloon running out of gas. The film is badly, badly edited. Chopped up and presented with these dreadfully annoying split screen sequences like something out of Directing 101. It's all pretty lame.Just my opinion, but Camp is nice to look at if you go in for the muscle boy with lots of tats look. Cohen should reconsider and keep his clothes on.
Gura Lashlee This film didn't turn out to be what I thought it was going to be...it was better.As an old fart it took me a short while to adjust to the style of the film making. It's truly wonderful how affordable and accessible film making has become these days....Thanks Apple. Just start watching and let it all wash over you. Be patient.The young actors were superb. I had seen Tanner Cohen in Were The World Mine. He was very good in that as well. Mathew Camp seems to have made his debut in this film. Very competent and naturalistic in his performance. Amazing in his complete, complex character portrayal. Who knows? Maybe he is so similar to and comfortable in his characters skin. I don't really care. He was just a pleasure to watch as was Tanner.I believed both of those boys characters. The arc was just as it should have been. Realism to the core.Don't know if the dialogue was improvised or loosely scripted. It seemed so spontaneous and natural that either those two boys are extraordinary actors or the writing is excellent or all of the above.That's what I liked about the film....believability and accurate portrayal of those two individual's humanity. Served to show that love, especially young and fresh love, never changes. It's a blissful state of insanity. I have experienced the situations and feelings of both these characters back in the days of innocence, youthful optimism and raging testosterone.This film reflected all of that.I have been vague with details of the film because discovering it as one goes along is an important part of the pleasure.Here's how much I was impressed, mesmerized, entertained and stimulated....I just bought the film from Wolfe Video.It's available on NetflixStreaming, clips on YouTube, VOD from Wolfe Video.I'm in love with both of those boys.Great job.
chriskirk_filmmaker I knew nothing about this film and believed, while watching it, that it was really a documentary made by the protagonist. Upon discovering that it was actually made by a filmmaker, I become rather confused as to its intentions. Why is the film so crudely and unimaginatively shot?I guess my belief in it as a documentary is a credit to the performances. And specifically not a credit to the production, which did look like it was made by the talentless and obsessive protagonist.The story is one of an antisocial and self-obsessed young man, Doc, who focuses his attention on the image of a go-go dancer he has never met, Go, concocts a plan to "get" him and succeeds. Upon discovering that he is a real person, kind, intelligent and loving, Doc withdraws and blames Go for his own fear and superficiality.Why would we want to follow such a morally and emotionally lacking protagonist through a film he has made in his own image, where he seeks a sexy ass, discovers a sexy person, and then hysterically justifies his rejection of real emotion and affection.
Red_Identity I really didn't expect this to be very good. I watched it because the guys looked hot. And one of them was, and it has a lot of very sexy, erotic scenes, but it's also a pretty good story underneath. It's nothing incredibly original, but the two leads have an undeniable chemistry and the writing and dialogue is mostly on point. it's a pretty good LGBT film dealing with issues, and in that respect it reminds me of a more aesthetically energetic Weekend, even if it doesn't hit that film's deeper themes. Overall, for those with low expectations, this will be very surprising in quality. As a film, it really works. I definitely recommend it.
