jhill78757 This movie was a real trend setter for members of the gay community. People who were in the closet for so long and felt inadequate out in the dating world got a real boost to their confidence from this movie. Christian, a regular guy, average as many in the gay community would say, gets with a muscle guy like JP? REALLY? Damn!! It never has happened for me, but he beauty of the movie is that it could. That there are guys out there who will accept you for who you are and see beyond that physical thing. I love it. Thanks to the guys who played it so well, JP and Christian.... you go guys! Thanks! And why not do another one 16 years later? :)
Irishchatter Oh my gosh, I honestly didn't know 'the' Tori Spelling can actually sing and dance. She was incredible like I've never seen her doing this before. Boy , her hairstyle looked way different back then. I suppose I'm use to seeing her blond and short haired in most projects she does today. She's just so talented as an actress!The character Mark looked very gorgeous looking for a big butch guy. He was just so right for Gabriel. I can see in his eyes that he really wanted him for the rest of his life. I say he doesn't care about his job of being a go-go dancer, he just wants his man and that's that lol.I thought Christian Campbell just looked so adorable playing as his awkwardly Broadway obsessed character Gabriel. He has like such a little boys face that you just wanna squeeze him lol. Honesty like, when both guys properly kissed near the end, my heart just melt. I wish Mark didn't have to go back home and left his lover Gabriel behind.:((Also can I just add to this, wasn't Christian Campbell such an excellent singer and the best piano player ever?! Crikey, you have to see this film to see this man perform and of course, see Tori Spelling everybody :D
Suradit The story was nothing special, but the movie was enjoyable because of the two main male actors, Christian Campbell and John Paul Pitoc. I could not stop thinking how easily Christian Campbell could pass as the twin brother of the Northern Ireland actor Michael Legge (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377701/) who appeared in Cowboys & Angels and Angela's Ashes.For the most part the story is simply a series of sitcom-like frustrating situations that arise as Gabriel and Mark try to get alone together, along with the requisite set of misunderstandings that seem to doom the budding relationship.It's a pleasant piece of fluff. Watching John Paul Pitoc especially makes the time spent well worthwhile, although some of the supporting characters tend to be annoying ... but then that's life, of which this is meant to be a small slice.
Hunky Stud I probably have seen this movie a few years ago, I kind remembered a few parts of it. I just watched it again, I wonder why it didn't leave me a good impression the first time. It is sweet, warm hearted and romantic.Unlike some other typical gay movies that has some bad jokes with a lot of almost naked male bodies, this one is beyond that level. Even thought it was filmed in 1999, but in the year of 2008, it still can touch people's hearts.It all happened in just one night, yet it showed us so many people's lives in such a short time. And I wonder how long it actually took for them to shoot this film. Casting director did a good job, most of the people can really act. Even the dog is super cute, it is especially "creepy" and funny when the dog was looking through the window while the roommate was having sex with his girlfriend.There are a few scenes that I like, Gabriel secretly checking out the go-go boy in the subway train, he was truly acting with only his eyes; the conversation among those two guys with the girl who came back from France, the romantic moment of those two guys holding hands in the restaurant, and the monologue that Tori spelling did in the restaurant, I was surprised by her good performance.I also like the soft piano background music, that makes the movie less sexual, more emotional. I am surprised that those two male actors actually kissed right on a New York street in the early morning. They are probably both straight, and they had to do that scene right in front of everyone, in public.The cinematography of the ending scene is excellent, I can almost smell the warm summer air, and feel as if I was standing right inside the city. I felt as if I was right there ready for another new sunny day.One thing that I did not like was about Terri spelling telling the story about the Asian guy who is fascinated with feces. They can still tell the story without mentioning the person's ethnicity. Or was it an subtle racist comment about the Asian people? Then she made another comment about a girl with sexual problems, which she can't tell if that girl is native American or Filipino, was that necessary at all? I don't remember seeing any non-white person in this movie at all. If they spent the time to talk about other races, why can't they at least hire those people as extras? After all, it all happened in New York, non-white people are not that hard to find.
