Two guys chase women in bars. Scooter (Nathan Anderson also screen writer) is the "ugly one" who tries too hard with bad lines. Brad (Brian Patrick Murphy) is the quiet good looking one the women want, although what he wants is a relationship. When Brad meets Rachel (Maitland McConnell) at a club, he wants her, but she has a boyfriend. Wanting to get close to her he adopts Scooter's gay idea as the group venture out on a camping trip.The scenes were not overly crude, yet again they were not overly funny. Okay as a rental.F-bomb, sex, nudity (Mindy Robinson, Maura Murphy)

While there may have been the seed of a funny idea with this plot, the way it actually plays out lacks any humor whatsoever. The chubby lead actor is totally charisma-impaired and the whole thing is simply unfunny and illogical. I was amazed to see Eric Roberts involved with this tripe. The plot, if you want to call it that consists of this: a chubby office worker and his hapless, but more socially adept friend go out every night and the chubby one uses some amazingly obnoxious pick-up lines and gets embarrassingly shot down constantly. If this sounds at funny to you, trust me it's not. The behavior is totally boorish and never once actually translates as humor. The chubby man at some point realizes (in a painfully obvious and stupid scene) that women seem comfortable with Gay men, so the next thing you know the chubby guy is wincing, limp-wristed and behaving like a total queen dressing like Wayland Flowers and wearing a boa engaging in the most odd and stereotypical behavior ever, but of course it seems to work. This was allegedly a "true story" and if so, I'm sure it didn't play out anything like this. Like the other negative review here, I wanted to like this film, but took the rare step of just shutting it off because it was so incredibly bad. I would be very, very suspicious of any and all positive reviews of this film given how remarkably awful this "film" is. Avoid at all costs!

Well, I thought it was a fine movie. The premise is two straight guys in a dry spell decide to be gay to get the ladies. Does it work maybe, but do they find themselves in the process? I seen a couple of reviews, and it goes like this, "Awful and Homophobic," or "Not Funny." No THIS WAS HILARIOUS. It takes modern PC culture and Social Justice and laughs in their face. 90's comedy is back in this movie, and it does not have to apologize.It does NOT have that much sex and breasts or nudity. It is actually a somewhat of a warm hearted comedy deep down. The leads are very likable and this movie is worth the effort to watch.I give it an 8.5 out of 10. Please do give it a shot, I know I did and I loved it.

A couple of guys, one of whom is incredibly obnoxious, are having problems "hooking up" with women ... surprise, surprise ... but then one notices that "chicks" seem to be drawn to gay men. Guess what devilish scheme that one then hatches ... the title probably is a good hint.The supposedly actual gay men that are the inspiration for the scheme are offensively portrayed as limp-wristed, squealing queens. When the two straight guys decide to pretend to be gay, they carry the offensive stereotypes to a new level.While it might be understandable why the obnoxious guy would be desperate to try anything, the other man doesn't have any problems meeting women, so I'm not sure why he would resort to doing this ... but I must admit I was doing a bit of fast-forwarding hoping to find something remotely amusing, so I may have missed the logic behind that. About 30 minutes into the film I gave up and hit the stop button.What I guess was meant to be funny at the beginning of the movie, aside from the screaming gay characters, involved the obnoxious guy repeatedly getting drunk & getting shot down by numerous women, several people vomiting, one attempt at a three-some that finished with the two main characters hiding under a bed while the woman's husband had sex with her ... and as far as I could tell things weren't likely to get much more "hilarious" than that.Juvenile, crude, offensive, trite and I find it hard to imagine anyone could seriously consider any of it funny.
