maxiepad Always loved this movie. Not necessarily a "good" movie, but it does capture the ambiance of the gay club scene going to a place risking yourself not picking anyone going home alone then finding a hot piece on the way and getting in (memorable) trouble. Stupid rules are stupid.Incidentally, the word "defence" is correct, in spite of what your retarded spell checker may suggest.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
jennii_dawn In the first, I'd say 20 minutes, of this film, I was not entertained much at all. It all seemed slow and almost painfully awkward when Gabriel and Mark first started their evening. However, I am glad that I didn't stop watching. It turned into a movie about more than just a one night stand. Instead it was about a one night stand turning into more.There were some very nice, touching moments in there as well as some good comedy.But I still could've done without Tori Spelling. But that's my own thing.Definiely worth the watch, you just have to get a bit into it.
nneprevilo I sort of liked this, but I don't believe in actors/actresses trying to get by imitating other actors. Lorri Bagley as Judy, has studied Marilyn Monroe and is trying to pass this little girl voice off as her own: it's Marilyn Monroe's. Everything she did here was Monroe.I just wonder if she thinks that she can have a career doing this? I was in a drama class once (HB Studio in NY) and this girl was imitating the young Bette Davis: popping eyes, snatching cigarettes out of her mouth, the staccato speech, even the Bette Davis strut. Our acting teacher, Steven Shrimpell, stopped her and said, "you are NOT Bette Davis, stop it." That's what I'd like to say to Miss Bagley: stop doing Marilyn!I wanted these two to get together and found Tori Spelling's character, very annoying. As a matter of fact, everybody was annoying in this except the two leads.
fransx04 I've watched it several times now, and still enjoyed it each time. The movie is very light and if I am to pick one word to describe it, I would choose "Simple". The storyline is simple. Yet in its simplicity, it is very entertaining. The location is simply gorgeous. The two lead actors (Christian Campbell and JP Pitoc) are simply excellent - kudos to JP Pitoc on his excellent debut. Tori Spelling and Ms. Coco Peru are simply outrageous (FUNNY!!!!). I watched the movie in slow motion in fact, trying to pick oddities in Christian's and JP's acting (being straight individuals playing two gay boys so convincingly). But I couldn't spot any mistake. The body language, facial expression, eye movements, voice, hands movements, and all. The characters and scenes were well portrayed and delivered. Congrats to Jim Fall for picking and directing the casts. And to Jason Schafer for writing a simply beautiful script. The movie is simply excellent.
