Tries way too hard to be "straight"
23 October 2000
An infuriating movie. Sean Hayes, a gay unhappy in love (can we put that stereotype to rest PLEASE?) photographer falls in lust (understandably) with handsome, hunky Brad Rowe. Problem--is Rowe gay or not? Constantly the movie sets us up to see Rowe out of his clothes and, just as we think somethings going to happen, pulls back. This happens at least THREE times! It gets annoying and frustrating. Then it all leads up to a ridiculous and real bad conclusion--it's supposed to be happy, but it left me cold. This movie tries (too hard) to appeal to gay and straight audiences and ends up doing neither. The acting is pretty good (especially Rowe), but the movie is just bad. I gave it a 4 because it is colorful to watch and the drag queens singing and dancing numbers were enjoyable. Still, a must-miss.
