For the gay world here's a theme that all gay men can understand. Crushing out
on what you think is the ultimate sex object, only the object doesn't quite reciprocate. Sean Hayes plays the title role as a gay man who makes his living
as a photographer in Hollywood.
The object of his affections is Brad Rowe whom he meets at a Starbuck like establishment in West Hollywood and he's serving him his order. Rowe is stunningly attractive and he seems unsure of himself in terms of where he belongs in the sexual universe. He's quick to mention he has a girlfriend back in San Francisco, but doesn't really want to talk about here.
If you're gay you've been in Hayes's situation and if you are as stunning as Rowe is you've been where he is. Hayes thinks Venus has smiled on him, but Rowe gives a great performance of a sexually confused man who could probably get anyone he wants in the straight or gay world. But Hayes is Hamlet like in whether to make a move.
It's a gay universal theme that's explored and will be such a theme until there's no one out there willing to raise a great hue and cry about whom we kanoodle with. Hayes who usually plays some pretty outrageous characters is both subdued and effective here.
I do love the fantasy sequence where the elegantly clad Hayes and Rowe do a nice dance to Charlie Chaplin's This Is My Song. If I didn't know better I would swear it was written for this film.
I recommend this film for all kinds of audiences, but especially those made up of gay youth and young adults.
