3.0 out of 5 stars Not a "Queer as Folk" rip-off (This came first!), September 20, 2003

By 

Larry Wilson (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gypsy Boys (DVD)

When I saw this movie for the first time, it was at the 2000 (?) Chicago Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, where it was premiering for the first time, and I liked it quite a bit.

Yes, just about every character is a catty bed-hopper who spends entirely too much time on looking good and finding the exactly right thing to say in any situation, but can anyone honestly tell me that those kind of people don't exist? Especially in the Castro?

A lot of people who have reviewed this film here have called this a "Queer as Folk" knock-off. That's not entirely true. ABout the only thing both shows have in common are the aforementioned catty wit-queens mentioned above. The difference between this and "QAF" is that while both present the same stereotypes, "QAF"--at least in my mind--is even more offensive because it's made by straights who are pandering to what they think the gay community wants to see. It's the equivalent of the "Mantan" concept in Spike Lee's "Bamboozled."

Somehow, I find it less offensive coming from a gay filmmaker--I'm not sure why, but I do.

I would recommend this movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, Not Great, February 10, 2003

Very middle of the road gay flick. Cute, kinda funny, but not exactly the expectation nor would I suggest it as a top of the wish list item. But, as a gift it was great and I liked it enough I expect to watch it again.

Oh my gosh, this movie was BAD!!!! It was forced in it's acting and empty in it's plot! I have a LOT of gay movies, and I realize lots of them are made on shoestring budgets, but this movie was A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!
