5.0 out of 5 stars
one of my fave flix of all time, August 4, 2005
first saw it in boston a decade ago, plus, saw the stage play off bway. still a fave.
wonderful twists, great acting, lots of little side-dramas. wonderfully goofy situs juxtaposed w/ awkward, scary and funny. ending a bit too tidy, but the route there is entertaining. and, one of my fave lines of all time: david, on arriving in his humble abode, shared w/ candy (yum): "honey, i'm homo!"
warning: skin-on-skin is not just hetero, for those who are sensitive to that sort of thing.
don't know about this format, but fortunately bro got me player that will play it. am ordering. glad i didn't have to order it from australia.

Depth of character missing, January 31, 2000
Unfortunately, nothing too profound in this movie of alienation and randy encounters. Characters are mildly intriguing to watch as they wander somewhat aimlessly through their lives. Story projects these people as alienated from one another, themselves, their jobs, "normal" life. . . everything. Gibson is a talented beauty, likeable, you want him to find whatever it is he's looking for, but you'll grow frustrated by his directionlessness. From whence does it stem? His long-time buddy is gorgeous, suited or unsuited (was that his nice naked rear that flashed away all too quickly? MORE PLEASE.), but the lost soul he plays is even harder to appreciate because, again, there's no compelling reason for him to be the way he is. Meaning and love don't ever just come handed to you on a plate, foks, but that's what the characters in this movie seem to expect. And not having found them, they do (fill in the blank) stupid/dangerous/contradictory/psychotic things that don't bring them any closer to meaning or love. This moderately sexually charged movie is a good one to use to contemplate life alone or with a loved one, but life shouldn't be, AND ISN'T, as answerless and arbitrary as all this.

4.0 out of 5 stars
truly an accurate account of single life 90's, January 31, 1999
By A Customer
I thought that Ruth and Jerri did an excellant job of conveying the frustration of coping but the connection of David and Kane was a no brainer.
