    Why Should I be the first to review ?

    This review is not going to take up too much space. I have no idea why this film was made. It is a simple enough love story that for me failed to ignite on screen. Half comedy, interspersed with the usual gay shower scene the could have been at least erotic, but did not dare. The frontal nudity mentioned on this site was a faint glimpse of pubic hair, and there was also a small towel covering male genitalia. As for the story ' wild ' young man has a relationship with a cute business man, and that poses problems too boring to relate. No spoilers but there is a dreadful guitar singer and that was the ' wild ' young man, and I realise this maybe a spoiler. I will not give away the ending but after one hour and fourteen minutes of anemic cinema I was glad it was over. This kind of film was no doubt made on a shoestring, and that saddens me as good films can be made on a shoestring and have good acting. I give it a 2 for being there. As a sort of consolation it was better than several mainstream gay films with money to burn, but were in their way worse than this. No spoilers as to the films. Anyone who has read my Gay/Queer reviews will know their titles.
