Another Gay Movie

This movie is totally lighthearted and non-stop funny with adorable guys, silly satire and music. A take-off on the teen genre but totally wink-wink and sweet. I wasn't crazy about the Nambla joke but this movie totally has its heart in the right place. After all, don't gay teens deserve the same coming-of-age movie that straight teens do? Sure, it's not for the weak of heart or the religious fundamentalist, but who cares? It's good, dirty fun about love, sex, desire and friendship. Sure, it's a fantasy world with understanding parents, hot teachers, no homophobia and true love but that was my favorite thing about the movie. Also loved the cameos from Graham Norton, Richard Hatch, Scott Thompson, and many others. I shall never look at Graham Norton the same way. See this movie, it's totally great...

Come on...just by the title, anyone who watches this is going to know what this is about. It's a ridiculous take-off on all the 80's/90's teen sex movies, yet set in a setting of gay teens (well, one actor was in his 30's, but we have to suspend our disbelief going into this thing, don't we?). I found it interesting enough to watch all the way through, but I can honestly say I didn't actually laugh once. The humor gets very base and scatological, so, you have to prepare for that. All in all it's brain-candy for...well, not sure who this is for.

AGM could easily have been a flop, as many movies in its genre have been. But plenty of comic ideas, a refreshing sense of fun, hilarious sets, good acting and direction, and less attitude kept this film from the midpoint decay and low sustain that can hurt such films.

The director went for some hot action scenes which can be hard to pull off in a comedy. But the director made them work enjoyably without losing the comic energy. Eat your heart out, QAF!

I saw AGM as a part of Seattle's International Film Festival. The big audience very thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not Rocky Horror, but it might be a sleeper classic of a whole new thang.

I love outrageous, gross-out humour - believe me. I am a Strangers With Candy fanatic. Borat - phenomenal. The ruder the better. Bring it on. With that sensibility in place, I looked forward to watching Another Gay Movie. It's about time that a film with gay characters was as crazy and rude and irreverent as the crazy teen comedies of the straight world. Well, Another Gay Movie is crazy and rude but it ain't funny. Oh lordy, it ain't funny. Everyone is trying way too hard in this film - from the writer and director to production designer to the hapless actors - all of whom look lost in this hyperactive, grindingly loud pseudo-comedy. One need look no further than the supposedly crazy and wild and loud butch lesbian character. It's actually kinda creepy to watch this actor throw herself around her scenes barking these inane lines desperately trying to be outrageously funny. The truly sad thing is - I can imagine the director and crew braying with hysterical laughter on set encouraging this poor girl to go bigger and bigger with her performance. I'm being bitchy here I know and let me say, I respect anyone with the will and determination to actually get a film made. Maybe the reason this movie bugged me so much is its crazed desperation to be funny. It reminded me of that drunk party guest who flits around the party being louder than anyone else thinking that a high volume somehow automatically makes him funnier than anyone else in the room. Or...maybe I'm just a bitch.

Now I'm no PC Nazi but I think it's time that gay theme movies elevate themselves to aspire to at the least sub intelligent. This is basically the gay version of American Pie...without the laughs.There are a few but not enough to justify the plethora of negative stereotypes.I understand thats it's nice to see familiar characters when your watching a movies but the character in this film are completely stripped down to the basest level.The main Lesbian thespian is the worst and most annoying.this is also a world where everyone is gay or bi and everyone gets along have you been in a gay bar lately.Unlike Queer as folk the one good thing about this film is that straight people wont see it and get the impression that all gays are like this or are as shallow as these people.....
