No es sólo otra película gay

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...

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.

Nor is it just "another one." It's an unabashed, silly comedy where being gay is strictly a non-issue.

It's also a non-stop string of sex jokes from beginning to end, rather like a queer "American Pie" or "Porky's." In the showing I attended, it looked like a 100% gay audience, so it was interesting to take a laugh-meter reading of their response. I'd say about a third belly-laughter, another third moderate chuckles, and the rest sort of just sat there.

Director-screenplay writer Todd Stephens attempts spoof every sex situation imaginable, with varying degrees of success. There's a dramatic scene from his own "Edge of Seventeen," along with other pop film and TV sitcom episodes. All become grist for Stephens' raunchy, horny mill.

It's a loud, insane, in-your-face frolic that at times assaults the senses. The result: a new low--or high--in bad taste, depending upon your point of view.

For sure, it's not just another gay movie; rather, a compendium of how far we've come and where we now are in colloquial film comedy.

Makes one wonder, what's next?

The title ANOTHER GAY MOVIE barely scratches the eyes out of how campy and ridiculous this movie is. They just don't come any more flamboyant. If this movie were a dude, he would be sneezing glitter.

Sometimes, a non-stop string of dirty, juvenile, inappropriate jokes does a body good. I laughed until my stomach hurt. This film is AMERICAN PIE for confirmed bachelors and, despite its over-the-top debauchery, has an uplifting aura about it I can't quite explain. Watching porn models trying to go (somewhat) legit is also a belly buster.

Best enjoyed with cosmos or some other party favor that tickles your ... whatever you like to have tickled.

I was leery of the gay 'American Pie' references. I just didn't think it would make the cut. Man, was I wrong! I attended with two straight friends who are very open-minded. We laughed non-stop throughout the film. And we were not alone. The consistently tough-to-entertain West Hollywood crowd was guffawing along with us. Sure, much can be said about the raunchiness and some of the more contrived humor, but hey, it was funny. This is the kind of film that entertains. If one is mainly concerned with social relevance in a film, skip this. It's likely not for you. But if you are looking to laugh and just be entertained for the evening and a few days later, you gotta see this one!!! I am usually a pretty generous voter, tougher on comedies. And I swear I could not give this less than an 8.
