Another Gay Movie

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.

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.

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.....

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...

I mean - I'm a fairly harsh critic and I hate most every gay movie that comes out (I'm gay BTW) and I was poised for this one to annoy the crap out of me. But it started and I'll tell you - I was wiping away the tears (from laughter) from pretty much the opening sequence. The four men they found for the four leads were astoundingly, shamelessly gleeful in their complicated renderings of these boys - they didn't phone anything in - even the gratuitous (I'm a littly prudish, I guess) flatulation sequence was imbued with a sincerity and a sweetness that was welcome and unexpectedly necessary and it made it actually, genuinely funny. That doesn't happen often with flatulation jokes for me. And I think that description defines the entire film for me - it was unexpectedly inspired and made me laugh when I wouldn't have typically. And I cried, too - for the sweetness of one story line. I usually feel manipulated and ridiculous after a romantic comedy but something happens in this film that brings it home - I wasn't angry and I wanted it to go on and on and on. As a gay film buff I guess it was hugely satisfying to see the same stupid movie I've seen seven thousand times about straight people remade - and reconsidered - and turned into something that I could claim as my own. I got it - and I don't usually get to get it. It's a special hour and a half - I hope everyone gets to see it.
