Avis à la une
Not having seen the film when it was originally released, I caught up with it on IFC. The film is surprisingly light, as the director, Jim Fall, has avoided the usual cliches when dealing with the subject matter.
Mr. Fall was very lucky to find this cast, indeed. The three principals, Tori Spelling, Christian Campbell and John Paul Pitoc play very well together. It's a fun film to watch anytime at all. All types of audiences will enjoy this tale of romance, missed opportunities, and fulfilling a dream.
All this, and N.Y.'s Greenwich Village in the background, who could ask for anything more?

I was a little wary of a movie about two guys trying to find a place in New York city where they can be alone and have some sex. A comedy? I thought it could be very boring. I'm so glad I went to see this one! It is funny and romantic, and it ends in a smart way, and I can only say: Thank you, guys! That was fun!
After a leisurely start, we get some great comic sequences. My favorites are ones I'd call "intimate piano," "drag queen fury," and "coffee shop confrontation."
Like other recent gay-themed films such as BEAUTIFUL THING, OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION, EDGE OF SEVENTEEN, and GET REAL, this film is very personal and doesn't get caught up in homophobia or AIDS. It doesn't even give us coming-out angst. It is just a sweet, old fashioned romance but with gay characters.
I highly recommend this film. It may become a mainstream charmer. I certainly hope so.

Gay romantic comedies seem to fall into two different categories: either they deal with AIDS specifically, or they don't. TRICK falls into the latter category. Films in the former category tend to be too heavy-handed to be good (save JEFFREY and LOVE! VALOUR! COMPASSION!). Here, screenwriter Jason Schafer focuses not on AIDS whatsoever. In fact, it is never mentioned once. Instead, we watch as two men (wonderfully played by Christian Campbell and John Paul Pitoc) try to have a one-night stand. The only problem: they have no place to go. As these two men desperately try to find a room, fate interferes, allowing them to get to know each other before consumating the relationship. Tori Spelling is terrific in a supporting role, but it is the two leads who must manage this film, and they do with astonishing realism. It's a modern-day, gay fairy tale. It's the type of film that makes you laugh, cry, and feel good in the end. Hollywood could learn something from this small independent feature.
Finally, a movie about gay men that is not about dying or someone getting bashed or whatever. This is truly a great film. I just can't believe all of the negative reviews. This was a shy and cute movie and it should happen more often that two people should get the "hard" part over with first - you know the getting to know you part. Everyone is so hyped up with getting "off" instead of wondering who this person is I'm about to *^ck. I thought Mr. Campbell was beautiful, from his dimpled checks, to his twinkling eyes. And Mark, well - I'm a true ass fan, so - seeing his round little number did it for me.
See this movie with a date, or better yet, that person you've been in love with for all of those years. It will remind you of yourself and the day you met your mate. It's funny, I met my lover over 13 years ago at a bus stop and it started out pretty much like it did in the movie. Like Mark's answering machine states in the finally scene - "Hi it's Mark - you got me".

- AnecdotesIn the diner scene, Miss Coco Peru (portrayed by Clinton Leupp) is seen crossing outside the window and entering the diner but never appears thereafter; he was cut out of the next bathroom scene in which Gabriel and Mark almost kiss, which is such a sweet moment that director [[Jim Fall]] decided not to have Miss Coco do another joke.
- GaffesMissi Pyle's name is misspelled (Missi Pile) during the closing credits that show their pictures. It is corrected during the end crawl however.
