I really enjoyed this movie--it has a clever premise, lots of humor, good photography--I would--and have--recommend it for others to see--and I'm straight. This film works regardless of sexual orientation.The twist on having a hard boiled, tough, love 'em and leave 'em female detective was great. And I especially liked Monique, the would be rock sensation, played by Jennifer Layne Park. I hope we see more of her and her character in future films. And I certainly hope we see more of this detective pairing along with Monique in future films. This film suggests future projects for these three characters. Bravo, Gaston, for a film well done. Now please work quickly on the sequel (maybe involving Monique?)--we want more of this comedy trio.

Naturally, as a straight man, I would be attracted to lipstick lesbians like Abigail (Jessica Graham), a PI hired to find the twin of Michael Delmar (Michael Molina).

She was not only hot, and quick to console a pop star (Jennifer Layne Park) who just lost her boyfriend, but she really made an interesting PI. I could see this being turned into a series. Who wouldn't want to see her running in a tight dress and high heels shooting at bad guys.

Of course, you would have to take out all the gratuitous nudity, but that wouldn't hurt anything as it added nothing to the story.

Good film noir with gay and lesbian leads instead of the usual straight characters - and it was funny, too.

I disagree with the negative posts. I saw a screening at LA's Outfest. I think the film is a very funny take on film noir. A lipstick lesbian character plays a hard drinking, cynical, love her/leave her, private detective. She takes on a murder case and connects with the gay brother of the victim. He's not exactly helpless, but she generally takes control in dicey situations. So, a role reversal of, for example, the Humphrey Bogart/Mary Astor parts in "Maltese Falcon." Still, it doesn't resort to stereotype humor. It has the look of a low budget film as evidenced in the lighting, sound, editing, etc. But, the script is clever and the acting is generally very good. It is what independent films used to be - short on production values but counterbalanced by originality in concept. I predict we'll hear more from Robert Gaston, the writer/director. He's crafted a refreshing film on what was probably a shoestring budget.
