Steam Room Stories: The Movie

This film is fun, light hearted and entertaining. It features a lot of jokes, and lots of eye candy too. I had to grab myself some chocolate cookies, after watching the bake sale scene!

I've been a fan of JC for some time, because he takes rom com staples and converts them into LGBTQ friendly stories. And with Steam Room Stories the movie, he's done it again. I think it's so important because it brings an audience in who may never go and see an LGBTQ film and makes it accessible to them, much like Love Simon did. How many times have we seen this kind of humor reserved only for an Adam Sandler type film and the audience that would normally watch them? Yes it's absurdist, but that's the point. It's got the spirit of Cry Baby or Revenge of the nerds and it knows what it is. Which makes it so much fun. We aren't watching this for Oscar award winning material. We are watching it to escape and have fun and smile, and I did just that while watching the film. It appeals to the masses while giving you a few good laughs, John Waters style!

OK. I came for the eye candy and was not disappointed. What I did not expect was some good comedy and a twist at the end. The young men are not boys but genuinely good actors doing a good job at comedy while wearing a towel. Try that to see how challenging this act is. I know how quickly our tribe can dismiss our own work and feel sad that the standards set for this kind of film are set so high or ...... well you know what I mean. Let's not take ourselves so seriously. This funny little film would be a good start. And yes, romance enters the picture as well. Thanks to the people who made this.

The movie is purely for laffs and frivolity!

The plot is thread thin. Six very attractive dudes spend their days together hanging out in a steam room. Unfortunately one of the 'dudes' is there for an ulterior motive. As the story progresses we see 'ulterior motive guy' accepted into the steam room coterie. But this dude falls for 'big muscle dude' and being a member of 'the group'. Thus the twist in the plot. It isn't until the end of the movie we find out why the steam room dudes are always there.

This is a silly light entertainment movie. Why so many uncomplimentary reviews is beyond mee!

Steam Room stories, the web series, had moments of charm mixed in with the shirtless beefcake, but this film is bottom of the barrel bad. The plot is so tired it's laughable. (Insert establishment) is in danger of shutting down because (insert reason owner owes money) and evil (insert stock villain) wants to take it over." In this case it's "gym, didn't pay taxes, beauty magnate who's looking for the fountain of youth."

The worst part is how the characters talk to each other. Nobody actually talks this way, but they don't take it so over the top that it's camp, so instead it just seems like bad writing. Example: a group of buddies decides they'll no longer small talk about sex, and one declares "Ok then! No more talking about poon or peen." Sure, that's a thing someone would say.
