Saltwater

Was it cheap? Yes.

Was it lacking atmosphere? Yes.

Would it have worked without cute leads? No.

Was it bad storytelling? No!

Ok. This was a hard watch because it was so stilted. BUT! The story and context are 100% realistic (give or take). The bedroom scene 'after' the night before was spot on! And it felt natural and genuine. I've been in those situations before and I thought it was well portrayed.

I liked the story and the main actors. The general acting and flow was terrible. But it spoke to me 🤷‍♂️

As a gay man...both actors were hot. Yes, it does help. So call me shallow 🤷‍♂️ The main character was lovely and his acting wasn't too bad. I felt myself quite liking him! I liked it.

Here we see a story about two gay hunks who just don't get along from their very first date. And all along to near the end of the movie, all we see is more and more evidence of why these two fellows ARE NOT meant for each other. But then something magically changes. There was some sort of mental turning point, the likes of which I can't even remember...probably because it just didn't make sense....and walla!!! They end up in bed and best of buds. Hmmmmm.....if the two leads weren't somewhat manly and attractive, this movie would have been a complete waste of everyone's money. Acting was alright, but needed quite a few retakes.

As has already been said, this is one movie that just should not be watched...for any reason (including and ESPECIALLY those who had the bad decision-making skills to participate in it). There is just nothing remotely original or redeeming about this movie at all. The dialogue is beyond cliché and contrived, the entire premise is is as bland as a fossilized ritz cracker found behind a sofa, and in the digital age, one should at be able to count on a filmography at least as good as a video uploaded by housewife on youtube (no such luck here). From the very beginning, none of the characters come off as remotely believable or likable, so there is just no reason to be vested in this train-wreck. Yes, bury all copies of this deep at sea under fathoms and fathoms of saltwater to save humanity the trouble.

I love this movie. I don't understand what all the complaining is about. So there wasn't a huge budget. Who cares, at least there are men out there making movies like this for us to watch knowing full well they are not going to get rich by doing it. They just have a passion for it. I mean this movie has some really good parts and yes there is one major part that doesn't make very much sense, but to come on here and complain because it's not like something you'd find in the box office is really just not fair. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course but mine is all of these actors did a good job and put on an entertaining film. I miss Ron's films, wish he would make more. Oh and yes, the movie is filled with hot men. Never seen this many gorgeous men in one film before, very impressive.
