Boy was this refreshing. Everyone did such a good job and it's good to see some fresh faces. Zachary and Judith you did an amazing job, and this new guy Lukas is amazing. It was a little bit sick and twisted, but it was enjoyable and it was entertaining and it was fresh and it was original. There's so many boring scripts out there.

I wish there were more movies like this available. It deviates so much from the standard trope.

The acting was really impeccable. I'm not sure who the writer was, but they did a really good job, and the scenery was great, and I like the whole psychological element behind everything.

Good job, everyone.

This is more of the type of newish humor that needs to be written. Like "Bros" it is a refreshing and more normal way to portray gay people in cinema.

Very clever writing good jokes, funny scenarios and quippy scenes without being too kitschy.

Hopefully this does well and they keep making more dark/black comedies like this.

Next I want to see a gay version of a satire Christopher Guest type movie, that would be cool.

Then they could do a murder mystery type, then a gay themed sci-fi one.

Not perfect, and that's ok, nothing in life, let alone cinema is a 10/10, just like no person is a 10.

Enjoyed the first half of this. A lot of fun, great chemistry, fun performances. Zachary Quinto's turn as a sexually repressed guy goes a little stale. Lukas Gage's character starts to feel a little one-note as well. Judith Light is wonderful as always. And a fun cameo by Simon Rex. Then it takes a darker turn that suddenly feels a lot less funny, if not disturbing. The movie had created a nice reality bubble that was fun to experience. Until, damn, it gets dark. Then suddenly we're out of that bubble into a world that features Audra McDonald, whose fierce realness feels completely at odds with the rest of the movie. I was totally willing to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride for the first half, but it asked too much at the end. From laughter to what the f-- in 90 minutes. Can't really recommend.

Unusual little thing, to put it mildly since it involves a divorced man who realizes he is gay and who in the space of one day has three men for hire over to his beautiful home. One is to give him a massage, one is for him to have sex with and one is another male prostitute who likes having sex with the deceased. In the midst of this is a visit from a neighbor (Judith Light) who is whacked out of her mind on medications and gets locked in the place. This starts off terribly primarily due to the ridiculous characterization of the massage guy, but it and he improve as it goes along. That character, played by Lucas Gage, eventually becomes more likable, but the film's saving grace is the performance of Zachary Quinto who is really rather good in this as a sad and troubled man. Parts of this black comedy work very well, some doesn't, and there is surprising humor popping up here and there. Unfortunately, much like the beginning the ending is a mess. There is also the required sex scene and given that it is performed by two gay actors, it is spectacularly unerotic. American films about gay men tend to be rather poor, so this is a bit of a surprise being as good as it is, though it does take some tolerance, but hey, it's a comedy even if it does end with someone committing a major crime that they don't seem to be aware of.
