Code Name: Dynastud

I really enjoyed Dynastud and the return to campy humor that's been missing in LGBTQ films lately.

Campy humor has been and will always be a part of gay culture. It's how we process all the pain, anger, and disappointment we've experienced (and still experience today, unfortunately). Campy films seemed to hit their peak in the late 90s and 2000s and it was a fun time for our cinema. In the 2010s, they seemed to go out of style. But this film seems to mark a return to humor.

We need laughter. These are very dark times in our country and often times it feels like we're losing everything we fought to achieve. Dynastud represents a time capsule of what we're suffering through and it's important for it to be said. Sure, the film is outlandish. That's what makes campy humor so much fun.

My husband and I really enjoyed it and hope more film makers will make campy films because it really does help deal with all the madness in this current administration.

Let's be clear; with a title containing the word "Dynastud" you automatically have to assume this is just going to be either laughably campy or just plain bad...this was definitely the latter. In fact, the ONLY thing remotely funny about this movie is seeing the 10-star reviews here...as if they aren't part of/related to the film-makers or cast. Bad plot (assuming this actually passes for one), horrible dialogue (most of the actors have their lines dubbed over for some odd reason...was that part of the "comedy" or just low-budget audio...will we ever know?), family wedding-style video editing and absolutely nothing going for it whatsoever.

Yeah, this is bound to upset some yahoos, promoting a society that accepts LGBQT, but it is actually quite smart and very funny in its approach to the superhero genre while making a social commentary that's rarely hit-over-the-head level. As an ally, I laughed through most of it, and nodded my head in others in agreement. So worth a viewing. There is some male nudity, so keep the kids away if you must, but if your sense is an open-minded one, gay or straight, there is a lot to enjoy here. Even if you're Canadian (if you see the film, you'll understand what I mean).

Better than average campy fun movie. As someone earlier mentioned, think of a James Bond movie done by a collaboration of Mel Brooks & the Broken Lizard folks. The acting was decently accomplished, particularly by the two leads. There was full frontal nudity which wasn't titillating and I suppose would turn some off. If there was one thing that turned me off it was the impression that the entire movie was dubbed.

I watch movies to be entertained. I want to laugh when I watch comedies. This movie is pretty funny. I enjoy the quips. I enjoy the brief nudity. I enjoy the actors reaction timings. If you like Another Gay Movie, take away half the budget and enjoy yourself. It mocks most things popular, not just politics. If you can't take a joke, then don't watch any movies in general.
