Hey, Happy!

I can't express into words how much I love this unique piece of gay film making. It's the kind of film that makes me smile through every line and every action. A handsome cast and a romantic story. There is one bit of shock cinema, but it doesn't take away from the experience for myself. I know others will gasp.

I saw this film the summer of 2001 and I just got it on DVD...It's even better the second time, only because it's filled with creative eye candy and suberb shooting...Did I mention I loved this film?

One of the most surreal films I've seen in quite a long time. I'm a sucker for romance, so Sabu and Happy together made me squeal. Spanky was an amazing villain... He is the bitch I've always wanted to be. Happy was definitely my favorite, though. He reminded me of one of the boys from the indie surf group, Man or Astroman. Anyway, anyone with a personality should watch this. Anyone without a personality should watch it and gain one.

I was made giddy watching this film, and I think the more tuned into this specific type of camp you are the more you'll enjoy it. The movie is certainly not for everyone, and like an early John Waters movie it relies quite heavily on gross-outs -- like intestine-eating and rape with a dildo -- for its effect. A lot of the acting teeters on the edge of self-mockery. (Though I think the main over-the-top performance of the Spanky O'Niel character, reminiscent of Cathy Moriarty in "Casper," is deliciously psychotic.) However, unlike a Waters movie there isn't a lot of political subversion in the film -- unless a character who wants to sleep with 2,000 men is meant to be taken as a jab at gay promiscuity. The soundtrack is pretty entertaining, some of the cinematography is quite striking, and I liked the way it incorporated the Great Flood of Winnipeg into its storyline. 7/10

After being an addict to IMDb forever I finally got an account when I read what other people thought of this movie.

You basically have to be on a lot of drugs to think this movie is anything but the worst movie you've ever seen.

It's not a gay movie, it's not a raver movie, it's a piece of crap.

The story line is ridiculous, the acting is on par with a high school play, I can't even think of one good thing to say about this movie.

My best friend and I watched it and within 10 minutes (he's gay we're both ex-ravers so the "target audience" of this movie was well represented) and within ten minutes we were going to turn it off but left it on hoping it would get better. It didn't

I have no idea what to make of this movie. Should I think of it intellectually as a modern, messed fairytale, or some weird allegory for a degradation in society that fears losing all that it holds dear... No, I think this is just poor cinema, with no sets... little plot that makes any sense, and characters that you can't even remotely care about! This is one of the top 10 worst films I have ever seen! And it's a disgrace to quality Canadian cinema. The only saving grace is Spanky - a twisted Male version of the Wicked witch of the West. But sadly, even his over-the-top performance can't save this film.
