Gaydar

I saw this film at the Ashland Film Festival, 2003. It was 5th in a set of 5 shorts. Out of all of them, this was clearly the most fun. Before this one came on I has been disappointed in the set. I was delighted during the entire story. The acting was great fun. Charles Nelson Reilly's presence was a great pleasure. There

were many subtle comic touches. I recommend this film to anyone!

Sweet and has a great meaning behind it! Sometimes you just have to feed your imagination rather than knowing the truth! I honestly suggest watching this film!

With great cameos of out actors JM J. Bullock and Charles Nelson Reilly, this comedy has great pacing and hits all the right punchlines at the right time. The basic plot is a gay man finds a device that will reveal if someone is gay or straight. He uses it on several people and then gets the idea to pursue his secret crush to find out if he's gay or straight. The only problem I have with the film is that the gaydar gun has a 50% reading, but nowhere during the film did anyone register as anything other than 100% straight or 100% gay. There could've been one bisexual cameo in the film. The big surprise in the film was the casting of Bryan Dattilo of "Days of Our Lives", who played the sex object of the film.

I had the pleasure of viewing this film at the "Out on Film" festival in Atlanta and laughed till I had tears running down my face!! It is a smart and campy hetero/homo party fest!!!! It is silly campy fun with smart sophisticated humor. What a perfect combination!!! Take a "Carol Burnett Sketch" - mix it with a "Saturday Night Live" Sketch - sprinkle in some "Will and Grace" and a dash of a Laurel and Hardy short and then add some meat and you've got the "Gaydar Souffle". The script is a delight - the cast is sprinkled with campy fun actors and the whole package is 20 minutes well spent.

A man wonders if his hunky co-worker is gay. At a yard sale he finds a ray gun called "Gaydar". You point it at a person, pull the trigger and it tells you how gay they are. He tries it out, it works and he sets out to find out if his coworker is gay like him...

Promising idea ruined by an unfunny script (after a promising beginning) and terrible acting. The entire cast overacts and basically SCREAM their lines at each other constantly. It gets annoying and really embarassing after a while. The saving grace is that's it is short, there's a scene stealing cat (love her fall out of the kitty bed) and Charles Nelson Reilly is hysterical in his brief bit. But none of this saves the movie. I can't recommend this at all.
