    Gay isn't good enough

    Absolutely bad but funny enough watchable. And again the clichés are going on and on and on. In a way the characters played as they were meant to be (absolutely sissy (nichterig -Dutch-)) in this context were not that bad. The shots were perfect the light was good (seen on a TFT Flatscreen) and also the music as background was tolerable. So in general you can say a good movie with good (looking as well) actors but a bad script. It's a movie to sit back and think of all the other good movies you've seen. To much gay... is this possible? yes it can, this film is. I'm looking forward to see another film of this director Mr. Tom Six maybe he must see the British movies "AKA" or - it's an old one but superb - "Another Country" first.

    It made me gay (happy)!

    What an excellent movie! The acting was good, and the plot, well, what can I say! Mal! Great! I shed tears, I laughed, this movie is just excellent! It has it all! It was a very good movie, the directing was very good. It wasn't an Oscar (Academy Award) winning movie, I know that, but it was very good nonetheless. I felt the lead actor (I forget his name) portrayed his role with brilliance. I'd definitely recommend it to everyone! Except homophobics. (the movie is called 'Gay', which may annoy them/turn them off) If I were a school teacher, I'd give it an A+! Watch it and prepare to laugh!

    However, some scenes may not be suitable for young children. They may have an influence on their young minds. It's more suitable for a teenager or older, maybe someone coming-of-age.

    Excellent.

    the worst kind of movie

    As a Dutch gay man I am ashamed that this movie was made here. There is not one good thing about it. And the other review here is simply nonsense. This movie isn't even worth mentioning in the same sentence as the other movies referenced there, and I won't.

    The acting is horrible, the story is retarded and the poster art is offensive.

    Please do not watch this movie, you might get a very wrong impression of the Dutch gay scene. Also please do not think anyone involved with this movie has any respect in the Netherlands.

    This might just be the worst movie ever made...

    very enjoyable film!

    I saw the film in the Dutch cinema's and I liked it very much. It's controversial but that's exactly what I like about film, it does something with an audience. This film provokes a lot of different reactions. The movies feels like a extravagant soap episode and I can absolutely recommend this film to men and woman. It's funny, controversial and unique. I want to applaud Tom Six for this daring movie. I hope to rent this movie abroad and I also look forward to his next film about a lesbian love. I am sure it is gonna be even better than Gay in Amsterdam! Enjoy the movie and don't take it too serious like so many people do!

    why did they bother

    i watch whatever gay themed thing comes out and i tend to enjoy even the slated ones. This movie is awful, it goes no where and there was absolutely no point in making it or in anyone of us watching it.

    Don't bother even watching it to check how awful it was, just save the hours of your life for something else. Try, Beautiful Thing if your English or 'O Fantasma' (The Phantom) if your into something that you want to be left thinking about and you don't mind subs.

    People have suggested that its funny but it really doesn't come across as that in the English bits or the subtitled bits.

    I imagine that it was written by a gay dutchman who had experience of these most important things going on in his life. He sadly didn't think about the fact that no one would care cause there not important.
