    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.

    Why straight directors shouldn't direct gay flicks

    I saw this movie at the Amsterdam Gala Premiere and although I didn't have high hopes for it, it turned out to be even worse. The film, which is supposed to be a reflection of normal gay life in Amsterdam, is filled with stereotypes, clichés and stuff that no gay man will find recognizable.

    The story is bad (the main plot a total rip off, as the main character has the same kind of problems with the words I love you too as Patrick Swayze's Ghost character), camera is bad, lighting is bad and guess what acting is bad.

    If you are into "bad" b-movies, gather your friends, open up lots of alcohol and you will have a night filled with laughter. Especially the more dramatic parts of the film brought loads of tears (because I was laughing so hard) to my eyes.

    I heard Tom Six is planning a sequel (this time with lesbians), but after seeing his first, getting the feeling of crawling back into the closet, I hope he reconsiders before he damages gay acceptation even more.

    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...

    The worst movie ever!

    The plot of this movie is cliché. The characters are at best one dimensional. The way the gay-scene is pictured borders on the ridiculous, and would be insulting if it weren't so stupid. The dialogue is beyond bad. The photography has the quality of your average home movie. The acting is wooden. The direction is direction-less. Why do the characters switch from Dutch to bad English all the time in the dialogue? Why was this film made? Why? But: I enjoyed watching it. To see just how bad a really bad movie can be. Compared to this, "Intensive Care" (another Dutch gem) is a masterpiece. "Gay" is unbelievably bad, bad, bad. Rent it, just for a few laughs. and who knows, maybe Mr. Six will come up with a new movie! Could be fun!

    Dutch Incomprehension

    This must be one of the worst Gay themed films I have ever seen, and is a gruelling film for those who have a positive attitude towards homosexuality. I would even go as far as saying that it is quite possibly one of the worst films as cinema ever made, and the stereotypes gallop their way across the screen and I saw it when it was first released there and wondered why there was no booing at the end. The Dutch are very tolerant about homosexuality, but few of their films manage to convey that this is a good way of living. The acting was dire and I draw attention to it as it deserves oblivion, and to my knowledge was not released in the UK. The poster is a certificate showing that sex is in a film, and it is awful in itself signifying the most cliche sexual act ( I leave it to the reader's imagination ) There should be a less than 1 so it gets some sort of reluctant rating. Also please would the Dutch actually make a good film on the subject ? Or is it too late ?
