We find out right at the start that josh and ira do not have an equal relationship. Ira is a busy, big shot agent, and makes decisions without consulting josh. And seems to be ashamed of josh's work... whatever that is. When a straight friend comes to visit, he's very touchy feely, even in front of his girlfriend. It's a bit like the big chill. All those people coming together in one spot, you just know something is going to happen! This one starts kind of slow, but then things start to happen about halfway through. The boys start doing things they claim they never do. And of course, one thing leads to another. It's really well done ! Recommend this one! Written and directed by jay arnold.
Are there really people who can watch this silly spectacle for 100 agonising minutes? And then give it ten points? The director must have some good friends.
I'm sick of watching such pumped-up, rich American snobs babbling to themselves.

What a load of rubbish. Couldn't make it through half of the movie. A film to delete and forget immediately. I would have walked out of the cinema.

I loved the amalgamation of the beautiful camera shots, talented cast, and story line that was equal parts, sexy, funny, and endearing. By the end of the movie, you'll identify with one of the characters struggles, as well as yearn to live in the dreamy beach house. It's not at all a thriller, but still leaves you holding your breath, and bitting your nails at certain points. The whole production feels very reminiscent of Tom Ford's movies to me. Every scene, sound, movement, and lighting change is a vibe. This is a newer director for me, but after watching The Shoulder Dance, I want to check out more of Jay Arnold's films. Go watch! This was the perfect move to laugh, cry, and think fondly of yesterday. :)
It's a good film. It has a great and honest perspective on what matters truly at the core of our most real, most human relationships.
I wish Arnold would write in more BIPOCS with his lead characters and stories though. It's been missing for most of his films (there's background BIPOC characters in Big Gay Musical sure but it seemed an afterthought). So here's hoping to finally see forethought and fleshed out major BIPOC roles in this upcoming works.
It'll be great to see nuances in shapes, sizes and colours with his cast members and it frankly would be interesting to see how Arnold's brilliant writing and storytelling craft will evolve within a multicultural and pluralistic milieu.

I feel so bad for Matt Dallas. He's a great actor in a terrible movie. I could see how uncomfortable he was in this film alongside bad actors, bad director, bad script and story, bad editing, bad photography. Matt Dallas was on a hit TV show and now casting him in an amateur film production. It is so sad. I would like to be a famous producer to cast him in productions of his level and with A-list actors. It was very painful to watch this movie. I had to fast forward to get to the really point of the movie but there was none. I hurt to see Matt Dallas struggling to do his best to save this movie. When his boyfriend got naked in front of him the funny moment was that Matt didn't even look down 😂😂. I think in his mind was "Blue, don't get mad at me. It is just a movie so we can pay our chicken coop. " 😂😂😂
