I first saw this movie in 2002, after reading the filmmaker's journal, which chronicles its production. I was pretty unimpressed.
In 2005 I showed the film to some friends of mine. They spent the whole time laughing and making jokes about how much the movie sucked. One of them described it as "the world's longest sitcom." This year I watched the film again, and my opinion is mostly the same.
The acting and jokes are horrendous. The movie tries very hard to be funny, but a lot of the comedy comes from old hacky gags everyone has heard before. Anyone who uses "Got Milk?" as a punchline isn't as funny as they think they are.
The actors are all well aware they are in a comedy, and overact every line. The funniest guy in the cast is probably the boss. Maybe it's because he doesn't have many lines, and thus didn't get a chance to ham it up. The lead actor resembles a transvestite George Lucas. He dresses in rags and sounds like Louie Anderson. My friends still make references to this.
The story is a familiar tale, but it's told in a fairly original way. It kept my attention, and isn't very predictable. It also doesn't always make sense. I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't already read the director's blog, prior to seeing the film, I wouldn't have understood the intended comedic effect of some scenes.
Technically, Alt.sex is pretty solid. It's shot on Super 16 film, is well edited, and has a good soundtrack. Comedy wise, it's not so great. There's a difference between being funny enough to get laughs at the office and being funny enough to get millions of people to see your film. Still, I recommend reading the director's production blog and checking out the film for free on Youtube. Despite my harsh criticism, Alt. Sex is actually pretty watchable.

This documentary is a waste of time for those who watch it and those who made it. All the "evidence" in this movie is either outdated, twisted out of context, or false.
The most hysterical part is the beginning where the director says he has lots of questions about aids and is going on a journey to uncover the truth. It's obvious he is already a hardcore AIDS denier and only intends to present this point of view, no matter how illogical.
I have a very open mind, and am an admitted conspiracy theorist. However, disproven conspiracies, such as this one, with no factual basis, are not worth learning about.
Dear Mr. Director, if you really don't think the AIDS virus exists then why not just infect yourself and document your life for a few years? If it's as harmless as you say then you have nothing to worry about.

This documentary is about how white people are evil, and responsible for all black problems. Every word spoken in this film is complete and utter garbage.
Throughout the film we learn how white people manipulated the poor, innocent blacks into creating the Bloods and Crips. We are taught how the evil white people forced the gangs to go to war with each other and sell drugs. Everything is white people's fault. Everything.
This "documentary" is quite possibly the greatest work of fiction of all time. Only militant blacks, or guilty white people will derive anything but anger and disgust from this bravo sierra.
