AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Pluskylang Great Film overall

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

BJ Murray The lowest that I can go on this rating scale is one?Needless to say, December 31, 2006 will go down in history for me. Me, my friends and I were in prep to celebrate what was a successful year - only to be horribly distracted by this heinous excuse for a film.(In fair disclosure, I haven't finished this movie. I am, in fact, writing this review as the movie plays and sends otherwise happy guests running for the door to their "next party.")To make a long story short, despite the films creative use of popular dance-club tracks as Danny Tenaglia's Bottom Heavy and Smooth Touch's In My House (oh... and Generate Power... OK, and The Pressure... one more, the Witchdoctor (whilst neon penis' flickered) in the opening credits), I've never seen such a plot less farce. Do not, under any circumstances, watch this movie.If you see a copy for sale, purchase it - send me the movie and a copy of the receipt. I will reimburse you for it and make sure that it has been destroyed. Bad acting; bad cinematography; somewhat fierce soundtrack. Don't, don't, don't, don't.

preppy-3 A real obnoxious guy (Wally White) decides to leave his job in NY and spend the summer in Provincetown MA and find Mr. Right.OK--this is LOUSY. For starters--every gay stereotype is trotted out to go through its motions. Second, there's no plot. Third, ALL the characters are obnoxious. Fourth, I've been to PTown--this was obviously shot off season and it REALLY shows. Fifth, almost no one can act. Sixth, did I mention the main character is really obnoxious? Seven, all the "comedy" is lousy. A particularly bad sequence is White picking out dancers from square states (don't ask).The ONLY bright spot here is Randy Becker. He turns in the sole good performance and is VERY hot (to put it mildly)! But he also plays a real jerk.Basically one of the worst gay films ever--maybe THE worst! I wish I could give it a 0--it's not good enough for a 1!

frodo980 Alot of people are homophobic and I think they just only saw this as a "gay" film. I liked it alot and I thought alot of things in this film were very funny and interesting. After I saw this I had a much better understanding of gay people. The acting was ok and everyone in the film was very believable because gays love to have fun as even the most homophobic person knows. I still wonder what ever happened to the main Wally White. I checked his profile and I only saw this film, he's a really talented writer and actor and I hope to see him in some upcoming projects.

GlennCT Ok, I know just about everyone claims that the most recent bad film they've seen is the worst movie ever made. Well, it's been a while since the 1995 release of Wally White's ode to self-absorption "Lie Down with Dogs," and the film still ranks as the worst gay movie devoted to celluloid, and an atrocity on all levels. Here's 10 reasons why the film makes more sucking noises than a Hoover upright: ***1. Our "protagonist" (and I use that term VERY loosely) waxes unpoetically at the beginning of the film about how sucky New York City is, so he packs up and moves, haphazardly, to Provincetown, MA for the summer. Once there, he does nothing but berate the place for not being New York. Go figure. ***2. The film was obviously shot during P-Town's off-season; the summer resort looks more like an old-west ghost town. ***3. We're supposed to feel a sense of connection and brotherhood with Tommy, the lead character. Yeh, right. It's probably unintentional, but White's alter-ego is a whining, self-obsessed doink who is about half as attractive as he thinks he is. I'm supposed to root for this guy to fall in love? I found myself rooting for this guy to be hit by a bus. ***4. The film is extremely offensive to minorities. White tries to be funny, but instead manages to insult everyone from recovering alcoholics to men over 40 to Jamaicans. Even the latino pretty boy is (gasp!) lazy... one of a bazillion stereotypes perpetuated by this wreck of film. ***5. White's summer vacation is boring. I had more exciting stints at summer camp as a kid. ***6. The writing of this film is amateurish through and through. What's meant to be funny is just obnoxious, and what's meant to be touching is cloying. The characters are flat, the plot is nil and there's no dramatic rise to what little story exists. ***7. The director makes the assumption that all gay men aspire to be pumped-up pretty-boy airheads, dancing in their speedos. No, thanks, I'm driving. ***8. Cinematically, the film is poorly constructed. The editing is bad, the camerawork is bland. The movie looks like someone grabbed a camera for the first time and thought, "wow, I'll make a movie." ***9. Did I mention that the lead character is self-absorbed and obnoxious? ***10. The worst offender of all: the utter horror of the "Square State Theory" scene. This little gem sees Tommy as he unfolds his hypothesis that you can tell a guy from a square-shaped state by his tacky wardrobe, lack of dancing expertise or general ugliness. To make matters worse, he actually points out several of these hapless losers out while pontificating from on high in a crowded dance club. ***Can you tell how offended I was by this movie? As a guy from a relatively square state, I have news for Wally White... first, you might be part of a minority, but this kind "better than thou" behavior isn't far off from what fueled such lovely historical eras such as Nazi Germany. Secondly, those square-state guys are PEOPLE... they may know how to point and laugh, too, but things like self-contentment and decency usually stand in their way. Me, I guess I'm not so decent, so I have no shame or reservation when I tell you: your film is mean-spirited and just plain bad.
