Life really sucks for a group of gay and lesbian teenagers living in Los Angeles. Their parents kicked them out, they're broke and bored, their lovers cheat on them, they're harassed by gay-bashers. If things are going to be this way, maybe suicide isn't a bad idea; at least not in the mind of Andy, our major protagonist, who gives the film its title by describing himself as "totally fucked up." Written by Marty Cassady <martyc@bev.net>
This is one of the all-around worst movies I've ever seen. It says nothing you haven't heard before, it says it in a contrived, obviously scripted, cheesy "teen-talk" format (ie extensive use of words such as "grossorama" and "whatever" said in the most scripted way possible), the acting is awful, the cinematography is completely flat and uninteresting, and even though the movie is only 79 minutes long it drags more than anything I've ever seen. It felt like over an hour had gone by but when I checked my watch I realized I had only gotten ten minutes into the film! This may be more because of the terrible narrative structure than the bad acting and production values, but hey, those obviously aren't going to help much. I can't think of one reason for anyone to see this and I beg you not to do so, or your perceptions of the depths of badness that a movie can reach will be as "totally fu***ed up" as this movie is.
