Trivia

The gay adult video which Sean rents and watches by mistake at the beginning of the film is "Citizen Cum," not an actual produced adult film. The lead actor in that adult film was the character "Johnny Rebel," played by Scott Gurney, the first billed actor in The Fluffer, while the second billed actor in "Citizen Cum" was someone named "Blake Harper," who was a real gay adult video performer/actor.

User Reviews

at last, a gay movie with substance

The Fluffer rocks! What a relief to go to a gay movie and not feel ripped off afterward. The characters were complex and the story was unpredictable. I thought the filmmakers handled the topic of obsession beautifully - that feeling of being so totally in awe of someone that you'll make a fool of yourself for them over and over again. The cast was amazing. Lots of familiar faces in the supporting cast, and great new faces in the leads. Roxanne Day is the new Natalie Wood! The lead guys were also fantastic. It's great to see guys who look that good and can act. This movie says a lot about attitudes toward sex today, and I hope it's around for a long time.
