Quotes

Clive: I don't think I ever want to have sex.
Gypsy: Mm-hmm
Clive: I'm serious.
Gypsy: Ok.
Clive: I just want someone to kiss, with big, soft, delicious lips. He'd have to smother me in old-school romance. I mean, candles and incense, Moët and Chandon, but only in a deserted castle in the south of France.
Gypsy: [releases pent-up laughter] Oh my god. You are so much more of a girl than I am.

User Reviews

Great Film, Great Cast, One of my new Favorites

Don't listen to that naysayer above, she obviously has no taste.

If you want to see a great film that has gay themes, coming of age themes, Goth themes, or are a fan of the great Stevie Nicks, then this is a terrific movie to see.

While there are two scenes of "sex" it's nothing more than you would see if you watched Desperate Housewives.

Karen Black, heroine of the great 70's disaster films, also has a small role in the film, in which she's superb. It's worth seeing just for her alone.

Compared to some of the big budget buddy films out today this one is a rare diamond among the chaff. If you come across it at your local video store don't hesitate to rent it.
