Madame: So you should know the rules of the house like the back of your hand. Get it on and get it off.
Jake: Is there something wrong with my stage routine?
Madame: Your offstage routine is a little off. I mean, for a straight boy.
Jake: You didn't like me being with girls. Now that ain't an issue, you still have a problem.
Madame: I just worry that your little... liebelei... might be lightening your load.

"House of Boys" was the peak of the London Lesbian Gay Film Festival in April 2011. "House of Boys" stood in contrast to the usual assortment of dry documentaries and silly fluff films. I lost count of how many of the characters seem like real people -- stereotypes or not -- i know and love. It was like being with friends. So much so, that when drama ensues, you want to be there for your friends. I can't remember the last time i saw actors get into their parts so well. I won't give away any plot here: for this film, more than any other, please avoid reviews and trailers that give away plot. Let it develop for you after you get to know these boys, exactly the way Jean-Claude Schlim intends it. Btw, after reading the script, several of actors begged for a part, any part, in this particular film. When you see it, you will know why.
