I thought that this is a refreshing change from a lot of recent gay movies.
Supposedly we have a group of mature men: 20's and 30's. But dig below the surface and we see their true selves when Drake appears. I won't explain Drake's motivation for his action but his role as, essentially, a psychopath, is well written: he has the ability to charm his way into any one's like quickly spotting their weaknesses and exploiting them for his own reasons. I wouldn't like to have him in my workplace. Although the 'villian', Drake also serves as catalyst in exposing the shortcomings each individual in the group.
Of the other characters a couple are stereotypes but most are complex enough to carry the story but still be resolved in a movie time-frame. This is a good looking movie. Yes, some of the guys are hot (not, to my taste Drake though)but the settings work well and the small apartments add to the claustrophobic-like relationships that these friends have together. New York as a background works well: not a West Hollywood convertible in sight.
