Slutty Summer (2004)
This is an awful movie !!
This is an awful movie !! Full of sexual teasing, pseudo philosophical type discussions and moody, pensive poses by the male lead (who also wrote it : natch) it seems little more than a mindless vehicle for he and his friends self promotion - and of course to show us how "cool" they are. At best one might say it is all very adolescent, although it is full of clichés and badly acted on top of it all. The "profound" philosophical discussions are about as deep as a gold-fish bowl and would at least be silly if they weren't so pretentious. Portentous Wittgenstein type dilemmas like when to use "sleeping together" and when to say "f***king* and the ongoing "sociology 101 debate" of whether men are capable of monogamy are all conducted on a level that would embarrass a High School class. There is even the obligatory snide remark about people who are "fat" or "over-forty", of which you can be sure that there are NONE in this movie. This is clearly not a movie any "non-trendy" gay man is going to find himself represented in. As a movie specifically aimed at the gay market (whatever the promoters might say) I would say frankly we deserve A LOT better.
