Down low

With talent like Zachary Quinto, Lukas Gage, Judith Light, and Audra. McDonald, I figured this film had to have something going for it. Plus the trailer was fun and the plot seemed promising (and the house in the movie's gorgeous). But, no. It's now clear why the movie went direct-to-video.

But why would such talented people agree to perform in such nonsense? Did they not read the script?

Almost every plot development and so much of the dialogue thumbs its nose at credibility. Totally cringe.

It's too bad. There are a few funny moment and snappy lines-even a few decent dramatic moments. And the cast has good chemistry.

Really, a talented screenwriter needed to extract the good stuff from this mess and totally rewrite it. And a much smarter director needed to take control. There really is some potential buried in there somewhere.

One doesn't need a high budget to achieve. I started with low expectations due to the previous reviews (10, 2, 2, 10 etc) - in one word- you either hate it or love it type of movie. I was touched. It is layered in level of lecture, it is absurd, it is humorous, it is exaggerated and NOT pretending. Like life. Touches boundaries, shakes the middle class and cries along. It could have been a stage performance Eugene Ionesco style, refurbished anno now. It describes life. I am not gay neither a man. I was born after the boomer generation and before the millennials and I can say this film triggers something deep inside of me. So beautiful so absurd so genuine yet provocative and nevertheless serious. Just like reality but enhanced.

Movies are supposed to entertain you and this one did!! I usually get bored with something because they use the same old formula that's been around forever but no this one surprised me and most importantly made me laugh! I laughed so hard and was so glad watched this. I thought the whole thing was hilarious. I also loved the young and older bounce back and forth between these two. I was loving the relationship they were forming in one night! I actually thought he would leave the house to Cameron. I think the romance was there and I just loved it. Yes there is violence and they should have left that part out of the script but other than that I liked it. The whole beginning was realistic and then it became hilarious. I highly recommend.

Boy was this refreshing. Everyone did such a good job and it's good to see some fresh faces. Zachary and Judith you did an amazing job, and this new guy Lukas is amazing. It was a little bit sick and twisted, but it was enjoyable and it was entertaining and it was fresh and it was original. There's so many boring scripts out there.

I wish there were more movies like this available. It deviates so much from the standard trope.

The acting was really impeccable. I'm not sure who the writer was, but they did a really good job, and the scenery was great, and I like the whole psychological element behind everything.

Good job, everyone.
