Unusual little thing, to put it mildly since it involves a divorced man who realizes he is gay and who in the space of one day has three men for hire over to his beautiful home. One is to give him a massage, one is for him to have sex with and one is another male prostitute who likes having sex with the deceased. In the midst of this is a visit from a neighbor (Judith Light) who is whacked out of her mind on medications and gets locked in the place. This starts off terribly primarily due to the ridiculous characterization of the massage guy, but it and he improve as it goes along. That character, played by Lucas Gage, eventually becomes more likable, but the film's saving grace is the performance of Zachary Quinto who is really rather good in this as a sad and troubled man. Parts of this black comedy work very well, some doesn't, and there is surprising humor popping up here and there. Unfortunately, much like the beginning the ending is a mess. There is also the required sex scene and given that it is performed by two gay actors, it is spectacularly unerotic. American films about gay men tend to be rather poor, so this is a bit of a surprise being as good as it is, though it does take some tolerance, but hey, it's a comedy even if it does end with someone committing a major crime that they don't seem to be aware of.
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.
I can't believe it has such a low rating! Yes, it's not for everyone as any other movie. If you don't get it, it doesn't mean it's a bad.
Honestly, it's such a great and fresh indie take on old school dramedy, very rare genre nowadays.
You may like it or not but you will be definitely surprised but it's all twists. 100% must. At least I have reccomended it to all my friends.
I also wanted to mention that the whole casting from the main characters to not the lead ones is just brilliant.
Thank you so much for this almost 2 hours entertainment that distracted from this tough reality we are facing these days.

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.

A funny, dark comedy that doesn't try to be more than it is. Thoroughly enjoyed it as a gay movie that doesn't try to be groundbreaking and moving etc trying to win awards by showing the immense struggle of being a gay man and coming out.
The relationship between Cameron and Gary is incredibly endearing and provide some proper laughs.
A fresh take one what could be seen as an overdone premise, taking what would generally be a thriller and turning it into a light hearted dark comedy.
Absolutely added to my list of favourites for light watching, and will be giving this another viewing in a few months.
Zachary quinto and Lukas Cage both are amazing in this.
