Basso profilo

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.

This is more of the type of newish humor that needs to be written. Like "Bros" it is a refreshing and more normal way to portray gay people in cinema.

Very clever writing good jokes, funny scenarios and quippy scenes without being too kitschy.

Hopefully this does well and they keep making more dark/black comedies like this.

Next I want to see a gay version of a satire Christopher Guest type movie, that would be cool.

Then they could do a murder mystery type, then a gay themed sci-fi one.

Not perfect, and that's ok, nothing in life, let alone cinema is a 10/10, just like no person is a 10.

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.

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.

Enjoyed the first half of this. A lot of fun, great chemistry, fun performances. Zachary Quinto's turn as a sexually repressed guy goes a little stale. Lukas Gage's character starts to feel a little one-note as well. Judith Light is wonderful as always. And a fun cameo by Simon Rex. Then it takes a darker turn that suddenly feels a lot less funny, if not disturbing. The movie had created a nice reality bubble that was fun to experience. Until, damn, it gets dark. Then suddenly we're out of that bubble into a world that features Audra McDonald, whose fierce realness feels completely at odds with the rest of the movie. I was totally willing to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride for the first half, but it asked too much at the end. From laughter to what the f-- in 90 minutes. Can't really recommend.
