Gay in Amsterdam

The plot of this movie is cliché. The characters are at best one dimensional. The way the gay-scene is pictured borders on the ridiculous, and would be insulting if it weren't so stupid. The dialogue is beyond bad. The photography has the quality of your average home movie. The acting is wooden. The direction is direction-less. Why do the characters switch from Dutch to bad English all the time in the dialogue? Why was this film made? Why? But: I enjoyed watching it. To see just how bad a really bad movie can be. Compared to this, "Intensive Care" (another Dutch gem) is a masterpiece. "Gay" is unbelievably bad, bad, bad. Rent it, just for a few laughs. and who knows, maybe Mr. Six will come up with a new movie! Could be fun!

What an excellent movie! The acting was good, and the plot, well, what can I say! Mal! Great! I shed tears, I laughed, this movie is just excellent! It has it all! It was a very good movie, the directing was very good. It wasn't an Oscar (Academy Award) winning movie, I know that, but it was very good nonetheless. I felt the lead actor (I forget his name) portrayed his role with brilliance. I'd definitely recommend it to everyone! Except homophobics. (the movie is called 'Gay', which may annoy them/turn them off) If I were a school teacher, I'd give it an A+! Watch it and prepare to laugh!

However, some scenes may not be suitable for young children. They may have an influence on their young minds. It's more suitable for a teenager or older, maybe someone coming-of-age.

Excellent.

This must be one of the worst Gay themed films I have ever seen, and is a gruelling film for those who have a positive attitude towards homosexuality. I would even go as far as saying that it is quite possibly one of the worst films as cinema ever made, and the stereotypes gallop their way across the screen and I saw it when it was first released there and wondered why there was no booing at the end. The Dutch are very tolerant about homosexuality, but few of their films manage to convey that this is a good way of living. The acting was dire and I draw attention to it as it deserves oblivion, and to my knowledge was not released in the UK. The poster is a certificate showing that sex is in a film, and it is awful in itself signifying the most cliche sexual act ( I leave it to the reader's imagination ) There should be a less than 1 so it gets some sort of reluctant rating. Also please would the Dutch actually make a good film on the subject ? Or is it too late ?

As a Dutch gay man I am ashamed that this movie was made here. There is not one good thing about it. And the other review here is simply nonsense. This movie isn't even worth mentioning in the same sentence as the other movies referenced there, and I won't.

The acting is horrible, the story is retarded and the poster art is offensive.

Please do not watch this movie, you might get a very wrong impression of the Dutch gay scene. Also please do not think anyone involved with this movie has any respect in the Netherlands.

This might just be the worst movie ever made...

i watch whatever gay themed thing comes out and i tend to enjoy even the slated ones. This movie is awful, it goes no where and there was absolutely no point in making it or in anyone of us watching it.

Don't bother even watching it to check how awful it was, just save the hours of your life for something else. Try, Beautiful Thing if your English or 'O Fantasma' (The Phantom) if your into something that you want to be left thinking about and you don't mind subs.

People have suggested that its funny but it really doesn't come across as that in the English bits or the subtitled bits.

I imagine that it was written by a gay dutchman who had experience of these most important things going on in his life. He sadly didn't think about the fact that no one would care cause there not important.
