Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Irishchatter Alhough Dorian Blues does have a light comedy vibe to it, it is pretty much sad that he never got a chance to reconnect properly to his father before he died of a heart attack. I have to say though, it was pretty reliving at the same time because like, the father didn't accept Dorian for who he is and he was pretty much an old fashioned wh*re. The mother didn't help which was absouletely disgraceful if you ask me! Unfortunately, some daughters and sons out there don't have accepting parents which I have to say is pretty much a shame in the 21st century!Dorian even had the worst luck to come for him, he found out after he broke up with a guy he met while in N.Y., then decided to date his best friend. I was really heartbroken for Dorian that he never got himself a true partner in the end, like he is such a sweet caring guy who deserves love! Even if the brother acts like such a frat boy, he really did stuck up for Dorian all the way. Now there were sibling fights throughout but Nicky really did care for his brother. Although I say he was mixing himself up with accepting the father but also accepting his brother. So I guess you can say he was in the middle of all of this, whereas the mother just went along with the dad said!Very good gay drama even though it was sad and does based off of real life scenarios of family unacceptance. Well done to all involved even if it was 14 years ago since this was made (crazy!)

donwc1996 This film is an absolute gem. The cast is perfect. The story is sublime yet very real and touching. Lea Coco as the straight brother is a revelation and after looking him up on Google I can see that he is a serious actor who is going places - lots of stage work. But the entire cast is so uniformly good and works so well together that it really is hard to pin-point any particular actor other than Coco who is just a knock-out and impossible to keep your eyes off. He has a way of stealing every scene he's in especially when he runs into some buddies in his brother's favorite NYC bar. The important thing about this film is that it really gets to the core of truth without preaching or pontificating. And this is rarely as successful as it is here.

droogsandyarbles This one is a real winner. Enjoyable enough to make me watch it twice in the same day. An actual comedy that made me laugh. Very well-written. Exceptionally cast and acted. This is a feel good movie.. I have no equivalent term for chick flick for a gay guy flick that isn't remotely unacceptable...but this is one of those. I watched this with a group of straight friends who loved it as much as me, laughed as hard as me and thought it was well worth the time, the popcorn and beer. I would love to see more films with this much thought about a gay subject with just as much realism as comedy. If you want to spend a little bit of an hour and half laughing your butt off... load this one up, bring in your friends... and just be prepared to have a dang good time.

reidy-christopher This movie tried really hard to be a good little gay themed movie and coming of age film in general but it was done in by its flaws. The actors were all excellent, especially the two brothers, but I never believed they were in High School. And that's where the problems with this started. They seemed more like college frat brothers. It was as though the screenwriter/director forced everything to fit what was written, which causes the viewer to go, "Huh?"...When the viewer starts going "Huh?" you've got problems. And by the end, the "Huhs?" started coming fast and furious. The film started reaching for emotional moments it hadn't really earned because they'd never been established during the story and then it tried to cover way too much ground following Dorian from High School to college (in Greenwhich Village yet, where he manages to keep away from men for two years! Please!). The other major problem was the characterizations of the parents. The father was such an unrelenting asshole and the mother was such a zombie you just couldn't become emotionally involved in the family plot lines. Seriously, these boys could've given the Menendez brothers a run for their money with parents like that. Actually, the guy who played the dad used to be on the soap "One Life To Live". He played Brad the tennis pro who raped his sister-in-law, the ex-prostitute, played by Judith Light...which is weird, since she's so involved in the Gay Rights Movement. Interesting.
