Another Gay Movie
Went and saw "Another Gay Movie" last night. I didn't go with real high expectations. Teen sex movies aren't generally my cup of tea. I watched about 20 minutes of "American Pie" before I got bored and turned it off. Still, when you work from home, sometimes any excuse to get out of the house is welcome.
"Another Gay Movie" is exactly what the title suggests: a gay rip off of all the straight teen sex movies that have been produced over the years. Apparently part of the reason I've never found them even slightly entertaining is because I couldn't relate. Yes, the movie is inane, predictable, and way over the top (some guy behind me kept saying, "Ohhhhh! That's just wrong!"), but I nevertheless found myself laughing, pretty hard in a couple of places. The scenes lifted directly from other productions such as "The Edge of Seventeen" and "Queer As Folk" were fun. I suspect if I had seen more gay themed movies I might have caught onto more of them.
Intellectual stimulation it's not. Profound explorations of the human psyche should be sought elsewhere. Still, there are worse ways to kill 80 minutes. If you're just looking to check out for a few minutes, get a peek at some cute butts and have a few chuckles along the way, I'd recommend the movie. If potty humor and non-stop raunchy sex references is beneath you, then stay home.
