1 out of 5 stars Absolutetly bad   October 27, 2008
I would prefered not to buy this movie, it was bored and the actors were as bad as they could. There's nothing interesting in the movie, not even the sex scenes.


4 out of 5 stars Liked The Happy Ending Best   September 6, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This movie isn't the greatest, but for a gay movie it's not that bad. There was a lot of sex, but the one full frontal scene turned into a rather strange public service announcement. I enjoyed the happy ending the best. The dynamic of the his relationship with the sweet black guy from the park was a little too stark of a contrast with his life. You can easily imagine them breaking up about a week after the movie ends. The deleted scenes/outtakes were funny, the best one is where an actor tells everyone a joke.


4 out of 5 stars The lead actor is very good   August 21, 2008
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

I think people are WAY too hard on this movie. It deserves more positive reviews particularly because of the lead actor, Nick May. He does a fantastic job creating a character who you can really sympathize with. He's this young kid who gets tangled up in a 3 way relationship with two older men (believe me, there are lot of old guys out there looking for that) and he realizes that nobody really cares about him. The two older guys go to visit their family and ditch him on Christmas. The boy ends up finding himself turning to sex just to get some affection. He tells his hookups he's going to kill himself just hoping that somebody will care enough to tell him not to do it. I really felt bad for this character. His parents disowned him and his sister is horrible too. The actor does a brilliant job of making this character feel like he's all alone in the world.

There are a couple of horrible scenes in the movie that should have been left out. One involving a Santa and Mrs Clause jumping around and another involving an orgy. The orgy was just exploitative. Probably to try and get more people to watch the movie. Which is a shame because it takes away from the serious subject matter.

Anyway, I hope Nick May finds more work because he's a really good actor.



2 out of 5 stars Not such a gem.   August 17, 2008
 45 out of 47 found this review helpful

This movie had it's moments, and it was worth watching once, but I wouldn't call it a "gem". Hard to see where that adjective fits in, but to each their own.
Not bad, not good, just an average gay themed movie.



1 out of 5 stars Depressing   August 10, 2008
 3 out of 6 found this review helpful

The young man(Houseboy) in between numerous bouts of sex tells all his encounters that he will commit suicide on Christmas Eve. After a while you are hoping the he will do so and put everyone out of their misery. A film populated by some pretty seedy and hopeless characters. Don't expect to be uplifted anywhere during this movie. Redemption comes in the last five minutes but by that time I had hit the fast forward button.
