It's usually a good idea to avoid the pitfalls your characters traverse in the course of a movie.

The vacuousness of the vacant discoveries the cast make here makes it a movie that precisely showcases all the empty and blind lines of modern love itself.

All these self involved men have the dream of being in a male couple but yet, they aren't even interested in the name of the other partner in the one long term male couple in their circle. He's treated like a joke and practically ignored when his lover dies. (Not a spoiler really; someone always dies in these things.)

This is supposed to be a story about gay men finding and keeping love? At least our lead (though not the author's obvious autobio threads) "couple" (Olypahant and Keegan) seem to come to an almost grown up discussion about non-monogamy in a relationship. Too bad it's a relationship they won't be having.

Otherwise it's the run-o-the-mill "empty sex is bad" morality tale and "waiting is noble" crappy advice that so many gay men are still buying into, even 14 years after this movie was made.

Gay men will never break these heterosexual constrictions on themselves and their relationships when supposedly smart, gay, and with-it writers are furthering the groupthink of acceptable norms and the shame of where you put your genitals, when they so badly misread and misrepresent like this.

-still worth it for camp value-

I just watched this mess and barely had the interest to click further, having NEVER heard of it in the 5 years it's been out. It was on my queue so I must have added it at some point but OMG what a piece of crap!

The story is well tired and in this instance, would be by the time you were done hearing the plot told as if it were an audio book.

I can just read the synopsis presented to Foundations and charities all over Europe for this overly expensive rehash of midnight dancer bollywood field of dreams steven king make-up.

"Rehash" does not begin to cover the scope of this slop.
