I saw this movie last weekend and thought it was the most boring film I'd seen in quite some time. The characters are such self-indulgent whiners with no basis for their angst besides 9/11, an angle that's poorly realized in the script. "I'm so beautiful and have such a great life but I'm so sad. Waaaaah!" It seemed like John Cameron Mitchell sat around a café in New York and thought up a bunch of vignettes without providing his characters any personality whatsoever. If these characters spent more time going to dinner and a movie or reading a book they'd have a lot less to time to torture themselves over their sexual problems. I loved "Hedwig", but "Short Bus" was a huge disappointment. If you really have to see actors having actual sex, rent porn where it's at least erotic.
