I guess my first question about this film is -- couldn't they afford any air conditioning? Why was everyone sweating all the time?
About the only good news here is the acting of one of the principal gay characters -- the one played by Charlie Barnett. Barnett, who is gay in real life, has an uncanny knack for seeming very real in his characterizations. I've watched him in several things lately, and have been impressed. Although here, that ability to act "real" began to falter midway through the film. He has...but back then he should have worked on his acne and dental issues. Didn't they have makeup men for this film?
His partner in the film is played by Leroy McClain. I'm a little undecided here. Let's say he shows promise.
I can't say the same for any of the others in the film, but I want to single out for a grade of F the actor Cameron Scoggins. The acting was "okay", but to give this person a singing role? Let's put it this way, it made me glad I sometimes have to wear hearing aids because I could take them out when he started singing.
As far as the plot...well, it's okay. Sort of. One straight couple (at least they thought they were straight) get into the whole sexual fluidity thing, and the gay couple try an open relationship. Meh. You'll get bored. But I guess we can say that this is one of the few (if any) films where a never-seen character has to have both arms amputated. I guess that says a lot about this picture.
