"Sometimes you gotta distance yourself from bad entertainment. Remember how Gore Vidal wanted nothing to do with the film "Caligula"? Remember that Madonna wanted her name taken out of Boy George's "Taboo" musical? Well, I don't want this film giving viewers a bad impression of Chicago. For a good, gay Chicago film see "Outing Riley" instead.
This film is disgusting and nefarious in every way. It has really cheap production values. The introduction has pencil-drawn sheep and a cloud with a face on it. They kill time introducing every character slowly. The sex scenes are long, boring, with no musical backup. The main characters are emaciated. They are equipped downstairs but still scary looking otherwise. The main character says he was raised in numerous foster homes, and it's implied that he is of limited means, yet he could pop over to Chicago from Washington State without a second thought as to economics.
I try to support gay, indie films. But this really enraged me. And don't even get me started on the British, wannabe Divine who does nothing for the plot, but is all over the place in the film. One trillion thumbs down."
