1.0 out of 5 stars
Is there a rating lower than 1 star??, July 18 2004
This review is from: Issues 101 (DVD)
This is the type of picture that gives gay themed movies a bad name. It's amazing that the producers of this movie were able to find a complete cast of performers that is completely devoid of acting talent. How did this film get cast? I can't believe anybody got a role in this turkey as the result of an audition. This cast (no way they can be called actors) must all be friends of the filmmaker. There is not a single actor to be seen that is even halfway competent, and it is a fairly large cast. I guess there is no shortage of talent-free wannabes. Especially laughable are the obviously gay non-actors attempting to portray heterosexuals, commenting on various women's physical endowments and discussing their past sexual conquests. Now we're really in fantasyland. The script is ludicrous; totally without coherence and the production is definitely bargain basement quality. The picture and sound make it obvious that it was shot with a single video camera. How do films this bad ever get made? It's a mystery. Avoid this one at all costs!

Good Candidate for Worst Movie Ever!, July 7 2004
This review is from: Issues 101 (DVD)
This movie (if you can call it that) was totally gay. Just so...so gay. And I don't mean that in the sexual orientation sense of the word. Alright, So there are still many gay films out there that have that hokey "afterschool special" feel to them but this movie is in a league all it's own. What freshman gay guy who's just coming out would then try and get into a stifling environment like a fraternity anyway? typically one would come out *after* pledging. Plus, fratguys don't talk to each other about they're innermost feelings (some of the scenes even had me wincing going: "No way dude, that would *never* happen!")...and pledges aren't treated the same as brothers until after their pledged. Talk about miscasting, Dude! I agree with previous reviewers' opinions that the main actor was way too old to play a freshman frat pledge. I guess that's why he's not even on the cover. In fact, most of the actors seemed to have trouble fitting into their "ambiguous" and/or "straight" roles. It's like none of the actors ever had any recollection of what being confused, repressed, or closeted is like. I kept forgetting who was suppposed to be straight and who was supposed to be gay. The acting, coupled with the video medium, and hazing scenes also had me wondering if this was initially intended to be soft porn. To conclude, I would not recommend this film to anyone. The plot, the casting, and the screenwriting were complete misses. The editing was probably the only good feature of the film.
