| Add this to the pile of navel-gazing "gay circle of friends" romantic comedies---it's astounding how many of these get made, as though the same people who make them forget that six or seven of them play the Gay film festivals every year, all following the same template and none much better than the others. The idea of trying to sit through all of "Gypsy Boys" is far funnier than anything actually in the movie---it's hard to decide whether to laugh or die of embarrassment at the stilted dialogue, lame attempts at "queeny" humor, dreadful acting, and the unsexiest love scenes ever captured on camera. Hopefully gay "filmmakers" will get over the mindset that throwing what they see as their lives onscreen ---which seems to consist mostly of a small group of friends pursuing the best looking muscle queens at the local bars/clubs---constitutes relevant cinema. An unfortunate effect of the small-pond mentality of gay cinema perhaps; a small core of mainstream gay audiences lap this stuff up but this sort of tired and unoriginal storytelling wouldn't pass muster for a second in the larger indie film scene. "Gypsy Boys" is a particulary wretched example of this sort of dumbed-down pandering to mainstream gay audiences; but its greatest sin is that even as a stereotypical gay comedy it's too lame to deliver the goods. You'd do better to watch "Kiss Me Guido" again if that's the kind of thing you're looking for. | |
