RIDE 'EM COWBOY
Today's gay film was
I got this almost free with another DVD.
It is a gayed up version of 80s teen movies although few of the guys in this are much younger than twenty-something. But then those films were well beyond voting age.
What this does is to take the veil away from the closet behavior of 80s (reagan time) dudes and shows it all for what it is.
Kevin meets Cesar who is gay and out and falls for him. The rest is history, the closet falls apart. It takes a bit of time as Kevin thinks it over with his best "straight" friends who don't seem all that hetero when you think of it. "Let's go jerk off to Cindy does CIncinnati, oh could you help a buddy out?".
The best part is toward the end when Kevin and Cesar make up and become boyfriends out in the open.
It is pretty harmless sitcom stuff with some nudity and stilted dialog here and there.
They have tried to make the film look like a 80s film with some washed out colors and scratchy film effects. Not too diverting.
The heroes are buff and good looking.
Harmless fun. It will not turn the tide for young homos in the aughts. I think it was made for old guys like me. Bingo.
I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
