Do you remember Porky's,
the 1980's film about a group of boys trying to lose their virginity? Or the 1990's
American Pie? Another Gay Movie riffs on these movies about straight
adolescents but turns the tables with a sex comedy about four gay friends who
vow to get laid by the end of the summer. It's rude. It's crude. It's full of
slapstick humor about butt plugs, penis enlargers, enemas, getting poked in the
eye through glory holes, Belgian chocolate, the joy of quiche, etc. Scott
Thompson, Graham Norton and Richard Hatch (in the nude) all have roles, in addition
to the four young men (Michael Carbonaro, Jonah Blechman, Jonathan Chase and Mitch
Morris). The boys' mentor is Dawn (Ashlie Atkinson, Puccini for Beginners),
aka "Muffler," a "bulldyke" who instructs them on the art
of scoring. It would be hard to find a lesbian character who is more obnoxious,
and although all of the characters in the film are over the top stereotypes, the
overweight, oversexed lesbian who burps just wasn't very funny for me. She does
have a way with the ladies, including the cheerleading squad and one of the friends'
moms (Stephanie McVay, Edge of Seventeen). In the end, the film also
turns into a bit of a romantic comedy with some hot guy on guy sex scenes, although
flatulence and sex jokes rule. "The moral of the story is, real men take
it up the ass." |
