Like most movies about the pitfalls of bad behavior ... Circuit gets drawn into the party.

Like Showgirls and Glitter, the most entertaining moments here are unintentional.
09/09/02
It's too soap opera-ish to carry the heavy weight of the morality play Shafer has fashioned.

The film itself is about something very interesting and odd that would probably work better as a real documentary without the insinuation of mediocre acting or a fairly trite narrative.

Mostly, Shafer and co-writer Gregory Hinton lack a strong-minded viewpoint, or a sense of humor.

Director Dirk Shafer and co-writer Greg Hinton ride the dubious divide where gay porn reaches for serious drama.

A solid, more polished follow-up to Shafer's 1996 autobiographical mockumentary Man of the Year.

It's a thin notion, repetitively stretched out to feature length, awash in self-consciously flashy camera effects, droning house music and flat, flat dialogue.

Once again, the intelligence of gay audiences has been grossly underestimated, and a meaty plot and well-developed characters have been sacrificed for skin and flash that barely fizzle.

There is a real subject here, and it is handled with intelligence and care.
