Slutty Summer Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Terrible title, almost as terrible a film

God, I hated this film at first: I thought it wasn't possible to be more shallow, corny and ... not wooden so much as balsawood when it came to acting.

It's not actually all THAT hopeless, but much of it will still make you cringe. It certainly has at least two of the weirdest accents in cinema: the filmmaker himself has the excuse, presumably, of being German or Austrian, but the person who plays Tyler is just beyond ... well, anything.

Anyway, it makes a half-hearted stab at the Wossit-All-Abaht school of cinematic storyline, and in some ways - depending on your capacity for indulgence - it works. But you may also find yourself thinking that life is too short to put up with this sort of thing for more than 15 minutes.

There's a strong argument for preventing gay film writer/director/producers from getting support, and in the wrong mood this film may be part of it. Some stories just aren't worth bothering with. You need to be in the right mood (generous) for this one.

Dire

Bad acting. Like a cheap soap opera.

Weak plot.

Don't recommend it...
