Bu film haqqında

After meeting one lonely Friday night at a bar, Russell (Tom Cullen) and Glen (Chris New) find themselves caught up in an lost weekend full of sex, drugs, and startling emotional connection. In the fast-fleeting couple of days, the reservations of earnest Russell come head to head with Glen's more strident sexual identity, and the romantic outlooks of both men are affected deeply. When Monday comes, despite the unexpected intimacy they've established, can the pair survive the mundane challenge of separation?

This is one of those low-budget films that is all too caught up in itself. It's a boy meets boy story told with all the bad elements of a home-made movie: sloppy dialog that is only understandable with there is nothing to say, and complete mumble when it portends to be important; jumpy un-focused photography that went out of style 20 years ago; a plot that never goes anywhere and a totally predictable ending. It's a movie about a quasi-developing relationship that is more founded on drugs and sex than real emotion, and I guess it is supposed to be a look into a gay world of 2-night stands, where neither partner have similar goals. It's a perfect example of drama being life with the boring parts left out. However this seems to be just the opposite: a story about just the boring parts of life.

The insecurity, the awkwardness, everything. Yes, at times the camera work was a little ridiculous; for example, watching the actors through reflection on white tile. The dialogue was the important part anyways.

This movie is a real movie, tailored toward gay men, that doesn't overdo the "proud of it" factor. The issues Russell and Glen face are real issues faced by real people that are a lot more complex than Glee or Will & Grace can portray.
