Featured review
Unusual little thing, to put it mildly since it involves a divorced man who realizes he is gay and who in the space of one day has three men for hire over to his beautiful home. One is to give him a massage, one is for him to have sex with and one is another male prostitute who likes having sex with the deceased. In the midst of this is a visit from a neighbor (Judith Light) who is whacked out of her mind on medications and gets locked in the place. This starts off terribly primarily due to the ridiculous characterization of the massage guy, but it and he improve as it goes along. That character, played by Lucas Gage, eventually becomes more likable, but the film's saving grace is the performance of Zachary Quinto who is really rather good in this as a sad and troubled man. Parts of this black comedy work very well, some doesn't, and there is surprising humor popping up here and there. Unfortunately, much like the beginning the ending is a mess. There is also the required sex scene and given that it is performed by two gay actors, it is spectacularly unerotic. American films about gay men tend to be rather poor, so this is a bit of a surprise being as good as it is, though it does take some tolerance, but hey, it's a comedy even if it does end with someone committing a major crime that they don't seem to be aware of.
