    Dorian Blues covers extremely familiar territory, but does so with low-key wit and ingratiating charm.

    Its smarmy resolution just doesn't work; the lessons learned are a bit too medicinal. But we're willing to forgive, since it's otherwise a good-natured and enjoyable ride.

    Inconsequential but intermittently charming.

    Has a terrible air of been-there/done-that.

    My friends and I stumbled upon this movie and thought it was just wonderful. Its like a homemade cake, flawed yes, but so much better than the mass produced stuff. I'm surprized by the lukewarm critical reaction. All of us saw a little of ourselves in this film, and it made us laugh. That's a big accomplishement in and of itself!… Expand

    It's sad to realize that Dorian Blues had the potential to be a great movie. Dorian is the most inhibited gay character ever on film. There is nothing about him that suggests he's gay. The brother Nicky actually tries to de-homofy him by teaching him to act straight, which is very wrong and very homophobic. The whole heterofying aspect of this movie ruins it. Otherwise there are great lines in the movie and thoughtfulness throughout that had the potential to make this into a great film. Obviously this movie is too cozy for straights. It was not made for gays but for straights.… Collapse
