    This movie has real depth. You can't help but become emotionally attached to the character Bobby Blue. The last scene was very clever and poignant. It's nice to see more gay film coming out like this. It's something for everyone to watch and learn from.

    I felt the role of Bobby Blue was done justice by actor Alex Feldman. The part was not as well written as it could have been but was performed better than most would have hoped. Feldman starts to show his dept as an actor here in this film. I believe we have not seen the last of him.

    Kicks off with an inauspicious premise, mopes through a dreary tract of virtually plotless meanderings and then ends with a whimper.

    This will qualify as a spoiler only for those who have never seen a really bad movie before.

    The high-concept scenario soon proves preposterous, the acting is robotically italicized, and truth-in-advertising hounds take note: There's very little hustling on view, though McCrudden does arrange for his lead gym rat to be shirtless as often as possible.
