GLBT movies I've seen

Well, I like the book more than the film. Maybe Bardem just wasn't 'my' Reinaldo

A loner gunman named Mhek is assigned to kidnap a police informant named It, but Mhek has a change of heart when he is ordered to kill It. In a gunbattle with his employers, Mhek is wounded, but It grabs Mhek's gun and returns fire. The two men then escape on Mhek's motorcycle. At Mhek's rooftop hide-out, It tends to Mhek's wound and finds himself attracted to Mhek. While giving Mhek a bath one day, It initiates sexual intercourse with the hitman. Conflicted, Mhek demands that It leave him alone. It returns home to his fiancee, Sai, but is no longer interested in continuing a relationship with her. It spends his days pining over Mhek, and tracks down Mhek's brother, Mhok, and their mother. Mhok is HIV positive, as the result of sexual abuse by his and Mhek's stepfather, and their mother is dying of AIDS.

Mhek's dream is to take his mother and brother away from Bangkok to the mountains of Mae Hong Son Province. But after Mhek's mother has realised Mhok sold himself to survive, she commits suicide by hanging herself. At the same time It's fiancee, Sai, also witnesses Mhek and It kissing, and terminates their marriage plans. Meanwhile, Mhek's former employers are gunning for him. It decides to take matters into his own hands, and goes to Mhek's bosses' hide-out and shoots them both. Mhek, meanwhile, is planning to meet his brother at the railway station to leave Bangkok for good. But before he can board the train, he is apprehended by the police and sent to prison.

Years pass by. Mhok suicided himself at a Hospice in Northern Thailand on a day when he no longer has energy to fight with the disease. It visits Mhek in prison and reveals that he was left blind in the final gunbattle with Mhek's bosses. Eventually, Mhek is released from prison, and It meets him. But before the two men can leave to start their life together, Mhek is gunned down by an assassin. It eventually gets his sight back, and the first thing he does is to look at his mobile phone, which has a picture of Mhek on it that he took many years before and a video taken by Mhek himself saying that all in long , he had love It and he will love him to his last breathe .

I loved this film just, the way it was...

Hilarious and very sweet!

Mindboggling, and unforgettable. Fell in love with Joseph Cross (Augusten) as a matter of fact

Don't waste your time on this one.

Really bad acting. Don't bother with this one.

So slow it hurts

Well, I know this is a comedy but can't help feeling gays are being ridiculed throughout the film

Pueril!!!

Better than that awful Chuck and Larry thing but not much. The Sydney gay scenes save the film from being as bad as Chuck and Larry

Another comedy made on the expense that some of us are gay and seen by a majority of people as funny types. The film does have its hilarious moments though so you don't have to avoid it.

Not exactly like and much earlier than the Priest this film is touching some of the same issues of sexuality and the Roman Catholic Church. Jack Lemmon and Zeljko Ivanek are both great.

I never thought I would get through the film with such obnoxious characters as Tenoch and Julio but I'm glad I did. Testoteron-filled spoiled brats getting a lesson of their life. So fun and there was not a bit too much sex or nudity here.

When I first saw it announced on Danish cable TV I thought Hell No. This film will be ridiculing gays. Now I saw it and must admit the film got us spot on in some weird ways. The acting of course was mostly a disaster and the film as a whole want s to show the supremecy of hetero-sexuality. However, I don't care I had fun watching it... Watch it with an open mind

Light gay comedy if you have nothing else to do

French GLBT friendly comedy with the, in French films, omnipresent Gerard Depardieu. The film is funny and makes you laugh, for once, at straight people rather than the gays. So my dear Americans, get over your distaste for films with subtitles and go a get your selves a good laugh ;-)
