When Kenny (Glen Mulhern) arrives in the big city, he's dismayed to find his mate, Byron (Brendan Mackey), on the dole and boozing it up. But he's even more horrified to learn how Byron supplements his dole checks: by working as a rent boy in a gay pub. Despite his trepidation, Kenny soon embarks on a parallel career. But when a rich couple named The Queen (Michael Praed) and Golders Green (Simon Godley) turn up dead, Kenny and Byron think they've found the solution to their financial woes. Rumor has it that Golders Green kept a wad of cash squirreled away in his mattress. Unfortunately, several other colorful low-lives have their eyes on the prize, from The Desperate Dwarf (Raymond Griffiths) to The Iron Lady (Karen Sharman). As the queer corpses continue to pile up, Kenny and Byron wonder whether they'll ever locate the loot -- and whether their newfound occupation has deeper implications. Screened at the Palm Springs Film Festival, Nine Dead Gay Guys marked the feature debut for both Mulhern and Mackey. The character Golders Green is named after the neighborhood where he lives, a historically Jewish area of London. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
Critic Reviews
-
Andy Klein, Variety
Takes place in such a cartoonish, good-natured universe it's hard to imagine anyone taking offense.
-
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Ridiculous and offensive.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
If garbage could think, it would look down on 9 Dead Gay Guys as garbage.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Feeble and unfunny.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Witless, sophomoric and relentlessly frenetic.
