Though photographer Dennis (Timothy Olyphant) longs for a long-term relationship, he continues his routine of one-night-stands until he meets neophyte queer Kevin (Andrew Keegan) at a birthday party. Dennis' associates aren't faring much better. Apartment mate and hunky actor Cole (Dean Cain) goes through boys like Kleenex, that is until he is courted by a closeted movie star. Taylor (Billy Porter) is ditched by his longtime boyfriend during a long distance phone call. And Patrick (Ben Weber) generally whines about how ugly he is. Romantic misunderstandings, drug dalliances, and hugs follow. This film was screened at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
John A. Nesbit, Old School Reviews
may actually show its strength by being average
-
David Noh, Film Journal International
This gay heart-warmer may have a fuzzy, sitcom-ish appeal for some.
-
Dan Lybarger, Lawrence Journal-World
Light but consistently entertaining ensemble comedy. Dean Cain is a riot.
-
Nathaniel Rogers, Film Experience
What we have here is no less than the 30th anniversary rerelease of the infamous 70s gay-angst drama, Boys in the Band.
