Excellent comedy/drama about a large group of friends in West Hollywood. First off there's Tara (Jennifer Tilly) and her husband Gus (Timothy Paul Perez). She wants to get pregnant and settle down. He doesn't. Then there's the lesbian couple--Serena (Cynda Williams) and Megan (Serena Scott Thomas). Their relationship falls apart when Megan falls in love with a man. Butch lesbian Robin (Lori Petty) loves Serena but isn't sure she's over Megan. Then there's Javi (Eddie Garcia) who's gay and HIV+. He falls for Buzz (T.C. Carson) who keeps trying to tell him that HIV doesn't cause AIDS (!!!) And there's Vincey (Mitchell Anderson)--a gay man searching for Mr. Right and finding losers. His line "I'm tired of kissing strangers" will resonate with many single gay men! Then there's the unbelievably hot and hunky gay Christian couple (Chris Cleveland and Gibbs Todsdorf)! They're all best friends and love each other but a violent incident starts to tear them apart.
As you can see there's a LOT going on here and there's so many characters floating around that you're never bored. All the acting is dead on target and this has one of the BEST scripts I've ever heard! Its insights into gay, lesbian AND straight sex and relationships are dead on target. It doesn't hold back and pulls no punches. The lines are so honest and full of insight it's astounding. You'll never see a mainstream Hollywood film like this. This was made on no budget and barely played in theatres but it's available on DVD. A true must-see.
You should be warned some of this is pretty strong. There's nudity (the film opens with a fairly explicit gay love sequence), strong language and some disturbing violence in the middle...but it all works in context of the story. Just great!
