Lie Down with Dogs 5

Perhaps it's not so surprising that so many other reviewers here trash this really memorable and well-done indie flick. This is a movie made by a gay filmmaker for a gay audience, and it's a rather clever and insightful satire that works--and is really funny to boot. As one earlier reviewer indicated, when someone holds a mirror up to you and you don't like what you see, many tend to criticize the person holding the mirror--not the reflection. This is a film that holds a mirror up to the shallowness, superficiality, and vapidity of the "gay ghetto," and it's no wonder that lots of people don't like it and because it makes them uncomfortable, they shoot the messenger. I think it works on every level. Sure, some of the acting is bad, but folks, this is a SATIRE and that's part of how you get satire across. I congratulate Wally White on a job well done!

This is far and away the worst gay-themed movie I have ever seen. The film is intercut with the lead character laying there shirtless speaking to the camera with his hands up over his head, and all the while we can see his underarm hair in soggy, knotted clumps. If that isn't enough, he's butt ugly. Truly gross.

"Woof woof bark bark ruff ruff woof woof yap bark bark." What Rover is trying to tell us is that when you Lie Down With Dogs, you get fleas. Neuter it before it reproduces!

This little film is a bit different. It is a cross between a documentary and an adventure or road movie. It is pretty well done and I really can't complain about the quality in sound, video, clarity, casting and so on. All those things are quite good. I was a little bored with this one. It struggles to hold your attention long enough to get it's message out. It does however have a great ending which is a very nice change. There are a lot of guys in it, several of which were very pleasing to the eyes. The content is a bit discouraging as it focuses on the night life and a whole lot too much so. This is a slut film to put it as nicely as possible. It's all about one guys journey to the fast paced, one night stand after another all summer long in the ultimate gay party spot of Provincetown. He is looking for fun, or so he thinks, but he might just find something a whole lot more satisfying within his own heart. This guy has a problem being majorly shallow. The film is not all that immune from the same disorder, but both seem to make an amazing recovery in the end. In fact, the film makes a nice point in the ending if you can stay with it long enough to get that far. It's got some low spots to endure, but this film really does have a few high spot that make it worth watching. While most of the content is not my personal cup of tea and some of it was just not really worth watching at all for me, I can't honestly say it's a bad film. It's not by any means a blockbuster, and not one I will be watching over and over again. I would recommend this one to a select group of gays who are into the party life of sex and drugs. Those will find it most entertaining. If you are not into that sort of thing, You, as I, will be more comfortable watching something else. There are a whole lot better movies out there to choose from in my humble opinion. Nevertheless, I give this one three stars. One for the quality, one for casting and acting, and the other for the ending which doesn't just leave you hanging and feeling like you got nothing at all out of your time viewing it. I would recommend a lot of other films over this one, BUT if you are determined to watch it, just keep expectations low, and consider your own feelings about the subject matter.
