Instant Favorite.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

OMG this is what i call bad movie. I can't believe that it actually have solid rate at 5.8. Acting is very lame, screenplay is awful. I planned to watch some Gregg Araki movies soon, but now i think i won't. Thomas Dekker and Haley Bennet had some solid acting in this movie, but rest of cast is very very bad. Well at least i was watching Haley, she is so beautifu. Only good thing about movie. In first 20 minutes story was solid and interesting. Rest of film is simply rubbish. I don't know, maybe they didn't had enough money to film it like they wanted. Anyway this film is definitely the worst of my life, so guys if you wanna lose 80 minutes of your life this is right film to do such a thing.

This chronicles the life of college student Smith (Thomas Dekker). He's bisexual, is about to turn 19 and is having these trippy strange dreams which seem to work their way into his life. There's gay sex, lesbian sex, witchcraft, men in animal masks, murder and some secret organization. During the last 30 minutes the movie manages to pull everything together and throw a science-fiction angle in it! It sounds strange and it is...but I couldn't stop watching. I should admit I'm a fan of director Gregg Araki. He's not afraid to take chances and push buttons and doesn't tone things done for an R rating (this was unrated). It was also his first film shot in wide screen and the colors and cinematography are bright and vivid. Also he doesn't tone down the gay sex like most Hollywood movies do. There's plenty of hunky guys kissing other guys, simulated sex and male nudity. The acting varies but Dekker is great in the main role. He has a pretty tricky role but pulls it off. If you're looking for something different with plenty of sex this is it. I think this is a rare movie that would grow with repeated viewings. I'm definitely getting the DVD of this!

I am SICK of guys who look like Thomas Dekker: pale, androgynous, black-haired pretty boys with stubble and stringy hair hanging in front of their eyes. There must be a factory somewhere that cranks them out like Edsels. This might have been an interesting movie if Araki had made him shave and wash his hair.Certainly the idea of an Araki horror movie is intriguing, and maybe he'll try again in a few years after the tiresome stubble/messy hair craze has died (Isn't it dead YET?!). I did manage to get through the movie, but it was not as good as it could have been with a different star, or with the same star after a shampoo and shave. His acting is fine; it's his look that seems about ten years out of date and is so tiresome it's distracting.

This is Gregg Araki's best film since his 1997 "Nowhere" and the kind of gay comedy I can show to people who hate gay comedies.Why? Because, while the cast is gorgeous, they are also fantastic actors - and Araki knows how to direct and edit comedy. The gags are timed to perfection and character's tongues are kept firmly in cheek (in other words, you don't find witless muscle boys mugging the camera in a Gregg Araki film).Silly and goofy? Yes. But so what? It is like a great big gay version of "Escape to Witch Mountain" with a little flesh thrown in for good measure.Great fun!
