Hells to the yes.\u00a0 What an excellent movie.\u00a0 All the dialogue was workshopped and improvised and it really shows, in a decidedly good way.\u00a0 Never in my life have I seen a movie that was so naturalistic and believable in terms of character interaction.\u00a0 Which is all the more amusing because the premise is a little out there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0One dude is married and his old, single, college pal breezes into town.\u00a0 They hang out one night and while discussing a local pornography film festival they decide that they should make a porn movie starring themselves.\u00a0 Two straight men having sex on film\u2026 with each other.\u00a0 Hilarity ensues.\u00a0 But don\u2019t expect the Apatow bullshit treatment.\u00a0 What follows is thoughtful, remarkable and amusing while never becoming ridiculous.\u00a0 It\u2019s also a little bit sad because the characters are forced to question their motivations for their entire existences and sometimes introspection reveals a shaky sense of self.<\/p>\n
\u00a0I found this film to be highly thought provoking.\u00a0 The dudes are ostensibly making this porn movie as an art project and at one point they stop and ask themselves why this is art.\u00a0 That it IS art is never questioned, but they aren\u2019t sure why it is art.\u00a0 I wondered about that too and to me the answer is obvious and compelling.\u00a0 But perhaps I will rant about that in a further post.\u00a0 For now just rent this movie and revel in the completely awesome dialogue and representations of genuine friendships.<\/p>\n
\u00a0[rating:45] 4 \u00bd niqueheads but only because if I gave it 5 that would be too much hype and then you\u2019d see it and be disappointed and wonder why I loved it so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
