Dear Todd Stevens [Director],
Thank you for your film 'Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild.' I am convinced that this film is a total work of genius, even though it's the stewpedest thing I've ever sat through (three times on purpose). Anyway, the film takes place in Ft. Lauderdale where the four main characters are on spring break. Basically the rest of the plot doesn't really matter because the movie is really about gags and making fun of how low budget the whole thing actually is. My favorite example of this is when you can see the strings pulling plastic crabs across the screen as they attack our protagonists. The gratuitous use of poorly-executed green screens and really unconvincing projectile vomiting added to the sense that you knew your film was low budget, and you totally made fun of it.
The acting in the movie is another story altogether. This movie is full of good acting and bad acting and nothing inbetween. That the best acting in the film comes from a porn star [twinky Brent Corrigan] is a testament to the priorities of the film's creators: funny first, substance last. Corrigan plays Stan The Merman, and does a fantastic job of being Peter Pan sweet and ridiculously sincere. Jonah Blechman, the dude who plays the main character, Nico, is borderline brilliant in his role as the group's 'Fembot.' He does all sorts of parodies of old school actresses like Joan Crawford that are F-ing hilarious.
There's sort of a lot of grossness in this movie, which I wasn't really a fan of, but I guess it goes along with the genre of films it's trying to make fun of (all those 'Not Another...' movies which I haven't seen because they're, like, gross). It depends on your threshold I guess. My grossness tolerance sort of ends at gratuitous projectile vomiting if you know what I mean...
I love this film's cheap special effects. The crabs were my favorite, and there's a totally amazing animated sequence showing a crab infestation in which there are all sorts of cute crabs dancing around whilst wearing leather daddy outfits and stuff. YAY!
Lady Bunny plays a semi-terrifying, yet funny, MC of affairs. The whole movie makes fun of all those 50s movies with Annette and Gidget and all those crazy mid-century beach bop ho's. It also makes fun of 'Mean Girls,' except instead of The Plastics we have 'The Jaspers'. The Jaspers are a trio of gay hotties all named Jasper ruled by a blond dude. They are amazing and sort of like the cartoon villains from 90z saturday morning cartoons.
While most the movie's shortcomings can be explained away as purposeful and enriching, there is one blaring mistake in this film that probably should be edited out before it goes to DVD: Perez Hilton. Perez shows up time and time again and is consistently not funny. He has no timing, no wit, and absolutely no acting ability or charisma whatsoever. I don't read his blog because I don't think he's funny (except for his computer drawings which are obvy hilarious). He's not funny on screen either, and I really resent him being in this film just because he's a gay celebrity. There are at least 20 way more interesting gay celebrities that work out at my gym, Todd Stevens, and in your next film if you're looking for one let me know. Perez sucks [sidenote: if you need to be reading celebrity blog you should be reading
TheSuperficial].
All in all 'Another Gay Movie: Gays Gone Wild' is totally worth seeing and maybe my favorite movie ever. Everyone should see it when it opens in New York and Los Angeles this Friday. YAY!
Love,
Orblogdo
