DVD Reviews of A Four Letter Word
DVD Review: Made for LOGO Channel, at best...
Summary: 2 Stars
As another reviewer pointed out, the script to this film must have been written by a kid it is so predictable. There are cheap cliches throughout, which is extremely common in gay comedy these days. Black penises, the token Latino queen who uses only sexy Spanish words, the "boa wearing queen" etc, ENDLESS silly sex jokes, lots of failed attempts at being edgy via interracial "relations" and EXTREMELY unrealistic pairings and situations. Yes, it's a comedy...but it's got to at least be a LITTLE believable, right? I live in L.A. (Hollywood) and total total queen on total queen lovin' is a rarity. Any guy in a boa in broad daylight is not gonna get laid. Period. In this film EVERYone's after the lead [ultra-flaming] guy (Luke), even another character who is at first appalled by him, is suddenly, for no good reason what-so-ever, in love with him.
There is a very good looking black guy in this film (JR Rolley), but even his beautiful face cannot make up for his total lack of acting ability. The front counter gay at the sex shop (played by Cory Grant) is probably meant to be the most likable character, but in fact, he comes off as self-righteous and banal.
Virginia Bryan is a great actress, but in this film, she is completely unnecessary. If her part was cut, it would have made no difference in the film.
To tell you the truth--the only memorable part was just a minute or two long. There is a HILARIOUS queen (Adam Joseph) singing a song called "Faggoty Attention." At first my friend and I said "did he just say 'faggoty attention'?"
This singer apparently thinks he and the song are both really sexy and it makes for a screamingly funny scene, but is interrupted by more nonsense from the script. I'm gonna look that guy up, he seems like great fun to hang out with.
If this film is supposed to have a message beneath the cringe-inducing low-grade comedy, it is lost (in the over 2 hour film!). It can never compare to a gay comedy film with a powerful message like 'But I'm A Cheerleader' or the totally precious 'Ma Vie En Rose.' This one is an easily forgotten film.
Description of A Four Letter Word
Let the Manhunt begin! when Luke enters the gay bar flanked by his sidekicks, he doesn t know that he is about to meet his match in hot macho man Stephen. Awakening in a twisted heap of naked strangers, Luke heads to work at a Chelsea sex store where he is forced to face his lifestyle by his co-worker Zeke, a confrontational gay crusader who will stop at nothing short of changing the world.Up the street, actor/waiter Peter is moving in with his long time boyfriend Derek. His restaurant boss Marilyn is maniacally planning her wedding, but when her AA sponsor, Trisha, declares her attraction, Marilyn s sobriety and marriage may be in jeopardy.
Smitten with Stephen, Luke considers giving monogamy a chance. He attends a sexual compulsives meeting where he discovers he is not the only nympho in New York. Luke is falling for Stephen, but it soon turns out that Stephen s cash doesn t flow from a trust fund; he works hard for his money as a hustler!
A relationship between a playboy and a prostitute depends on whether that is the only secret Stephen is keeping. Among party boys, monogamists, addicts and activists, Luke s quest may unearth answers his heart is not ready to handle. The protagonists ultimately realize that being true to yourself may be the best way to deal with the many complications of A Four Letter Word called love.
