DVD Review: A Sweet & Sour Film...Bit of a Mixed Bag
Summary: 4 Stars
This film has its sweet and sour parts, like the delicious Chinese dish. The story centers around 3 Gay Chinese men, age 40, who used to be close friends during their college years. The pivotal character, Gavin, dies early in the film, leaving his two friends to re-examine their own lives. Mel, the Club Stud has a fear of growing old and losing his looks and thus his ability to attract sex partners for casual encounters. He feels as long as he carries on his hedonistic lifestyle of a young man in his 20s, dyed and buff and botoxed, he will not grow old. I found his character to be totally unlikeable; he is a jerk to Todd, a young man who wants nothing more than a monogamous relationship with Mel. Mel treats him like dirt, to be tossed aside when somebody hotter comes along. Perhaps settling down with one person reminds Mel too much of getting older.
What I really disliked was the outcome of Todd's character. Initially he is successful in the fashion world and he does get his digs into Mel at the end (deserving, I might add), but then winds up a male prostitute. I suppose that's was meant for comedy, but to me it was a disservice to a young man who only wanted to be loved and settle into a serious relationship. This character deserved better.
The funniest and sweetest scenes were with Ash, a soft-spoken, demure swish who is looking for "Mr. Right." His attempts to find a partner is both touching and hilarious. He tries cross-dressing to attract a more butch, straight-acting partner and ends up with Ross, the ex-boyfriend of a cross-dressing friend. Their relationship has its ups and downs, and interestingly, Ash re-enacts the "cut sleeve" poem with Ross, though for different reasons. He too, is going through the difficulty of growing old, though he is able to come to terms with it. Poor Mel never does.
Hilarious too, were the scenes of Gavin's funeral, where Mel tries to flirt with the priest delivering the eulogy, and Gavin's fiancee, giving an impassioned speech about Gavin's talent in dress design, going so far as to model one of his creations, "a complete original", only to see a drag queen friend of Gavin's wearing the same dress. Another funny scene is the reading of Gavin's will.
Ash does find happiness, which is quite satisfying. I won't give anything more away, but I do recommend this film, because there's a charm about it.
