Summary: 3 Stars
Trevor Holden (writer-actor Brent Gorski) works for a telephone answering service in Los Angeles. To make ends meet, he rooms with a woman, Andie (Melissa Searing). His best friend is a singer, Jake (Jay Brannan, Ceth of Shortbus), who hides his feelings behind cutting language. Trevor provides emotional support for an ex-boyfriend, Darrell (Christopher Wyllie), who is hooked on heroin. Trevor is going nowhere and is too numb to know it.
Visiting Darrell in the hospital, Trevor meets an intern, Dr. Ephram Cohen (Eli Kranski), who says that Darrell will pull through. When Ephram approaches Trevor at a party, the two of them get closer.
After several months, Ephram says he has a job offer from a hospital in New York. It would be a big step up, and Ephram would get to be closer to his parents. Ephram says he will not take the offer unless Trevor goes along.
Ephram will be making big money, Ephram is a good looker, Ephram has social skills, and Ephram says he loves Trevor.
Trevor has a lousy job, no family, and friends who seem to give him a hard time.
On the surface it is an easy choice.
The film does not get explicit, but notice that there is no vision of what Trevor is to do in New York. A medical resident has long, irregular hours. Ephram will be bounced around at the hospital and will be wanting to spend time with his parents. How can he be sure Trevor is available when small patches of free time arise? There is no discussion of Trevor getting a job or going to school. There is no mention of domestic partnership or marriage. Is it fair to think that Trevor would be a kept houseboy for as long as the doctor finds it convenient? How well-off would Trevor be if the party ended? Did Ephram pick Trevor because Trevor was a proven doormat for Darrell?
Combine this observation with Ephram's behavior regarding tickling, managing conversations, and not telling the truth on the timing of the decision to take the job in New York, and maybe there is a case going the other way. Would it just be another nothing job for Trevor but in opulent surroundings?
Trevor has to compare his present in Los Angeles with a future in New York. Will he speak up for himself? Will he choose? Will he live happily ever after or kick himself? Watch and see.
The mechanics of the production were good. The acting of the main characters was fine. Trevor, Jake, Darrell, and Ephram all give good skin shots. The extras are a photo gallery, a trailer, and five other Here! trailers.
The audience has to work a bit at intuiting reasons why the characters continue to like each other as much as they do.
This is a summer movie that explores people trapped in dead-end situations and how some of them get to consider using new relationships to reinvent themselves. There is plenty of humor, but the issues are real.
