I find myself not knowing whether to be amused or annoyed by this.

Read the synopsis.

Many potential yummy slash moments, but I'm not totally happy about all the stereotyping.

So. A poll.

I get the impression it's meant to parody stereotypes--in which case it could be very funny indeed. However, parodies need to be pulled off well to get their point across.

It could be amusing and smart, or it could be totally stupid and offensive. Too early to tell IMO. Will I see it? Probably on cable or dvd...I'm too cheap to go to the theaters these days unless dragged along by friends.

if I have nothing else to do and am bored, I will go see the movie.

I think a movie like this is perfect - it'll help the queer community (and those supportive of it) not take themselves too seriously. And you can't tell what it'll say about gays and gay culture until you've actually seen the movie. We've all got to laugh at ourselves sometimes :)

I think it'll be funny, if I see it that is. I just don't like that it stereotypes gays. But then of course there was Not Another Teen Movie which stereotypes teens and Scary Movie which stereotypes scary movies...I just don't know how I feel about homosexuals being portrayed in such a manner. If someone made a movie called Not Another Black Person movie they'd be lynched...makes you think.

Anyway, I don't know if I'll see it. Probably when it comes out on video. We'll have to see.

I'll probably rent it. It's not so much that it will be a bad movie for the gay community, but more if the director manages to pull off the stereotypes.

Honestly, after reading the synopsis, it seems to make fun of male horniness more than anything. And for that reason alone I'd want to see it.

It's not meant to take seriously. Like But I'm a Cheerleader wasn't meant to be taken seriously for lesbians or that patrick swayze transvestite movie wasn't mean to be taken seriously for drag queens. That's the key. If there are enough jokes and good humor and simply silliness to the movie, it shoudln't be offensive. If it makes a point to be too serious in what it's portraying in a false way, then it's offensive.

Still.. Horny teenage boys. That makes a person want to watch it.
