Review of Boyfriends

Boyfriends (1996)
Abysmal
30 October 1998
Whiny, dull characters, a cliched "Big-Chill" style set-up and predictable, flat dialogue. Like the majority of 90's gay cinema, offers little in the way of insight and simply satisfies itself with rehashing tired identity politics and reinforcing conventional notions of gay male attitudes and behavior. None of the characters resonate; the film starts at point A and basically stays there for what feels like a very, very loooong time.

I'd rather sit through "Boys In the Band" or "Cruising" a hundred times than watch this pedestrian mess again.
