A LITTLE better than the first but that's faint praise
20 September 2008
The four "lovable" gay guys from "Another Gay Movie" go to Ft. Lauderdale for Spring Break. It seems there's a contest called "Gays Gone Wild" going on there--the object is to be the one to have the most sex partners. Andy (Jake Mosser) is all for it but then falls for handsome Luis (Euriamias Losada). Luis loves him...but won't have sex. Monogamous couple Griff (Aaron Michael Davies) and Jarod (Jimmy Clabots) decide to sleep around--but will their relationship survive? Nico (Jonah Blechman) falls in love with Stan the Merman (Brent Corrigan). Yeah it's stupid but the beach party movies of the 1960s had a mermaid so why not a merman? OK--I HATED the first one. I found it disgusting and horrendously unfunny...but I saw it at a preview and didn't know it was a gross out comedy. This time I KNEW what I was getting into. The humor is still disgusting (unless you find extreme sexual humiliation and bleeding funny) but I was able to deal with it. Still this isn't a GOOD movie by any means.

It's very colorful and the cast is rearing to go. They're all attractive and Clabots and Mosser have beautiful bodies. There's no frontal nudity of them though--just back. The acting is not bad. Mosser overacts dreadfully at first but calms down as the movie progresses and gives out a very affecting performance. Davies and Clabots portray a gay couple realistically and are quite good. Blechman annoys me (WAY too femme) but he was good. Corrigan (whose did gay porn) is quite handsome and charming as a merman. The movie also has a few serious and well-done moments with the guys discussing relationships. Also there are plenty of buff good-looking guys strolling around near naked throughout most of the film. Some great eye candy! However--there's one problem. It's really not that funny. I admit I laughed out loud a few times but not much. Also the gross-out humor is out in full force here--two sequences involving non-stop vomiting and Crazy Glue used as lube are just beyond sick. Also the script wanders all over the place--characters and scenes come up out of nowhere! To make it worse there are parodies of old horror movies thrown into the script seemingly at random. Now I LOVE horror movies and I got the parodies--but they're totally out of place in a gay comedy. My audience sat through them in dead silence.

So, aside from the color, a few good moments, some good acting and plenty of good-looking men this really isn't that good. I can honestly give this only a 2. Seriously--the guys are incredible but the movie is really a chore to sit through sometimes.
