Please do not watch this film if you are expecting to see something "erotic." As with many Filipino gay-themed films, this one concerns yet another poor man who sleeps with men for money, but then is actually straight. Or not. It's too confusing to care about.
More importantly, this film, made in 2006, cheaply and poorly, exposes, yet again, the deep and horrible poverty that is rampant in the Philippines. The film zigzags between a "macho dancers" bar, a number of cheap homes, an orphanage and other questionable locations. The young actor Tyron Perez does his best to bring charm and sexiness to his role, but what could possibly be joyful about his life and his world in this movie? Nothing.
The production throws up whatever comes into its mind onto the screen and thinks "This is good!" -- and then splices it together. It's a disaster.
It is marketed as "Macho Dancer for the 21st century!" If that is so, then it means there has been absolutely no improvements whatsoever in the lives of these poor young men since the 1989 original film.
This film degrades, insults and exploits these poor young men and nothing good comes of anything. It is tragic, sad, disgusting, and disturbing. You have been warned.
