Whenever I want to watch a cute rom-com film, “The 10 Year Plan” is one of my regular choices! Given that this time of year is when everyone from Hallmark to Netflix are pushing out Rom-Com’s due to a specific commercial “holiday” [Valentine’s Day], a review of this film is quite fitting. A true Rom-Com requires three key things: 1 – Person A; 2 – Person B; Shenanigan that’s keeping the two lovers apart. All…

I’m not a huge fan of analogies, but there’s one that comes to mind while I searched for all of the new queer Christmas films premiering this holiday season. It involves a river, a dam, and climate change. For decades, the unique Christmas film niche greatly lacked any queerness; like a river that was damned, letting a small trickle through with the occasional independent queer Christmas film making its way through. In 2020, the dam…

Back when I started Queer Film Reviews, my “5 Queer RomComs For Valentine’s Day” was the first non-holiday post on the site. I felt that it was the best post theme, because everyone loves romcoms. And Valentine’s Day simply calls for both romance and a dash of comedy. So as Queer Film Reviews goes into it’s SIXTH year, I felt it fitting to revisit Queer RomComs, especially since they’re PERFECT for Valentine’s Day. Which is…

Warning: This film is full of British slang, crude jokes, and crass language. If you find that offensive, this might not be a film for you. You WERE warned! “9 Dead Gay Guys” is probably the most offensive and stereotypical queer film I have seen – and it’s also one of the funniest! This black comical farce does not attempt to hide what it is, and even embraces all of its political incorrectness as it…

May 19 is Agender Pride Day, so you know what that means? Happy Agender Pride Day! For anyone who isn’t familiar with Latin, the prefix “a-” means “without”. Thus, agender means one who is without gender. Folks who identify themselves as agender do not associate with one particular gender. Other terms used include genderblank, genderfree, genderless, gendervoid, non-gendered, ungendered, and null gender. Many use the pronouns “they/them”, however people choose whatever they feel comfortable using….

What does Quiche Lorraine, high school seniors, and a quest to lose their anal virginity have in common – they’re all included in this spoof of comedy classic “American Pie”, albeit with quite a queer twist! But is this just another parody or does “Another Gay Movie” strong enough to stand up on its own? Let’s dig into this hysterical comedic romp! The Quest for Anal … I mean, the Plot! “We dunno shit about…

For the last four years each holiday season, I’ve shared a Christmas-themed highlighting five queer Christmas films. I’ve done the “kinda” queer Christmas films (see HERE and HERE) as well as the Queer Kinda “Christmas” Films (see HERE and HERE). While it’s been interesting to note films with those subtle differences, this year I’ve decided to steer away from that and head into brand NEW territory! DARK Queer Christmas Films! When most folks think of…

[“Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds” is part of the “Eating Out” Saga. To read my review for the next film, “Eating Out: All You Can Eat”, click HERE. To recap the entire saga, head over to THIS post!] Normally, sequels don’t fare as great as the first film – especially when you recast one of the leads! However, there’s something about “Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds” that actually makes it a better and more enjoyable…

From reading the synopsis, I was not that intrigued by “Friendsgiving”, the latest film to kick off the 2020 holiday season. I felt like I would either love it – or hate it; there simply is no middle ground for ensemble films like these that posit multiple character storylines against each other to unfold comically. It works – or it doesn’t. While there were a couple of heartfelt moments in “Friendsgiving”, I was bored most…

Well this is awkward… when I created the initial draft for my review of “I Hate New Year’s”, the film had an IMDb rating of 5.1. – it’s now 4.3. Oops! However, the drop is a tad understandable because while there are some good moments of this new queer film – overall, it’s not that great. Sure, we have a lesbian holiday romance to watch this year, and it IS a rather cute story. But…

Last year, I shared my list of five Queer Drama Films. But if you recall, I had a difficult time picking only five dramas to make the cut. To be fair, there are TONS of amazing and worthy queer dramas to choose from. So this month we’re going to revisit the drama genre with five MORE Queer Drama Films that are worth watching! If you missed that post, I highly encourage you to go check…

Last year I reviewed Queer RomComs. Back in February I split the genre in half and gave you five Queer Romances. Now it’s time for the other half: Queer Comedy Films! However like the trouble I had with isolating romances, I had a tricky time determining solely queer comedy films for this month’s post. After all, comedy and romance often go hand in hand together – and for good reason! But I think these five…

“Family” is a tricky word to define. It can mean different things in different situations, both positive and not-so-positive. When it comes to a family film, that vague depiction remains. Most would associate a “family film” with animation or a film made with young kids in mind – “a film for the entire family.” Yet it can also be a film that focuses on the importance of family to tell its story. Both would be…

AKA: Queer films set at Christmas, but aren’t actually Christmas films. Confused? That’s OK! So was I while watching a few of these films. When searching for queer Christmas films to review this year, these five films showed up within the results. But most of their posters don’t scream out “Christmas” so I was left rather puzzled. It was only upon further examination within their synopsis that you learn that all of these films are…

The Good This is a really good compilation of shorts! With one exception, each one focus on the exoticness of non-sexual situations between guys – or how those rather innocent situations can quickly lead to a sexual, taunting flirtation and tease. A lot of thought went into the script; it is not merely a cheesy porno “story,” but realistic dialogue for each situation. The “Tension” is not just on screen between the actors, but we…

Note: This movie review is one of the films in my Top 5 Queer Holiday Film 2019 “Shared Rooms” is another queer holiday film from director/writer Rob Williams, the first being #2 on my list, “Make the Yuletide Gay”. While it might seem odd that I would place this film at my #1 spot, despite having a lower ranking and a few more flaws, the reality is that they both are at the top of my queer…
