Good Lord, another dreary tale of a guilt-ridden Jewish boy pursuing his elusive goy dream-boy. And Doc thinks himself a virgin although he had lots of oral sex in high school and college (???!). This is one of the most retrograde gay-themed movies I've ever seen, despite its millennial pretensions. The go-go dancer has his act together, and can do much better than this sad-sack. The soundtrack is appealing, but the dialog is often just silly. The premise is promising, that of anonymous virtual sex transitioning to real live contact. But Doc's infantile preconceptions about "saving himself" for his one and only sound more like that of a girl circa 1950.

This is a movie more about the juxtapositioning of surface thematics than about anything else...and you have lots of them: the innocent narcissist versus the vapid sex toy; the inherent sadness of loneliness versus the snarky adulation of the crowds; indulgent hero worship versus a pure insouciance. The movie uses a lot of interspersed video which itself is a commentary on the initial fragmentation of the characters into those thematic caricatures. Without needing a Pygmalion (Shaw) transition in either direction, the leads Go and Doc find themselves drawn towards each other on their own terms. They integrate rather than further fragment and find common ground right in the middle. The truly fabulous tour-of- NYC make-out scenes are celluloid-melting in a deeply romantic and convincing manner in the most egalitarian kissing yet filmed. They are equals and need no excuses. In the end Doc got exactly what he sought from the beginning: To know himself better through the non-judgmental eyes of a lost (but very sexy) soul.

I really didn't expect this to be very good. I watched it because the guys looked hot. And one of them was, and it has a lot of very sexy, erotic scenes, but it's also a pretty good story underneath. It's nothing incredibly original, but the two leads have an undeniable chemistry and the writing and dialogue is mostly on point. it's a pretty good LGBT film dealing with issues, and in that respect it reminds me of a more aesthetically energetic Weekend, even if it doesn't hit that film's deeper themes. Overall, for those with low expectations, this will be very surprising in quality. As a film, it really works. I definitely recommend it.

A gorgeous, early-20s gay virgin in Manhattan (if you believe there ever could be such a person), just about to graduate from Columbia and then west to Iowa for grad school, fakes a documentary film project in an attempt to meet a gorgeous gay go-go dancer he's become obsessed with online. To his surprise the dancer goes along with the idea. The fake documentary leads pretty quickly to some very real sex and a lovely, tender, sort-of relationship.Actor and singer Tanner Cohen, the star of Were the World Mine (made by the same guys who made this one, but MUCH different), plays Doc, the almost-Columbia-grad virgin. Matthew Camp, a real live go-go dancer, plays Go, who is actually himself. The movie was shot in Camp's own apartment, gym, club, supermarket, etc, and follows his regular daily and nightly routine. The only fiction is the business with Doc.From beginning to end, nothing about this movie is conventional or predictable. Unlike 99.9% of gay men who see this, I thought Doc was lots sexier than Go, but the nerdy type with a totally natural body appeals to me lots more than the buff, shaved, go-go boy type. But Go is very smart and has an angelic face, and inside he's ten times sweeter and more appealing than Doc is - one of the sweetest and most appealing characters ever to appear in a gay movie. Matthew Camp is thoroughly delightful. Definitely, definitely worth seeing.
