This was a fun film, great for a late night or a lazy morning. Thank You Michael Urie and Randy Harrison! The Ugly Betty fans at my house have been without a new installment for what seemed like a century until we stumbled upon this gem on Netflix.I enjoyed the theatrical body work Urie and Harrison brought out in this film. Some would call it slap stick, but the movements of the actors really added to their overall character profiles. The humor was simple, but the choreography really added a fun flare. Urie and Harrison fit together as well, in the line of other good gay films like "The mostly unfabulous social life of Ethan Green", and "Eating Out." Ana Ortiz; Alec Mapa; Drew Droege; Tania Gunadi, how much fun did they all have making this? This stellar supporting cast made this film; and was quite reminiscent to how entertaining it was to watch Ugly Betty - not because of the writing, but because the actors made the writing complete.Certainly this film won't win many awards, but after watching Leo DeCaprio drag himself through the mud for five hours just for a gold stature, this film is a great antidote to the blase cinema culture expecting every last film to come out to be Shakespeare drab. Cheers!

"Help yourself to anything", the owners of a gorgeous suburban home tell complete strangers, forgetting to add, "But don't knock on the walls" where they find a ton of money. Just meeting the two party crashers who just happened to be driving by as one of their sisters was heading inside. "It's like Donald Trump threw up," one of the two says as they decide to feel momentarily rich, tossing large bills around until interrupted with the news that the home owners were killed while traveling. I guess you're supposed to root for the two gay guys because they are cute and in love and the sister and her husband are absolutely annoying, the sister in particularly as dumb as Space Mountain after closing.The likable but often flighty Randy Harrison made the most of bad writing on "Queer as Folk", and if there is any consistency, he does the same here where at least his character doesn't change suddenly as Justin did on QAF. But are him and loving husband Michael Urie so naive to think that they could get away with breaking and entering, take the money and run to make love, and not find repercussions? With Harrison's obnoxious sister suspicious, local law enforcement and even organized crime involved, they are up the Los Angeles River without a baton. Their constant referral to their labor doodles as their babies reminded me with great distaste of Robert Morley obsessing over his pink poodles in "Theater of Blood".Not one laugh hits as I struggled to find something positive to write. I've seen young Harrison on stage in several New York productions (in "Wicked" and "Harbor"), but unfamiliar with Urie, I wanted to find them believable. Their characters seem more early 20's in maturity than the mid '30s of the actors. Several gay cult performers have cameos in the duo's efforts to give the money to charity, yet the attempt at laughs just made me sneer. In addition to a plot that makes no sense, the paint by number stereotypes just further pulled it down. Practically every male character seems to have crawled out of West Hollywood's 24 Hr. Fitness rather than attending necessary acting classes, making me wonder if the person who got this off the ground simply went gym hopping or spent a weekend afternoon doing casting searches on Santa Monica Blvd's "Fun-day Sunday".

It's amazing that so many people could be so bad all at the same time.A totally lame script. Dialogue that is straight out of community theater. Bad lighting and tacky sets. It looks like they spent as little as possible. There's even a banker who smokes at his desk while waiting on clients. Really? The entire cast seems to be bored to tears. There is simply no energy at all. It's like watching the living dead sometimes. Very disappointed in Randy Harrison. He is lifeless and wooden. Unfortunately he has aged and not for the good. If this is typical of what he is now as an actor I have to say his best days are behind him. It appears his talents were limited to being 20 something, blonde, and will to take his clothes off. Pass. Fail! 2 stars because they all showed up.

What an intolerable film!! I could only finish it by increasing the playback speed by 100% !!! Randy Harrison's pace of delivery was a special form of torture. I don't know if it was his acting style, or the writing, or the directing! Probably all three! Such a pity considering the caliber of the cast and the promise the plot held. We should have definitely seen more of Ana Ortiz and Scott Wolf - their story lines were a LOT juicier than that of flat-lining Alex and Richard.Definitely give this movie a very big miss.
