Trick (1999)
6/10
A fun, uplifting gay movie.

I had made a list of "gay" films I had wanted to see, and this was on the list. I saw this airing on Logo yesterday, so I watched it. For a gay themed movie, it was pretty good. Normally, if a movie has gay characters in it, it's a depressing story all about how they have AIDS, and how they deal with it, things like that. But this was a gay movie that was actually fun to watch. I was a little worried about it being a comedy, because they might stereotype the characters, but the only character in this movie that was a queen was Perry, but some gays are actually like that, so I guess I shouldn't complain. I'm not a huge fan of Tori Spelling, but she was tolerable in the movie. I thought it was sweet when she finally came to terms with the fact that she was a lesbian. But the one thing I didn't like was that I had a hard time getting into the characters because honestly, they weren't that deep. I mean c'mon. Timid music writer meets hot guy, and they fall in love? Not very easy to feel for them. Another thing was that it seemed like they kept avoiding a kiss. I mean, they tried to kiss what, like 3 times in the movie and they kept getting interrupted? I know this movie was made in 1999, before people were so accepting like they are now, but c'mon. But at least they kissed at the end. I would recommend this film for a rent if you feel like watching something uplifting. But unless you are making a detailed collection of gay films, then I wouldn't recommend buying this one. Overall, it's a fun film, but falls short. 7/10.
