'pink' stinks

I give this movie a 2 cause Kyle MacLachan is really delicious imitating Cary Grant. Also, the conceit of his character (he extols the virtues of staying in the closet) is interesting. The rest of the film is anything but. Exasperatingly predictable with witty exchanges like He: She has a peaches and cream complexion! She: Well, I'm lactose intolerant! (The Sundance audience howled at that line, as they did through most of the movie, incidentally. Sundance audiences are THE worst!)

If you want to see a vastly superior interesting and not only interesting but thoroughly enchanting movie about gay Arab issues see "ROAD TO LOVE" by Remi Lange. You won't get some tired mother in law yipping and yapping cliché in this one taking up most of the screen time! And you get far wittier exchanges in this film in a style combining "Dogma" and Cassavettes style approach starring two wonderful quick charismatic Algerian dudes.

You know in "Pink" I really hated every single character in the movie, when I think back on it... basically it was cause they were made of cardboard.
