This is Gregg Araki's best film since his 1997 "Nowhere" and the kind of gay comedy I can show to people who hate gay comedies.
Why? Because, while the cast is gorgeous, they are also fantastic actors - and Araki knows how to direct and edit comedy. The gags are timed to perfection and character's tongues are kept firmly in cheek (in other words, you don't find witless muscle boys mugging the camera in a Gregg Araki film).
Silly and goofy? Yes. But so what? It is like a great big gay version of "Escape to Witch Mountain" with a little flesh thrown in for good measure.
Great fun!
