Seriously lacking in boys in love, fun dolls though
JZvezda16 February 2003
No, it's not porn... damn these misleading titles. Nevertheless, it's a hoot for viewing and a glorious waste of $4 on the rental. "Boys In Love 2", like it's predecessor, is a collection of gay-themed or gay-produced short films. That doesn't necessarily mean that being a raving homosexual will give you any greater understanding or appreciation for BIL2. All one really needs to enjoy it is a serious penchant for camp and lowered expectations.

Forgive my sketchy details here... The first flick is some artsy-fartsy homo-erotic short featuring gladiators, or sumthin'. Forgettable, so fast forward.

The fun begins with a short...the name of which I don't recall...featuring the same plastic doll that appeared in "Boys In Love". Our heroine, the dollie, makes her away around via the wonders of stop-motion camera-work. And it's a real holler. The film is shot on location at the Pines on Fire Island, which means dollie gets to witness 2 muscle-boys humping before she, out of pure curiosity, sniffs a bottle of poppers the muscle-boys left on the floor. It's twisted, and sick, and fun and I peed myself laffing.

But the real p***er is "Karen Black Like Me." It's a send-up of the 70's made-for-television horror flick in which B-film goddess Karen Black is stalked by a killer voodoo doll. The role of Karen is played here by the feyest of fey sissy-monsters (some gay male actor)... and the role of the killer voodoo doll is played by.... a Jeff Stryker dildo.

See, I told you it was a hoot!

interesting collection of short films

Although it got off to a slow and silly start, i enjoyed most of the segments in this collection of short films. My favorites are "My Body" and "Twilight of the Gods" the latter being included on the DVD version but the former was, unfortunately, left out. Worth renting if you can find it.

I thought that the first Boys in Love was overall a much better collection. I enjoyed all four of those shorts. In this one that only one I thought decent was "Twilight of the Gods". I watched the first bits of the first few and ended up fastforwarding through them. "My Body" was ok, and "Dirty Baby" was interesting technically, but the rest didn't even hold my interest.
