Longhorns

Freeze Frame Was Invented For This Movie!
Longhorns is a sexy gay comedy that is unlike most, in that it actually has far more heterosexual characters than homosexual characters. But it still can be categorized as a gay movie, since the two main characters are gay, even though one of them doesn't realize it until late in the movie. There is a sweet romance among all of the comedic moments, and there are a couple of scenes that tug at the heartstrings. Oh, and the nudity. Good God, the nudity. There are five full frontal scenes. All the male actors in the cast show their "longhorns". And Dylan Vox is hilarious in the role of Steve. Everytime he's on screen, be prepared to laugh. Longhorns isn't the best of its type to be released this year (I liked Eating Out: Drama Camp more), but it's still well worth watching if you're gay or just "curious".

Worth the wait, lives up to the hype
longhorns was a nice movie. Was it groundbreaking cinema? No. Was it ever intended to be in the Oscar race? No. It's a cute gay love story about life in the closet in the 80's. It is short (clocking in at only 75 minutes), but that just means you don't have to worry about any slow points. in actuality i think they could have used about fifteen more minutes in the middle before Jacob Newton's character went running off to the cabin in the woods with his high school buddies, but that's just me. The acting was above average for low-budget indie. The chemistry between the characters was (mostly) believable. Derek Efrain Villanueva is wonderful, and i fell for him almost as quickly as Jacob Newton did in the movie. WELL worth the rental, and i will be buy a copy for myself as well.

A fun movie
I wanted to see this movie when it recently played at the local LGBT film festival, but I missed the screening. So I went today and picked up a copy of it on DVD and am glad I did. It's a fun movie. It takes me back to my college days in the early 80's, and some of what happens in the movie, I KNOW was going on at school, and probably more so today. All the actors do a really good job, especially Dylan Vox who is hilarious. And I also like that 'everything' is shown and not edited. You can tell that it was shot on a small budget and on a tight schedule, but it's also not meant to be the next 'Brokeback Mountain'. I've certainly seen much worse filmed indie movies before. So if you're looking for a fun romp, check this one out.
