Member Rating:  
In this gangster farce from first-time writer/director Ky Mo Lab, a pair of Irish pals become embroiled in a murder mystery upon their move to London. When Kenny (Glen Mulhern) arrives in the big city, he's dismayed to find his mate, Byron (Brendan Mackey), on the dole and boozing it up. But he's even more horrified to learn how Byron supplements his dole checks: by working as a rent boy in a gay pub. Despite his trepidation, Kenny soon embarks on a parallel career. But when a rich couple named The Queen (Michael Praed) and Golders Green (Simon Godley) turn up dead, Kenny and Byron think they've found the solution to their financial woes. Rumor has it that Golders Green kept a wad of cash squirreled away in his mattress. Unfortunately, several other colorful low-lives have their eyes on the prize, from The Desperate Dwarf (Raymond Griffiths) to The Iron Lady (Karen Sharman). As the queer corpses continue to pile up, Kenny and Byron wonder whether they'll ever locate the loot -- and whether their newfound occupation has deeper implications. Screened at the Palm Springs Film Festival, Nine Dead Gay Guys marked the feature debut for both Mulhern and Mackey. The character Golders Green is named after the neighborhood where he lives, a historically Jewish area of London. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

    Hilarious! Just enough stereotyping to be caricature while not ofensive. It is a very light look of a sub-culture's sub-cultures.

    Very witty and intelligent, a spoof of the gangster films and even of classic mysteries. Pokes fun at the gay subculture of England while still being positive and upbeat about it. The plot is simplistic but has a few nice twists. The stereotypes are funny and not hurtful and probably far too much like people I know! Enjoy and laugh at yourself when you watch this.

    I remember reading somewhere how offensive some conservative gays found this movie. Personally, I thought it was pretty damn funny. Not deep, meaningful but more along the lines of a gay Farrelly brothers movie (in the UK of course). Worth a laugh.
