Boyfriends (1996)
Member Rating:  
In this British dramatic comedy, three gay couples spend a weekend in the country as they try to sort out their relationships. Paul (James Dreyfus) and Ben (Mark Sands) have been together for five years; the first four were happy, but things have gotten difficult in recent months, and they're considering calling it quits. They've rented a house in the country for Easter weekend and have brought along some friends, whose love lives are also in transition. Owen (Andrew Ableson) and Matt (Michael Urwin) have been seeing each other for three months and are wondering if the time is right to move in together. Meanwhile, Will (David Coffey) and Adam (Darren Petrucci) recently shared a one-night stand, and Will is hoping it will grow into something deeper, though Adam knows better. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

So predictable and ultimately very boring. Don't waste your time.

KRISTIAN V.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

Bland at best. . . and tired stereotypes at worst. All the characters in this film have sufficient issues on-board, should this film be real-life instead of cinema, as to put a therapist's kids through university (and his wife in a sexy Ferrari convertible). While both real-life and film can show both gay and straight folks with issues, what strikes me most singularly is that each single character in this film has no redeeming quality. Lengthy, boring, and ripe with socio-sexual stereotypes, the only good thing I can say about this film is that it eventually ends.

Michael E.

A cute movie about gay realtionships and how some old chicken hawks mix it up with a couple of younger dudes at a summer home. A liitle drawn out in the end (timeto refresh your drink), but worth its examination of how we second guess our relationships. Some funny scenes. and a young bloke with a charming British accent. A history of being gay in the 90s!
