Story: 2 Irish straight friends meet in the London slums. One teaches the other how to earn some money by doing sexual favors to old queens until they get involved in a bizarre quest for a supposed mattress full of money that a villainous queen guarded until his death in his London urban castle. Little by little the way to the apparent gold is paved with the bodies of dead gay guys that they accidentally kill or are killed accidentally.
I tried to laugh but every time I was ready to do so I got disappointed with the ever-increasing number of gay stereotypes that this mostly straight casting performed from beginning to end. And by that time I was stranded with a movie that only used gay stereotyped characters as an excuse to try to painfully push the plot further. I gave 2 stars however not because of the kindergarten plot, or the lousy acting but because it was so funny to see so many straight men (some of them are talented actors with a huge background) give in to what they understand would an actual queen behave (you know... without liking it *too much* just like the 2 Irish characters). So the movie is as funny as your straight buddies' dull homophobic jokes.
Noneteheless, the grimaces from Steven Berkoff, the delicate manners of Michael Praed's character, the crazy silent running around of Fish and the ferocious thumping of Karen Shaman's the Iron Lady are some of the unforgettable moments from this movie.

Silly. Offensive. Unfunny. Dubious. Plotless. Charm-free. Vapid. Without Redeeming Value. Stupid.
I think the last one pretty much covers it all.

This is a fun dark comedy. When I saw the title, I was apprehensive. However, the main characters are likeable and the premise of the movie was unexpectedly fresh. Also, this isn't your stereotypical gay movie. The main characters are Irish men in their early-mid 20's who come to London because the "streets are paved with gold." Well, long story short, they end up doing some gay hustling to make ends meet between dole (sp?)checks. Hilarity ensues when one gay guy is found dead and the main characters find themselves unexpected with the murder weapon. The story continues with a man hunt for a money stash. In the end, 9 gays guys end up dead - but in mostly funny ways. BTW, there is a tiny bit of nudity but it's pretty tame.
I've seen the movie twice and have recently added it to my DVD collection.
