9 Dead Gay Guys  Rating: Rating:  - A campy and irreverent search for a hidden stash of cashYoung Irishman Kenny decides to follow in the footsteps of his best mate Byron, who left to make his fortune in the big city -- London. He finds Byron shacked up in an abandoned building, but worse, he learns that his best mates been earning his money not in some blue-collar trade but as a hustler at the local gay bar. In spite of this, Kenny decides to stay on with his mate and soon finds himself drawn Byron's life, as his money quickly runs out. But things take an unusual turn when words spreads that The Queen has been murdered. Stories abound about a hidden trove of cash tucked away in the gigantic bed she shared with her lover, Golders Green, an Orthodox Jew. Determined to find the money, they set off around London in search of Golders' house, leaving a trail of accidental deaths, a desparate dwarf, and Kenny discovering the truth about himself. Writer/Director Ky Mo Lab's first film is irreverant, ballsy, campy and just plain fun. The dialogue is sharp and funny, and delivered incredibly well by all the actors. Glen Mulhern and Brendan Mackey are wonderful as the duo of Kenny and Byron. They come across as genuine friends, willing to help one another out in a pinch. The featured actors are equally fine, including Vas Blackwood, Steven Berkoff, Michael Praed, and Karen Sharman. But, Raymond Griffiths almost steals the entire movie as The Desparate Dwarf who only wants someone to have sex with him. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it even more enjoyable. A great film that will have you laughing out loud. Rating:  - A Mildly Interesting Sex farceWord of warning: if you are even the slightest bit offendable, this movie is not for you. Everyone is a target here. Gays, Jews, blacks, the elderly, short people, lesbians, not one topic is sacred. That said, this off the wall sex farce has its moments, but never quite gels into anything memorable. The plot, such as it is, revolves around two London club drinkers (Kenny and Bryon) who are willing to go down on the locals in a gay bar for drink money, all the while insisting that they aren't gay. (Or are they?) Then comes the news that one of the regulars is dead, and the intimations that there is a substantial amount of cash hidden somewhere the property of one of his regular tricks. Naturally, the men who find it first are going to be the collectors. But not before 8 more dead gay guys make their way into the picture for different silly reasons. Problem is, these characters are rushed in and out of the movie so quickly that you may never get a clue as to what their function is other than to become the punch line of a tasteless joke. Ultimately, "9 Dead Gay Guys" is more bark than bite. If there had been a little more attention to developing this into more than a couple of obvious naughty laughs, it could have been so much funnier. Not like tastelessness is a problem with the movie, the whole design is to BE without taste and offend as many folks as quickly as possible. Now if all that sounds appealing to you, you'll probably enjoy the movie and its running gags about sex, gays, death, drinking and the Really Hard Red Bull Test. Of which Kenny may just be the one man who can pass, in more ways than one. Rating: - Review: 9 Dead Gay GuysIf you have a problem with sexually explicit language, forget it. Beyond the swearing, this is a funny, lighthearted romp. The irish lads are naturals, and Michael Praed is GORGEOUS in glam makeup and flamboyant clothes. I enjoyed it, what did you think?? |
