It starts off promisingly - a couple of rather cute young Irish guys, short of money, resort to providing sexual favours to the older men at the local gay pub to supplement their giros. But it very quickly loses all direction and descends into limp farce that tries too hard to be hip and politically incorrect. Tedious dialogue, offensive and unfunny stereotypes , and a plot that is simultaneously flimsy and incomprehensible... I was actually embarrassed by this film, and the end could not come soon enough. The only remotely good thing about it is Michael Praed, who gives a pretty decent performance as a flamboyant queen - everyone else involved should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Don't even think about purchasing or renting this film.

9 Dead Gay Guys - one by one!
Review date: 2004-12-05 Rating: 8 out of 10

This, it turns out, was written by an Irish Chinese man (as well as that, he directed it) - and the oddball but cleverly put-together black comedy that results is just what you might expect. It involves 2 Irish guys, out-of-work and in London, who turn out to 'service' gay men to supplement their Giros... not that they're gay, of course - it's just a paying job, you know...

But from the revelation that "the Queen is dead" (no, of course not what you think!), the body count just goes on piling up, in some very funny situations that play around with stereotyping, political correctness, and a lot of generally entertaining film-style comedy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, it was a lot better than I'd expected from the reviews I'd seen.
