      Audience Member 101 Rent Boys is shot on location in various motel rooms situated on the length of the Santa Monica Boulevard, and features 101 different hustlers. Although the film features 101 different people, it focuses on the lives (and loves) of a few key men. They have been chosen to reflect the immense diversity of the boys of the Santa Monica Strip. An amazing thing happens when you cross a video camera with award-winning directors, $50 and a hustler. The pieces are slickly grouped to cover certain themes; such as their first john, gay for pay, homelessness, drugs or the reason that they began to work as a rent boy. It also explores the variety of insiders' opinion on subjects such as; how a rent boy should dress, speak, act, think, give head, receive head, increase cash flow, keep safe, walk, eat, smoke, and flirt. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Occassionally interesting but never illuminating documentary. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It's, uh, interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 10 WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER... because the movie tries to cover too many people in too little time, jumping from one thing to the next and without really going deep into each character. It was like watching someone with a hand-held camera in a street corner interviewing people, asking them a couple of quick questions, giving them 50 bucks, and then moving on to the next person walking by. I found it sad but most of all boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member WHAT THE FUCK!!! I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS A REAL MOVIE!!! IT ENDED UP BEING SOME PORN DOCUMENTARY!!
