Audience Member A Four Letter Word is surprisingly good, this may be cliche, but when it is done right you get a powerful typical gay film. Great performance by all our leads, great romantic dialogue, and just simply wonderful setting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Casper Andreas does it again! Directs another thought provoking, funny and sweet film about the dating scene..Many of the characters from his previous movie "Slutty Summer" appear on this one. There are several humorous situations, characters, and setups to ask the question of how it is possible to maintain the integrity of gay love in an atmosphere of unbridled hedonism, replete with orgies (or "fourgies"), transvestism, and naked yoga. The main protagonist is Luke (Jesse Archer), a serial playboy that considers trying out a life of monogamy when he meets the shamelessly handsome Stephen (Charlie David) at his favorite gay bar. But a secret Stephen's been keeping from him could be a deal-breaker when it comes to true love. Then Peter (Steven M. Goldsmith) prepares to move in with his boyfriend while watching his straight boss (Virginia Bryan) questioning her sexuality..Luke's character was hilarious! Definitely recommend the film and plenty of eye candy! :-) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was all over the place. I was looking forward to it as I am a fan of Charlie David's. It was good to see him cast as a bad guy for a change. Writing was ok and there were parts of the film that were fun but it's definitely a film for an urban gay audience. I will say this - the production value was VERY good for a low budget indy movie. Alas, that did not make up for the deficiencies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched it twice and that is rare for me. This is so entertaining. If u r gay, go watch it, Recommend 90% tomato meter, forget the critics! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member No es una excelente película, tampoco tiene grandes actuaciones sin embargo la ideas es buena y logra despertar cierta simpatía Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member it wasn't as good as I expected. I only watched this for Charlie David (from Dante's Cove.) It dragged on and on. Had some funny parts though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
