Globe and Mail Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Addox The Advocate It's a powerful message few gay films tackle. Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jun 13, 2005 Full Review Paul Matwychuk Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Rated: 2/5 Nov 29, 2002 Full Review Rob Nelson Nashville Scene This indelibly vivid, Brooklyn-set sex-melodrama posits Latino culture against the Anglo-American "show business" milieu that appropriates and stereotypes it.

Audience Member Cheesy porn acting - without the porn! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Ridiculous but campy fun! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Ridiculous but campy fun! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Latin Boys Go To Hell is an atrocity masquerading as a parody, but it didn't fool me. Do yourselves a favor and don't waste your money unless you're interested in seeing some terrible softcore porn. The writing, directing, production and acting are all equally inferior and early on the movie just becomes laughable. Irwin Ossa gives a dry, wooden performance as the lead character, while his counterpart John Bryant Davila sleepwalks through his role. It's hard to believe that Guinevere Turner is part of this: granted it's only a brief cameo as one of the telenovela actresses, but nevertheless, a woman of her talent is so out of place here. As a gay Latino, I found this movie insulting and even moreso because there is such a lack of Latin gay presence in films that it's embarrassing to have this as one of the first offerings. Luckily there are top-tier Latino movies out now like Quinceanera and East Side Story. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie because I'M IN IT!!!! and because I'm in the movie credits (Fil Fernandez) Yes!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member a gay treat, turned me. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
