10/25/2010 watched this film this weekend. good enough for a gay-themed movie, which is often times an excuse for mediocre film making. See more 05/13/2010 a bit too hard to follow; yet a good detective movie with a lot of suspense and mystery. See more 06/22/2009 Donald Strachey, the first gay dective is back. He is helping to elderly Lesbians save their house from vandals. See more 06/22/2009 I'm a supporter of this movie series not only because they are pioneering but also because I am such a huge fan of Chad Allen. This is the weakest of the movies so far, mainly due to the script writing. The books are better but Chad does shine and is a class above the material. It was fun to see Margot Kidder go from Lois Lane (circa 80's) to an old Lesbian in this film, bless her! :) Hopefully the next in the series will be better. See more 05/30/2009 You know the story on this one. See more 04/01/2009 There is no chemistry between the leads. There are too many characters. At least they have moved out of the gay "girlfriend!"/ musicals and wine drinking stereotypes with this one. See more Read all reviews
