      Audience Member In a private Palm Springs Resort, a recently outed soap actor and a gay marriage advocate collide. Initially their situations make them repel against each other, but after making their peace and realizing their aligned aituations they hook up and their secrets divulge an even closer bond. This film should be all shades of cheesy, but the dialogue between, what is basically a 2 man play, is exceptional. It handles the issues very neatly without being all placard waving. It ends up being a very nice romance with a script that talks about issues intelligently. The leads have a very nice chemistry and the finale is nicely formed. my only issue is the length of Steve Callaghan's armpit hair which, considering his hairless body, is ridiculously long. Also the amount of time they spend naked, there is no full frontal. It gets Austin Powers at times. It's not like it was ever classed in a rating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pleasantly surprised by Role/Play. The script is a clever and thoughtful look at the perils and pleasures of coming out publicly, with enough twists to keep it interesting. It's carried mainly by the two main actors who are convincing in the affection their characters feel for each other. Worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member bad acting....find something more worth watching and with more social relevance Plot: 2 bitching gay guys meet in Palm Springs, have a glass or 2 the following evening then end up having sex the following morning. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member For a gay movie about a gay activist and a soap opera actor who fall in love, this is actually a pretty good movie. The acting is pretty good for what it is and the storyline actually dives a little deeper into current issues. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The dialog and script were horrible. HORRIBLE. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Some might think this movie is slow, but if you're willing to listen, the couple in this movie talk about some good topics in the gay society. Cute. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      James Plath Movie Metropolis Only a fair film, though gays might welcome it just because there aren't nearly enough films being made today about gay interests. Rated: 5/10 Mar 5, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
