Straight porn

The concept of this movie was rather delicious -- two old (and very straight) buddies hook up after a separation of some years and, in a drug and alcohol-fuelled haze, agree to make a porn film together where one will fuck the other.


In the hard, cold light of day, will their competitive relationship allow them to back down or can they actually go through with it?

Our heroes are suitably manly (ie, all pot-belly and unkempt stubble), and their intense rivalry reminds me of some of my straight men friends. It feels authentic, and yet you find yourself smiling at the absurdity of their friendly (but deadly serious) posturing.


It's unfortunate that the film can't, er, sustain itself to the climax, instead limply wimping out. But the journey has been immense fun.
