A veritable feast of hot and sweaty, young, British talent. The film is packed with it. And I think the fact that they are all sweaty is actually very clever. You can't tell what's making them heat up, is it the sun or is it the sexual tension?
While I really enjoyed this film, it's probably more because I got to see Paul Nicholls' penis than because the story was good. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not as good as Paul's little friend. However, I do feel that it doesn't necessarily send out a positive message of life as a gay man or the world surrounding Clapham Common. I've never been there, so I don't know and I know it's based on true events, but it would have been nice for something happy to occur as well as all the downs to provide a little bit of balance. Maybe I've just been very fortunate in that I have never been victim to homophobia on such a scale and it has made me complacent and naive, but I'm sure that good relationships must happen too. At least I've got to hope that it's the case.
It's definitely worth a watch and not just for Paul's willy, but I would suggest that you try not to let it scare you if you are a young or vulnerable gay man, who is easily persuaded.
I expected more nudity, as copies of this film on DVD are selling at a minimum of £19.99 on eBay and it generally has to be imported from America without a rating, and quite frankly, I wanted to see Detective Joe from Vera in the buff, I bet he's got a great bottom.
I don't think you can say it's as clever or as well put together as films like "Call Me By Your Name" or "God's Own Country", but it is thoughtful and filmed with some artistic perspective. I like the way their lives all intertwine, that was done well.
I do like a happy ending personally.
