Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)From Wolfe Video, "He Likes Guys" is a 2009 collection of eight rather diverse gay short films. As usual, my rating above is the average of the individual rating of the individual films.
The compilation starts with "Steam" (UK, 2008), a brief skit featuring a hot man getting "steamed up" about something. It's visually eye catching and reasonably clever, give it 4 stars out of 5.
On the "Silver Road" (Canada 2007), we find two farm boys, one of whom is looking for more than friendship, but unsure of how the other would react. Kind of a downer, IMO, 3 stars out of 5.
After his son Julien's death, a father finds "Traces" (USA, 2008) of information that lets him realize he didn't know him as well as he thought. Also a downer, but 4 stars out of 4.
Winner of an award from Planet Out, "Just" (US, 2007) covers a conversation between two men after they have just "hooked up," talking about relationships and their feelings about monogamy. Well done, 5 stars out of 5.
A newly-cohabiting young gay couple hit the "Laundromat" (US, 2008), crossing paths with a much older man, as they deal with their dirty laundry in more ways than one. A worthwhile lesson about how to make a relationship work. 5 stars out of 5.
"Seeing You In Circles" (US, 2005) tells the story of Jerome a gay man who, on his 30th birthday, invites his ex to a diner for a drink. When the ex turns up with his new boytoy, Jerome is not a happy camper. 4 stars out of 5.
Wendie ("Don't Shoot Me") Malick stars as a transgender woman in "Waiting for Yvette" (US, 2007), a cute look at friendship and love between the members of a small 12-step support group. 4 stars out of 5.
Last but not least, the gay couple who find themselves "Babysitting Andy" (Canada, 2007) are forced to deal with a precocious and manipulative 9 year old tomboy who, among other things, wants them to explain what "fellatio" means. Uh oh. Cute idea, 4 stars out of 5.
DVD extras consist of a couple of GLAAD public service spots, and trailers for other Wolfe releases.
