Make a Wish

I was fortunate to attend a screening of Make A Wish in LA at Outfest in the Director's Guild of America theater, it was a scream. At least we finally get a gay movie where the story stays coherent all the way through with no embarrassing stupidity like The Fluffer or the like. Everyone was dying laughing. The movie is fun to watch, a guilty gay pleasure, grab the popcorn and turn off your brain. I thought having the cast play everything so straight faced was right on, the horror clichés were not lost on the audience. I would say it is more funny than scary, but there are a couple of great scary surprises.

I thought the acting was solid. This is a very low budget feature with no B cam and a small cast, maybe that's why the other writer before me was so fooled, I guess he has never actually seen bad acting, or maybe he's too easily fooled by the usual Hollywood scene stealing and scenery chewing.

I loved how the movie veered into an incredibly weird and surreal serious climax, then ... well go see it.
