Gaydar

I saw this film at the Ashland Film Festival, 2003. It was 5th in a set of 5 shorts. Out of all of them, this was clearly the most fun. Before this one came on I has been disappointed in the set. I was delighted during the entire story. The acting was great fun. Charles Nelson Reilly's presence was a great pleasure. There

were many subtle comic touches. I recommend this film to anyone!

Sweet and has a great meaning behind it! Sometimes you just have to feed your imagination rather than knowing the truth! I honestly suggest watching this film!

A man wonders if his hunky co-worker is gay. At a yard sale he finds a ray gun called "Gaydar". You point it at a person, pull the trigger and it tells you how gay they are. He tries it out, it works and he sets out to find out if his coworker is gay like him...

Promising idea ruined by an unfunny script (after a promising beginning) and terrible acting. The entire cast overacts and basically SCREAM their lines at each other constantly. It gets annoying and really embarassing after a while. The saving grace is that's it is short, there's a scene stealing cat (love her fall out of the kitty bed) and Charles Nelson Reilly is hysterical in his brief bit. But none of this saves the movie. I can't recommend this at all.

This is an indie film, a short 30 minute film that made the rounds at smaller film festivals. Made by two friends as an initial foray into film making. It's a farce, short and simple, that aspires to nothing more than making the audience laugh. Peppered with jokes and kind-hearted, stereotypical depictions of gays, the film has fun. While not technically perfect (and occasionally overacted), it's a lot of fun and the film never takes itself too seriously.

Featuring a theme song sung by Gwen Stewart (from the original Broadway production of "Rent"). This film is silly fun; it knows what it is and doesn't aspire to be more.

Every gay man has talked about their "gaydar", wishing they had one so they didn't have to waste time chasing cute straight boys they have no chance with. In this movie, that wish comes true. While funny, if a little stereotypical, and complete in its own right, it leaves a some key things unanswered. The star and co-producer, Terry Ray, was at the showing, and said that one of those questions in particular would be answered in a feature length version in the planning stages. There is a cat in the movie that's almost worth the price of admission alone. I'll give it a 7, just.
