Summary: Did any of these reviewers actually SEE the movie?
Review: I enjoyed the second and first story more than the last. The only thing I didn't like about this film (and all gay cinema), is the fear to portray intimacy on the screen. Had this been a heterosexual film, the couples would have been butt naked and bumpin' within the first ten minutes. It took almost half an hour for one kiss! Now I'm not saying that I want to see hardcore anything, but I would like to see the two actually together without fear from the critics. Other than that I thought it was nice, the acting was kind of cheesy but who can blame them? I actually give it like 4 stars but if I did would you read my review?

Summary: You'll enjoy these fun little films.
Review: Our heroes portrayed by Josh Weinstein (POOL DAYS), Raoul O'Connell (FREIND OF DOROTHY) and Matt Nolan (THE DISCO YEARS) embark on the journey called Coming Out. Hearts are broken, family members are upset and close friends provide a shoulder to cry on (Anne Zupa, you are just wonderful!) Films like this provide such a nice diversion from a stressful life for me! Anyway, these quality films have been given a nice release from Image DVD. The quality is much better than the VHS versions, but that hardly matters. Each film is presented full frame only. An interactive menu and scene selections are the only extras offered. No trailers (oddly the trailer for this film is offered on the BOYS LIFE 2 DVD) Buy this for the low Amazon price and show Image Entertainment that we support such films on DVD. Who knows, maybe they'll give us more gay films like the equally entertaining BOYS IN LOVE series.

Summary: I only liked the first one
Review: The first of these three stories was OK, but (in my opinion) the other two stories had unnecessary and unwanted female characters hogging the screen. The second story is about a gay boy who has a best friend referred to as a "fat girl," and the third story is about a gay boy who can't get out from under his momma's thumb -- in fact, she forces him to take disco dancing lessons together with her! Gag me with a spoon.

Summary: Excellent "coming out" film
Review: The three shorts presented here are surprisingly strong, very well directed and produced, and the acting is excellent all around. All three tales are wonderful, but my favorite was the second one, "A Friend Of Dorothy". Raoul O'Connell (director and star) is the cutest thing I've seen in a while. WHY HAS HE NOT MADE ANY MORE FILMS? Highly recommended, and much better than the sequel, Boys Life 2.

Summary: I only liked the first one
Review: These little movies, which seem much more dated, content-wise and technically, than 1995, are like really good junk food -- you will enjoy every minute, but they will not stay with you. Each one begins and builds like classic gay porn movies, except of course these little films are tastefully erotic, and tell stories of both requited and unrequited love, and of the trials and tribulations of growing up gay. The performances are uniformly unintentionally hilarious, particularly the mother in the final "Disco Years" movie.

Summary: Nice Shorts
Review: These short films are great. Another collection of shorts in comparison is "Boys in Love". However, "Boys' Life" is much better for many reasons. First, the acting is much better. The actors actually have ranges of emotion and seem more relaxed and real than those in "Boys in Love". Second, the stories are more interesting. They're not very deep or too "artsy fartsy". They're simple stories that many people will enjoy. Third, cuter guys.I was fully entertained by "Boys' Life" and I can't wait until I get "Boys' Life 2".

Summary: Raoul O'Connel is sooooo Gorgeous!
Review: This is such a great short film series. I have had numerous showings for friends and all have either rented it, purchased it or borrowed it from me (cheapo's). Raoul is the hottest babe. This is a must see, as is Boys Life 2. The only ones that seem bothered by it were people who like their entertainment real glossy and mainstream. Got it? Get it!
