Summary: Two Films in One
Review: The main problem with TRAVELING TO OLYMPIA is that it can't decide what it wants to be: an inditement of unfair treatment of gays or a soft-core porn flick. It is much to "talky" and "preachy" and it's lecturing to an audience that is already converted. And it's terribly SLOW. Oh, is it slow! There are also numerous gratuitous scenes such as a clumsy dance by unattractive, would-be cowboys in a gay bar and a song by a singer whose off-keyed wail is so bad you will reach for the mute button. There is also an exterpolated scene with two people we have never met before who have a tender, highly erotic love scene. ("This was your first time, wasn't it?" "Yes.") But we stop wondering who these people are and just enjoy the first enjoyable thing in this movie. As to the main love stories, Justin McFarlane and Michael Harboush are engaging performers and make us care for their final declaration of love. Though it seems odd that someone who has spent from age 16 to 19 in a penile institution would have his navel and both nipples pierced and someone who is in his early twenties would be a successful attorney. But most peculiar of all is why the cute, wealthy kid played by Donald Allen wants a balding Daddy-figure. (Wealthy Daddies keep cute twinks. Wealthy twinks do not keep old Daddies.) The final annoying thing about this film is that there are no chapters so one has to fast forward to get to the "fun" scenes. The film means well which is why I gave it two stars, but the scripting, the direction, and the acting (with the notable exceptions of the three performers mentioned) is stricly amateur.

Summary: the worst
Review: This movie is possibly the worst movie ever made. The acting and dialogue are of the quality seen in an elementary school play. The background music is loud and sounds like someone is playing a tape to fill in the many empty spots. The sound is so poor that it's often difficult to make out what the actors are saying, not that it matters.In the middle of the movie, we're suddenly shown new characters who come out of nowhere, have no meaning to the movie, and are not seen again after their brief appearance. I don't always expect a lot from gay themed movies, but even the worst ones I've seen are better than this. I know nothing about movie making, but I could have done better myself. ...

Summary: Good independent production
Review: Traveling to Olympia has plenty for most people. A good story line that keeps your interest. Enough erotica that is realistic but not a huge production. I expect to see more productions from this up and coming movie producer. I enjoyed Traveling to Olympia and I think most people will too. I am looking forward to future productions.
