Rating: 1 stars
Summary: VERY poorly produced and acted.
Review: This movie has nothing to recommend it. It is poorly written, acted, filmed and edited. It looks like something made by a film class student or home video enthusiast. PLEASE do not waste your money. If you must see it, find a way to see it for free.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't Bother
Review: Ryan, a twenty-something aspiring screenwriter is in a rather complacent long-term relationship with Joel. They share a bed and an apartment, but not much else. When Ryan meets Leo, a young college student, at a party, they feel an immediate spark in many shared common interests. Just before his anniversary with Joel, Ryan impulsively leaves his lover of three years for a chance at true love with Leo. And then, we back up and Ryan decides to stay with Joel and work through their problems. Then we back up again and see things from yet another perspective.

The concept of the movie is that we get to see Ryan choices, and the consequences of those decisions, played out before our eyes. The reality is you don't really care what happens the first time, let alone the second or third time around.

In the extremely poorly filmed commentary, Quentin Lee, the director, reveals that he never originally intended to turn his screenplay based on a very personal experience into a movie. Then, it seems he received a grant to make the screenplay into a film and he just couldn't resist the opportunity. Good for him, unfortunate for the rest of us. The film's premise has promise, but the movie itself just never lives up to it. Poorly filmed, poorly edited, and poorly acted, it feels more like a student film than something that was made to be distributed. Don't bother. Not Recommended.

Summary: Bad Porn Acting
Review: This movie is HORRIBLE. It looks like they took a porn writer, and porn actors and thew them into a room with a low budget PBS director.

The acting was BAD, the script was BAD, and the camera action made me SICK.

ON top of it all they used the word Visceral in EVERY OTHER sentence!

DO NOT waste your time on this movie!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible - badly acted, uninteresting characters
Review: I felt cheated after seeing this film. I had the poor judgement to order this film on DVD without having seen it or speaking to people that have seen it. My mistake - won't happen again! I did get a good laugh from some of the worst performances ever to bbe caught on film. THis feels much like something a first year film student would produce (and not one of the better students).

Probably the biggest drawback, aside from the poor acting, is that the major characters simply lack sufficient charisma to get and hold your attention. The dialog is Ok, but my recommendation is : Don't bother - there are many better gay interest titles available.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Movie Ever Made
Review: Drift is the single worst movie that has ever been made. The script is boring and pointless. I have never found characters in a movie this uninteresting. The acting is terrible. The dialogue is choppy and comes across like someone reading a passage in a High School English class. To add insult to injury, none of the guys in the movie are attractive in the least. This is one movie that should never have been made. The movie literally has nothing going for it. Buy it only if you are purchasing it as a gift for your worst enemy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stupid, amateurish, booooooring
Review: The characters are goofy, the action is dull. To one character, everything is "romantic", then "erotic", then "visceral". His partner claims he wants badly to understand his visceral mate, but is more interested in cooking and reading.

This film is the among the worst I've seen. The point of the story is that things turn out differently depending on circumstances and decisions. Duh. By the film's closing scenes, when two characters are talking yet again about unusual modes of death and suicide, I urged them, "Just do it!"

P.S. Try not to laugh when the visceral dude explains to his straight best friend how erotic/romantic the savage rape scene in a horror movie was... or then asks the friend to sleep with him. (OK, that *would* have been interesting, but it goes nowhere.)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The film did not do much for me.
Review: I do respect the fact that someone likes to make an emotional film on the life of young men having feelings for other young men. There are so many stories that need to be told to help others to understand. This film is quite realistic in how people play upon others so mean and hateful. That kind of short friendship is really hurtful and not what I like. The dialogue in his film is realistic and hey, what a nice gay boss he had. The film did not do much for me, probably because of my own lonliness and hurt at the time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Erotic Cover
Review: Half-DOGMA, half David Lynch, this clever and dreamlike erotic drama had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it would turn out. The most original and intelligent gay film I've ever seen.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the worst gay films ever
Review: Dear WWW.Amazon.Com,
Do the world of gay cinema a favor and stop selling this awful film. Heaven knows there are few gay films to begin with and this piece of dreck gives all of us a black eye.
I found this film to be without any redeeming qualities,the acting is,to quote another reviewer,"cringe inducing,"the actors are neither attractive nor sexy and the script is shallow and cliche driven.As for the other qualities of film,cinematography,art direction,make-up,wardrobe,etc.,they are nonexistant.
One of the single worst films I have ever seen."Plan Nine from Outer Space" looks like Academy Award material by comparison,it at least has the camp quotient on its side

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DRIFT is the key word here.....zzzzzzzzzzz
Review: I've never written one of these reviews before, but this DVD was so bad, I had to do something to keep me awake. After really looking forward to receiving my Amazon package (as always!) this movie was a real disappointment. There are a few scenes where one can relate, but trust me, there are very few. At the opening, I thought I was watching a DVD of a videotaped scene, but the entire film was poorly shot, cast, and edited. Not to mention, the forced acting made me feel bad that the "actors" had to go through all of the agony of making this film. So, everybody's a critic, but if you enjoy watching films while drifting in and out of sleep, drifting in and out of the kitchen, or even drifting in and out of your neighborhood, this film's for you. Otherwise, invest your money in something more meaningful like "Big Eden".
