Summary: Bisexual appeal
Review: It's not easy to find movies with bisexual main characters. "The Talented Mr. Ripley" comes to mind. And so does "No Ordinary Love". I saw it first in Mexico on Pay TV under the title "Deseos Ocultos" (Hidden Desires). What I like most about this movie is the fluid way characters go from liking a member of one sex to liking a member of the other. It is a very realistic portrayal, I think, of a large segment of the population. I also like the fact that the cast is ethnically mixed (White, Asian, Latin, Black). The filmmaker was trying to show diversity in both race and sexual preference, and I think this adds a lot to the movie's appeal. Well, not everyone is blond and blue-eyed, you know? Also, I really identified with Vince wanting to try out several personalities and "looks" before settling upon his "true" self.

Summary: Bad acting, terrible script, nice love story
Review: The poeple in the movie - sorry, can't really call them actors - are cute. And the love story between Ramon and Vince is ok (Ramon is ok, to be honest). But apart from that this movie has no saving grace. A bad script... is served by nightmare directing and editing. As for the music, well er... makes you think that the acting wasn't so bad after all... music is worse.

Summary: Bad Copy of Shallow Grave
Review: There's a wonderful little Scottish movie called Shallow Grave floating around (on DVD even, and it's quite fascinating); this movie is Shallow Grave gone bad. The plot's very much the same, but the acting here -- if you can call it acting -- is infinitely worse, and too many of the characters are not very interesting and simply unlikable. There's also nothing memorable about the filmmaking itself -- it's very inconsistent, a hodgepodge of styles that never come together in a true directorial vision. In fact, sometimes it seems all director/screenwriter Witkins is interested in are his actors pretty bodies.

Summary: Hot teen actors and crazy plot makes this no ordinary movie
Review: This film is amazing! It's full of technical flaws, especially poor editing, that disclose inexperience on the part of its makers. But surprise after surprise, it all comes together beautifully on an entertainment and emotional level.
Most of the actors are very good, but for me it was Ramon and Vince that I enjoyed most. These two are really hot, both in looks, but more important, as actors. The dream sequence and the awakening to reality by Vince is probably the most moving part of the film, wonderfully expressed by the actors and director. Also, whoever wrote the script has a real feel for human emotions.A wonderful find for me. Forget the technical and plot craziness and see it!

Summary: No redeeming quality whatsoever
Review: This film is bizarre. The plot....err wait there is no plot from my point of view. I'm not sure if the director just wanted to throw people off by creating twists that you'd never guess in a million years. But that is the problem. The twists just does not make any sense. There are sexy scenes sure but you can always get another movie with a good story and very nice scenes to boot. Rent this video to see what I mean but don't waste your money on this one.

Summary: Too Many subplots
Review: This is one of the lousiest acted gay films I've seen in a long time. It's so bad, the DVD comes with an optional "humorous commentary" track that plays with the movie. The acting seems stiff. It's deffinately a movie to laugh at, not with... It's only saving grace is the love story between Vince and Ramone. Although the acting is no different than the rest of the story, there are some moments that are pretty cool...

Summary: bizarre...
Review: This movie is definitely crazy, but it is also quite funny. Watching this story is like going on some kind of wild ride-like a roller coaster-the plot takes off and never looks back as it goes forward through all of its crazy twists and turns. The relationship between Vince and Ramon is definitely the most compelling story of all the many subplots, and it is nice to have their story all by itself in the special features section. Most of the characters are really funny: especially the very fat guy-who causes a lot of problems for Kevin-who owns the house that the fat guy is renting a room in. Another character is Wendy, who is pregnant by her bisexual boyfriend-Tom-who marries Tom's male lover-Kevin. Wendy and Kevin do this because she does not want to be a single mother and Kevin's mother is putting pressure on him to get married and have children, which he obviously is not all that keen on doing given the fact that he is gay. (Does anyone want to guess as to how this marriage does?) The last main character is Andy who is a bisexual stripper-or something like that. Kevin, Vince, Wendy, Andy, and the Fat Guy all live together in Kevin's house. Kevin has to have all these roommates so that he can pay the mortgage on the house his mom helped him buy. If you can't tell by now, this is a pretty complicated movie with many subplots, but it is very funny and I enjoyed watching it. Vince is by far the best character in this movie because he is the only one with any real depth--although with so many characters and subplots it is hard to give much depth to any one character.

Summary: the acting is the only thing that was stiff
