This was another disappointment...I'm not sure who thought this was a story that needed to be told, but whoever did might need to learn that you first need to have a story before you can tell it. There is no character development at all, no romance and no human interest. It is about two gay guys who want to make a gay movie. The first part of this 'movie' are them interviewing several wannabe actors, the second part is them showing the filming/production of the movie. The final part is the producer meeting with the review board as to what rating the movie will be given; and becoming unhappy with their rating of the movie. Yeah, that's it. We don't really learn anything about any character and there are no subplots. There are a couple of hints that one of the stagehands might be attracted to one of the actors, but it is never mention and never explored - they should have, that might have been interesting. I don't think anything I wrote counts as a spoiler, I don't think you can spoil something that has neither a plot nor an ending. (Also called Censored Dreams)
