Brandon Teena / Teena Brandon is the lead character in this story. According to him, he has a sexual identity crisis and is really a man with female body parts. But then again, according to Brandon he also has a sister that's a model in Hollywood. He's on his way to Memphis. He's going buy a trailer park, have friends over every night for barbecue, and live in his own Air Stream trailer. What Brandon is, at least according to the screen play, is a compulsive liar who's on the run from the law for grand theft auto and likes to live his life on the edge with a group of dangerous, self destructive 90s Charlie Manson wannabes. Brandon drinks and smokes with the boys. He shows off by risking his life tailgate skiing. He seduces the girls with his feminine side. And in the end, the lies no longer hold together. Where Brandon and the movie end is no surprise; it's just too bad it took so long getting there. `Boys Don't Cry' is almost 2 hours of self-indulgent, basically bad people doing bad things to one another and themselves. Neither the situation nor the people are worth any of your time. Skip this one.
