Review of Trick

Trick (1999)
8/10
Great Gay Romantic Comedy
23 March 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Jim Falls applies the mainstream Hollywood romantic comedy genre to a gay situation and the results are delightful. The film is a breath of fresh air and in some respects groundbreaking because it shows us that stories are stories and people are people no matter what their sexual orientation. The film traces a few hours in the lives of a couple of young men who meet and are attracted to one another but can't find a place to be alone and have sex. In the process of a few episodic situations, they actually get to know one another.

Some day maybe this will be trite stuff, but based on prejudicial attitudes that exist in society today, it's a fairly important film. The drag queen in the restroom scene is priceless. And those cute ears on J.P. Pitoc!
