Review of Trick

Trick (1999)
7/10
Pleasant film, with a few surprises
9 August 1999
As many people have commented, Tori Spelling gives a fun, over-the-top performance as a not-too-talented actress trying to make it in NYC. (Having never seen 90210, I must admit that I have enjoyed every other performance I've seen her give, and love her ability to laugh at herself: witness this performance and her cameo in SCREAM 2) JP Pitoc is a wonder as the go-go boy, giving an intelligent, subtle, sexy performance. I would normally find such a character uninteresting (similar to Billy's love interest in BILLY'S HOLLYWOOD etc -- yawn!), but Pitoc shows us how he takes a *real* interest in Gabe as the night progresses, and he is so comfortable in his sexuality that he sends sparks off the screen in a big way.

Not an earthshaking movie, but I had a great time. Take a date.
