This film about a small town Gay man becoming entangled in the Circuit Party scene revels in the very thing it seems to decry. While something of an expose about the shallowness of this life and the soul-destroying involvement with steroids and drugs and outer beauty, it has its share of skin and glamour shots attracting the audience with the very thing its somewhat condemning.
The key to the film is the tearful admission by the filmmaker character toward the end of the movie that while he understands all of the negative aspects of the party scene, he is hooked. He is a party boy.
Personally I found the movie to be poignant and truthful and a reasonable presentation of both points of view. Yes, there is rampant drug abuse and yes, the scene does destroy some people, but there is a glamour to it as well that is not in and of itself harmful.
