Pretty Good
i must have seen a different film!!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Trick is a lighthearted film about a couple of young guys in the big city trying to navigate the gay sex scene. There is the requisite 'fag hag' played by Tori Spelling, in what is a very poor performance. Most of the other acting was on the level of low quality television comedy. The film tries hard to be fun and in that regard it succeeds only in theory, as it is wholly unable to make any of the fun moments and situation work. Tricks are supposed to be fun, but unfortunately this one was not.
Oh my gosh, I honestly didn't know 'the' Tori Spelling can actually sing and dance. She was incredible like I've never seen her doing this before. Boy , her hairstyle looked way different back then. I suppose I'm use to seeing her blond and short haired in most projects she does today. She's just so talented as an actress!The character Mark looked very gorgeous looking for a big butch guy. He was just so right for Gabriel. I can see in his eyes that he really wanted him for the rest of his life. I say he doesn't care about his job of being a go-go dancer, he just wants his man and that's that lol.I thought Christian Campbell just looked so adorable playing as his awkwardly Broadway obsessed character Gabriel. He has like such a little boys face that you just wanna squeeze him lol. Honesty like, when both guys properly kissed near the end, my heart just melt. I wish Mark didn't have to go back home and left his lover Gabriel behind.:((Also can I just add to this, wasn't Christian Campbell such an excellent singer and the best piano player ever?! Crikey, you have to see this film to see this man perform and of course, see Tori Spelling everybody :D
Always loved this movie. Not necessarily a "good" movie, but it does capture the ambiance of the gay club scene going to a place risking yourself not picking anyone going home alone then finding a hot piece on the way and getting in (memorable) trouble. Stupid rules are stupid.Incidentally, the word "defence" is correct, in spite of what your retarded spell checker may suggest.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
In the first, I'd say 20 minutes, of this film, I was not entertained much at all. It all seemed slow and almost painfully awkward when Gabriel and Mark first started their evening. However, I am glad that I didn't stop watching. It turned into a movie about more than just a one night stand. Instead it was about a one night stand turning into more.There were some very nice, touching moments in there as well as some good comedy.But I still could've done without Tori Spelling. But that's my own thing.Definiely worth the watch, you just have to get a bit into it.
