Video Description
Wicked humour and biting insight ignite BOY CULTURE, a sexy dramatic story about 'X' (Derek Magyar), a hustler without a heart of gold who becomes romantically entangled with his two roomates (Darryl Stephens of "Noah's Arc" and Jonathon Trent). When one of his clients (Patrick Bauchau) begins to melt X's icy interior, he discovers a secret about himself more shocking than his day job.

Synopsis
Based on the novel by Matthew Rettenmund, this award-winning film follows the exploits of a male escort named X as he finds himself getting into entanglements with his two attractive roommates, as well as an older client who teaches him that he doesn't know everything about life and love.

don't be fooled by the title or the trailer - this is a real gem of a film
Forget about "New Queer Cinema" - this is just a damn good movie about a that most human of emotions - the longing to belong. "Only connect" and all that. The fact that the protagonists are gay makes it that much more accessible to anyone who is gay, but it's so much bigger and better than that.

Over rated and disapointing
The writing is shocking, very poor and self-gratifying. It has pretentions of high-brow art but falls at the first fence. It is more like a drawn out mid 90's tv series but for the gay narrative. Could be described as a film version of a pale shadow of Queer as Folk. The relationships of the characters although offering promise are not probed adequately and consequently you never really feel any warmth to any to the characters. The directing is corntrived and pace of the characters, their thoughts and the narration is painfully slow and out of step with reality. The protagonist infuriatingly plods around the film, occasionally rattles off quotes of text but his apartment offers nothing to suggest his education.

Innovactive interplay involving interesting individuals...
Delightful and interesting interplay involving three main gay roommates and their terribly soap opera lives.... X - the hooker with a morale compass, Andrew - the beefcake, only now coming to grips with being gay and Joey - young, naive and not innocent in the slightest!

It starts with an odd premise of X trying to figure out how to proceed with the next phase in his life, and being able to share his life with another - but he wants to enter this phase on his own terms, and wants everything to go on his terms. The focus of his attentions are on one of his roommates, Andrew, who is trying to come to gay persona and loosing himself, albeit trying to hold out for X!!! The interplay is effortless, as the acotrs, though not seasoned, more through the wonderful tapestry with great ease.

Not to be outdone is charming Joey - with his speech impediment (see the movie or at least the trailer... it is amusing inside joke)!

Defo worth repeated viewings!!!
Great Xmas suffer!!!

Sexy, funny and delicious
Fun film about a male prostitute who learns the valuable lesson about real affection from one of his elderly clients - but not necessarily for the client. A whole bundle of fun to watch with witty and dialogues and voice over and some good performances all round.

Derek Magyar plays the hustler who doesn't believe in love, and isn't interested in sex unless he's being paid for it. He goes by the name of X which signifies his emotional distance to love. X shares his home with two roommates -- Andrew (Darryl Stephens whome he secretely loves and Joey (Jonathon Trent) the teenager who lusts after X. Enter Gregory (Patrick Bauchau) who hires X for companionship only, holding of sex until X is really attracted to him...

Good entertainment; and did the boy get his man? You'll have to watch and see.

Intelligent gay movie
Boy Culture actually shys away from gay stereotypes and gives us a thoughtful and compelling drama full of interesting characters, sharp humour and a reliable narrative - a real achievement in gay cinema!
