| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend
ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees
and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like.
If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are
normally found at Amazon.

Stuck On You
Movie Rating: Unfunny Comedy |
|
In this ungainly blend of Hollywood satire and quirky comedy, conjoined twins
Walt (Greg Kinnear) and Bob Tenor (Matt Damon) head west so that Walt can
pursue his dreams of stardom. Producers initially slam their doors at the sight
of the pair, but success beckons when Cher handpicks Walt to be her co-star on
a new TV series.
The singer-actress hilariously sends up her diva persona, playing herself as the
ultimate narcissist; she is well-matched by Seymour Cassel as a geriatric agent
stuck in the '50s. Sadly, the movie focuses more on the brothers, and while Kinnear
and Damon are appealing, the Siamese twin jokes quickly wear thin. At nearly two hours,
the movie stretches a sitcom-length idea way past its breaking point.
