| 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.

Van Wilder : Party Liason
Movie Rating:
Dire |
|
Afraid of his future, Van (Ryan Reynolds) remains a student for
seven years, until his rich father (Tim Matheson) stops paying the fees. Van's
reputation as the ultimate slacker prompts campus journalist Gwen (Tara Reid)
to write a scathing article about him, which brings him fame as a party
planner. Suddenly in high demand, Van can afford to stay in school, but Gwen
has grown fond of him and thinks that he is not living up to his true potential.
This movie sinks to new depths of gross-out comedy with nauseating sight gags of
explosive diarrhea, projectile vomit, premature ejaculation, and uptight frat boys
devouring pastries filled with bulldog semen. With all these bodily fluids on display,
it is no wonder that this movie stinks.
