This movie gave me the creeps. As a gay man I'm tired of seeing gay men portrayed as pathetic losers. Buck is borderline retarded and probably should be in some kind of treatment facility but here he is out on the street stalking his childhood best friend who is now an adult straight male. This movie would be much more interesting done from the point of view of Chuck (the sane straight guy) rather than from Buck's twisted, pathetic point of view. It would have made the movie more interesting to see it from Chuck's mature adult POV, watch him struggling with his past and the ghost in his closet, his relationship with his fiance, with his colleagues. Buck's not that interesting. He's just another case of arrested development. He's as interesting as any 11 year old can be. I found it really hard to care about Buck because he was so annoying and what was more interesting was why the other adults allowed him to get away with so much. He did hire a director to direct his play for cash which just goes to show you that in Hollywood people will do anything for money.
