Review of Mulligans (2008) by Budi G — 19 May 2009
For me this movie is the perfect Sunday movie. To describe/review this movie in detail is difficult. It's better in terms of quality than most of the recent American gay indie (Shelter, Kiss the bride etc).
However this movie falls into a "grey" area and I can see why gay activists will loathe this movie. The story, although highly unlikely that it will happen in real life (Western countries), it's still a possibilty (probably much greater in Asia since gay men are still being forced into marriage to produce children).
The pros of this movie: It takes a lot of guts to make this kind of movie (I've never seen one with this kind of topic). I like the ending, it's realistic. The movie doesn't look/feel cheap due to the beautiful backdrop(Vancouver island).
The AMAZING SOUNDTRACK....I will get my hands of Ben Sigston's CD. The cast is mesmerizing esp. Dan Payne...the cons: they should hire some other actor to play the role of Chase. It's a guilty pleasure (DILF fantasy film), this movie is for gay audience only.
I won't show it to any of my girlfriends....anyway it is good that all characters are full of humanity and love...if it happens in real life it will be a total mess. Overall it's an enjoyable movie.
Think of it as a Lifetime movie for gay men. PS: judging is not loving....I just want to say that. :p.
