@Isaac C: “Slutty”? Who are you, some girl from the ’50s named Peggy-Sue? Were you shocked–just shocked!–that two gay men had sex in a movie? Apparently you live in a fantasy world of cotillions and chaperoned dances, but the rest of us are grown men. Care to join us?

@Isaac C: if this had been a straight film it would have been classed as “love at first sight”, this happens in the gay world as well, I knew after the first date with my partner that I’d found someone I wanted to be with and we’ve been together nearly 5 years and yes we got slutty on that first night as well, no drugs though, don’t do drugs!

@Isaac C: said…
“@Cam: It was a movie about being in-the-moment slutty and doing drugs. It’s a shame this passes for gay romance.”
__________________-
No, actually Isaac, it was a movie about two people not expecting or at least with one, not wanting to be in a relationship, or two fall in love continually being surprised at how close they felt and how a relationship was rising up where neither was expecting one.
About how they both changed each others lives for the better with just a brief time of knowing each other. The one reopened himself to the possibility of a loving relationship, and the other took the first steps to being more open with his best friends about who he really was and what he wanted out of life.
I’m sorry you didn’t get that out of the movie, but I thought that the overall theme was very apparent to anybody watching.

@Isaac C: what is shallow about it? millions of people go out every night of the week and pick up people in bars and clubs and have one night stands, some see that person again some don’t! personally can’t see the problem with how they met or what they got upto and certainly don’t consider it shallow!

@Isaac C:
Just like you didn’t understand the movie.
You said that the meaning may be “Deep” but they path they chose to get there was shallow.
The path is irrelevent, you stated that the movie was only about the drugs and sluttyness. I am saying that your missing the meaning because of a few plot areas, was no different than missing somebody’s beauty because they were wearing glasses or a shirt you don’t like.
You say the movie was shallow, I was merely saying that in my opnion, missing the greater meaning of the movie because of a few areas that you find upsetting is no different.

@Cam: The path is relevant to me. Sometimes it isn’t about the destination, it’s about the journey. A shallow means doesn’t justify a deep end, IMO. Besides, how realistic is it in the first place to go from such a shallow place to something deeper? I just don’t buy it.
We can agree to disagree on the merits of the film.
And I would never be so shallow to miss someone’s beauty because of an accessory like glasses or a shirt. It’s interesting that you are trying to compare that to the way I feel about the shallowness of the film, but I don’t think the comparison is apt.

@justinbeibereatsdick69: Are you f’in serious you troll? Your comment embodies everything makes dislike the gay community. You don’t find the guys hot so you dismiss the film entirely without actually watching it and seeing what they’re actually saying. That’s like summarizing a movie about the holocaust as, “Ewww, dirty, scrawny guys with bad haircuts, didn’t like it.”

A wonderful film. I found it very true to life. Clubs and Bars are still very much social hubs for gay men. That these two characters are out for a toss, no strings attached is pretty much normal behavior. The pleasure and delight is in watching how feelings develop unexpectedly between our two protagonists in such a natural and unforced way; beautifully done, acted, scripted, filmed etc. and how each is challenged and changed by the other. Love comes so unexpectedly, and sometimes just isn’t meant to be, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be savored.

FWIW, I agree with you, Isaac.

@Charles in Bloomington: The same way that moralizing douche bags like you do. The worst kind of movie goer is the one looking to find a movie that’s about their ego rather than exploring something different. i am not into drugs, but I liked the movie because it let me see people different from myself. In other words, the very fact you ask “how could … even recognize love at first sight” and the fact that this is unexpected, is the exact opposite of “boring’ You are contradicting yourself without knowing it. You found something unexpected, but that bored you. I am not buying it. Your problem with it was your fake sense of morals. Fake because there’s no real substance to it other than what you would have the world be rather than pointing out why exactly it should be that way.

“I agree with Isaac C; it was a cheap and boring movie. How would those drunken, drug-addled characters even recognize “love at first sight?””
_______________-
It wasn’t love at first site, it was “Something is growing and feels like it could be heading towards love after a weekend.”
Did anybody actually watch the movie?

@Joetx: Thanks. Some people get it, and others clearly don’t. I don’t care for the people who don’t.
@Charles in Bloomington: Egggggsactly. You’d need to have values and maturity first to do so.
This movie’s premise only makes sense to people who believe in screwing at first sight and asking questions later…going in without any standards and waiting to see what happens. In other words, being extended whores. It *just* so happens that this weekend of being druggie whores seems more promising to the immediate future. It’s aptly titled “Weekend” exactly because that’s the most they can tolerate before they have another “Weekend” next weekend with someone new.
