Summary: Nice change of pace. Excellant !
Review: This film was well made and totally enjoyable. It was nice to find a movie that is not a coming out story and not very dark. It was light, romantic and a pleasure to watch. It shows a story about how GETTING SOME turns to GETTING TO KNOW YOU and gets better from there. This film was sexy but in a tasteful way and the two primary actors did an excellant job. I strongly suggest adding this film to your collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: cute and clean
Review: I just saw this movie last night and I have to say that I love it. It is actually nice to see a movie about homosexuals that dosn't include sex. This movie shows emotion and how to men can have a loving relationship without going to bed the first time out. No wonder people are so anti gay. There needs to be more movies like this. Some language but that's okay.Other than that the movie is just perfect. Showing two characters who meet and in one night of TALKING fell in love. Well done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Lesson To Learn
Review: Let me just start off by saying that I don't know whether to love this movie or hate it. Maybe it's because I'm stuck here and I used to live in New York City, and it just so happens that the film "Trick" takes place in New York City. I used to take that subway train...the number 1 or 9 train on Christopher St., right near that pharmacy store. I can identify almost all of the locations you'll see in this film because I've been in all of those places. Watching this film just makes me want to get a plane ticket and go back to the city.

Enough of nostalgia. This is a very romantic, funny film that is both romantic and touching. Impossibly straight people will most probably not appreciate this film, but open minded straight people might learn a thing or two from "Trick".

This is a story that takes place in 24 hours (I think). This is about two gay men trying to find a place to just you know, do it. But every single time they seem to have found one, something just happens. They end up going to gay bars, diners, discos...and falling victim to Tori Spelling's character's antics. In the process, these two guys (Christian Campbell...what a dish) fall in love and end up having something more substantial than a one-night stand...which is what they were supposed to have in the first place.

And this is a dilemna that faces a lot of gay people. A lot of them are on a desperate search for real love, something that has a lot of substance. It isn't that easy, though. They go on searches on personals and chatrooms, and go to gay bars hoping that they'll find THE one, and they end up having one-night stands. This film just gives us the lesson that love- and I'm not talking about gay or straight here- will come to you but it has to take a certain process. And this film just captures that perfectly, which is why I love this film.

Christian Campbell delivers his role so convincingly as the bored musical writer who goes out one night for a night's adventure. Tori Spelling is downright funny. The musical score is just so touching...the perfect icing on the cake. And the love theme from "Trick" by Valerie Pinkston, "Trick of Fate", is one of my favorite songs, even if I'm a pure goth rock fan.

Someone give me this DVD please!!

Summary: Funny, nice movie!
Review: It was a nice fun movie, not great but okay. I think the one who play Gabriel act good, Tori Spelling as her best friend is funny and annoying but I guess that was part of her role so then she act very good. At first I didn't like the go-go boy Mark, I found boring and didn't seem to care about anything but after he seem nice and to like Gabriel. The Drag Queen look a lot like Tori Spelling, I don't know if it's was in purpose? She well he was very funny and act good. Overall this movie is fun to watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Charming movie!
Review: Any person who could not relate to the people or situations in this movie has to be lacking a soul!

As a musician, I've accompanied several (too many!) singers with temperaments and voices like Tori Spelling. I don't know who had more fun when she was singing: me (remembering some of the BAD singers I've accompanied!), or my friends who were watching me cringe!

Altogether a thoroughly charming movie!

Summary: Three into two won't go
Review: A treat.

A one-night-stand turns to old-fashioned romance before the first kiss is even planted in this charming comedy from first-time feature director Jim Fall.

Gabriel (Christian Campbell, Neve's brother) is a struggling musical-theater songwriter who gets a rare shot at fulfilling a fantasy. On the way home from an early evening at a gay bar, Gabe allows himself to be picked-up by Mark (The drop-dead gorgeous John Paul Pitoc), the hunky go-go boy Gabe noticed earlier, bumping and grinding a thong full of twenty-dollar bills at the club.

But the pick-up is the easy part: When the two get back to Gabe's cramped, one-room apartment, they find Gabe's best friend Katherine (Tori Spelling) -- an aspiring actress with a big mouth, a small part in an all-female production of Salome set in a women's penitentiary, and no boundaries -- has let herself in to print endless copies of her resume on Gabe's computer. Once the boys get rid of her -- and most of their clothes -- Gabe's oversexed roommate (Brad Beyer) and his ditzy girlfriend (Lorri Bagley) show up two hours ahead of schedule.

So it's out into the streets for a desperate night-long search for a trysting place, a quest that allows Gabe and Mark to discover different sides of NYC's gay nightlife and, ultimately, each other.

At a time when it seems the very bottom of the gay romantic-comedy barrel has been scraped clean, Fall's film is an unexpected pleasure: Smart, funny and complete with winning performances, piquant dialogue and something intelligent to say about promiscuity and dating in the late '90s. Campbell makes for an irresistible hero, and Spelling, who gets to sing and tap-dance, is something of a revelation. She may have found her niche, playing to an audience susceptible to her considerable camp appeal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Enter You...."
Review: Great movie to watch when i'm feeling lonely or bored...Christian Campbell is just so cute & adorable.. Just wish he was gay in real life though but his not....There's no over-reacting from all the characters but i think Tori Spelling is kind of funny the way she sings..Really out-of-tune and a really bad singer!!!..I laugh everytime when it came to that part of her singing "Enter you...." and when she was annoyed by that stupid dog "Trixie" which spoilt the show where Gabe's getting on with Mark around the piano..It just can't stop barking!! Damn u Trixie!!!...Anyway, this movie is fun to watch..I can't tell how many time i've spend watching over it...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: so cute and funny also
Review: Great movie...perfect for a date. And that Pitoc guy is so charming with that smile of his. Funny from beginning to end.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Another (bad) gay film made for straight people
Review: I debated for a long time whether or not to buy this film and having just watched it I am sorely sorry that I did. This film is littered with all the worst gay stereotypes imaginable. The main character (who looks about 12) writes, wait for it... musicals! And that's only the start. There's the fey older friend, the over-sexed straight roommate, the ubiquitous drag queen, and the straight female best friend. Why do Americans seem to think that every gay man has a heterosexual woman as a best mate? Tori Spelling's character is so obnoxious as to be unbelievable. I failed to see how anyone would want this sad woman as a friend. And listening to her belt out show tunes nearly made my ears bleed. The only other main female character is the roommate's girlfriend who seems to be on helium yet speaks like a Rhodes Scholar. She also spends most of her screen time with her breasts exposed. Which leads me to believe that this is yet another gay film whose intended audience is hetero men. But if the writer was trying to get them to accept homosexuality, using all the most base stereotypes certainly won't help. This film is sappy, insipid, poorly written and poorly acted. Please don't waste your money buying this drivel. After watching it my copy went straight in the bin.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charming, funny and warm
Review: This is a true gay romantic comedy. The characters are well thought out and wonderfully acted. It is romantic and humorous in all the right places. Campbell and Pitoc are great in the lead roles. Tori Spelling follows up her hillarious turn in The House of Yes as the bitter, neurotic, straight girl/best friend. Yes, there are some stereotypes, but none is depicted in a mean or lampoonish way. It starts about sex, but it's all about romance. Very refreshing in that respect.
