Summary: A Great movie to See, Trust Me
Review: This movie is just terrific. I loved it so much. My loving it was a big surprise, because of what it is about and by the fact that I am straight. I saw this movie when I caught it on cable. This movie is witty and smart. The acting is phenomenal, and the story is good also. This movie is about a man that rent's Citizen Kane, but get's Citizen Cum. Citizen Cum features a young, good looking attractive man named Johnny Rebel. This man becomes obsessed with Johnny and ends up becoming his fluffer. Later you find out Johnny is not even gay, he is straight and doing gay porn for pay, and you end up wondering why anyone would be attracted to Johnny. This movie is great, and trust me, the acting is great, especially from Michael Cunio and Scott Gurney. Scott is definately great as Johnny Rebel. His looks are great also. My self-esteem and confidence droped by 100% when he came on the screen. Watch this, it is great. EDWIN MONTANEZ

Review: This movie will take the "glamour" out of the idea that gay movies are a lot of fun....
You see the real behind the camera action or lack of it.
A wake up call to those that think that gay movies are all fun and sex.

Review: This was one of the worst movies i think i have seen in a long time. There were no redeeming qualities about any of the characters, no matter how good looking... The plot was really weak, leaving you with a feeling of caring less what happened to any of the characters. If i could get a refund on this movie I would!!! Don

Summary: The cover guy makes this look like trash.
Review: Turns out it is interesting, well-acted, has complicated and moving characters, and is really well-done overall. Truly, I was surprised.
It's not Oscar-material, but Scott Gurney is a perfect self-centered opportunist who can't get enough of whatever pleases him at the moment. Turns out once in awhile he wants Sean, a young employee in the "industry" who can get him "ready" to do his "job." Sean knows what Scott is about, but can't help himself, and neither can Scott's girlfriend or the producers of the porn Scott "Mikey" does.
Don't expect torrid sex or a fairy-tale ending, but the story is an authentic look at unrequited love and the depths to which we will go, against all odds, to see if our love can be returned, even by someone who is incapable.
It's worth looking at. Recommended.

Summary: Stranger in Paradise
Review: Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer's "The Fluffer" is an earnest, honest and humane attempt at exposing the Gay Porno scene through the eyes of a young gay man Sean (Michael Cunio), new to Hollywood who falls in love with a gay porno star after he rents a movie he thinks is "Citizen Kane" that turns out to be a gay porno starring Johnny Rebel (Scott Gurney).
(When the obviously oblivious Sean brings what he thinks is CK to the check out counter, the clerk winks and says: "Doing the Classics tonight, huh?) Sean proceeds to apply and get a job at Janus Films, maker of all of Johnny Rebel's films,as a cameraman and thus sets the film and his infatuation in full motion.
Westmoreland/Glatzer have the sense to steal from some of the best movies: isn't Sean really a palliative for the Phillip Seymour Hoffman character in "Boogie Nights," who is as over-the-top and overwrought in love with Dirk Diggler as Sean is laid back and introspective about his feelings for Johnny Rebel? And it's much harder for Sean to stay cool about Johnny in that, not only is he a cameraman he's also Johnny's designated "Fluffer."
There are some heavy-handed, though earnest attempts to delve into the psyches of Sean as well as Johnny but most of this falls flat as it merely upsets the equilibrium of the film: is this a psychological study or a light comedy? It is possible to be both, but the transitions need to be handled with more aplomb than they are here to be be meaningful and effective.
The final scenes of the film are a hoot though, with blatant references to Tennessee Williams' "Sweet Bird of Youth" with Sean standing in for Paul Newman and Johnny for Geraldine Page as Sean consoles Johnny in a cheap motel in Mexico. That scene also cannily references Michelangelo's Pieta!
They probably bite off more than they can chew in "The Fluffer," but Westmoreland/Glacker show a real sense of style, grace and directorial know-how; especially difficult with the obvious constaints of a small budget. Look for these two to do great things in the future.

Summary: Not a porn film but a serious romantic drama.
Review: Well firstly, the "obvious" comparison with "Boogie Nights" is not particularly appropriate. Whilst "Boogie Nights" weakens and ultimately fails when moving away from the world of the "skin flicks" environment, "The Fluffer" goes from strength to strength in its characterisations and story focus of the three principal subjects. In this writer's opinion, the movie bears a more appropriate and favourable comparison with "The Player" in terms of its production values, storyline and direction. Where "The Fluffer" wins hands down is in its somewhat more mature and balanced examination of not dissimilar subject matter and importantly the effects which "Hollywood lifestyle" can have on its various characters. In many ways these two excellent films are two sides of the same coin. For a "low budget" film, the production values are exceptionally high. The intelligent script, sets and casting are at all times on the button. The quality performances of the principal and supporting actors are always and without exception utterly believable and the direction shows an understanding and style sadly lacking in most mainstream movies. Sean Gurney, irresistible, a delight on the eye throughout the film, provides the lynchpin of the movie. A modern day Mitchum, his "presence" and credible persona engenders the very difficult role upon which the parts of Michael Cunio and Roxanne Day and their main stories depend. Whilst Sean Gurney provides a driven, handsome, conceited "player" who generates our compassion whilst simultaneously rejecting it, Michael Cunio, he of the innocent eyes, plays a naive and vulnerable graduate from film school with all the eagerness inherent in the part, and Roxanne Day plays the long suffering girlfriend/lapdancer who wants the cottage and white picket fence which their lifestyles deny them As an added bonus, were one needed, there are more "celebrity" cameos than in any other film since "Around The World In Eighty Days" and copious homage to some of the great directors of all time. Sadly the DVD is not anamorphically enhanced for modern widescreen TVs. Question, is it "just" Hollywood or the porn environment or haven't we all "fluffed" someone in our business or personal lives to achieve something we want?
