"West Hollywood Stories"
A Gay Soap Opera
Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
"West Hollywood Stories" has no pretenses. It does not claim to be a great movie or even a good one. It was meant to be nothing more than light entertainment and that is exactly what it is. If you are expecting high drama, good acting, a sensible script, etc, this is not the movie for you. It is simply fluff and nothing more. Nothing is as bad as what you can watch on the daytime TV soaps and even though the actors are not good, neither are they bad. They are good looking and that is something in itself.
This gay soap opera is a peek--and quite a tantalizing one--at gay life. WeHo Manor is populated with hunky men, good doctors, a pair of evil twins, maids who work naked and cross dressing nuns. They are bitchy and twisted and sick but fabulously so. There is Doug Stevenson, a selfless volunteer at a clinic who is also a gossip columnist who does what he can to get a scoop. In residence also is Tony Rios, a popular soap opera with a sordid porno past. The manager of the complex like his maids to be male, hunky and nude and his special housekeeper, Juan, anxiously anticipates a major fight between himself and his soon to be ex-lover, Vic, the handyman at WeHo. Chance Carnegie has just been thrown out of his house by his father, an ultra-right wing follower and has wound up with a pair of homeless teens, Liza and Elvis. Trevor Turner lives in a semi-closet as he maintains an unethical law practice and cannot accept that the only people at his law firm that get promoted are those that are married and have children. Finally, there is Dr. Jerry who is the mainstay of the neighborhood who has no idea that his lover, Ernie, is a recovering drug addict.
Put all these guys together under one roof and the fun follows. Just as any soap opera there is something for everyone and although almost everything about this ragout of a movie is bad when together and watched tongue in cheek, it is fun. Sure you will groan at the bad acting and lousy script but you will be looking at the beautiful men while you do so. It's nothing more than fun even if it is awful.
Summary of West Hollywood Stories, Vol. 1
A colorfully cheesy and totally tacky fun-fest for lovers of the soaps and everyone who loves a little camp. San Francisco in the 1970's had Tales of the City and now 1999s West Hollywood has their own queer soap opera with this funny sexy soaper which centers on the on-going antics of the assorted queer residents of a WeHo apartment house. There are handsome hunks evil docs a bitchy gossip columnist an elder but still randy old queen (think Quentin Crisp on Viagra) and even a nude Latino servant. They -- gay lesbian and straight -- are all caught up in the sexual turmoil and sexual chaos of the place.System Requirements:Run Time: 90 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?NR UPC:?631008052397 Manufacturer No:?CQC523Comedy DVD Video
