the... biggest part showing in the film. At least, the biggest body part showing in a Gstring, flopping around, distracting completely from any acting going on in the film. Whew.

Along the way, of course, the boys learn a lot about life, including that Muffler (Ashlie Atkinson) is wise beyond her years and can turn the entire cheerleading squad gay in about the time it takes to lick a postage stamp.

It was actually the difficulty in getting distribution for Gypsy 83 that sparked the creation of Another Gay Movie.

"After the relative success of Edge of Seventeen, I had loads of trouble getting my next film out into the world," Stephens says in the director's statement. "Despite the fact that festival audiences seemed warm to our little movie, distributors said they didn't know what the movie poster was (who knew a gay, Goth, fag hag, Stevie Nicks road movie would be such a tough sell?). They also said the film wasn't 'gay enough.'

"They want something gay?" he continued. "Let's make the gayest film ever made!"

He and boyfriend Tim Kaltenecker wrote the script, throwing political correctness and worries about censorship out the window.

plished for a 24-year-old, displays a vulnerability in this film that is surprising, especially when contrasted against the diamondhard edge she gets at points in the movie. She is the first to realize that Dot herself has a secret, and she plays on it for much of the rest of the film.

As Dot, Belle is a fascinating study in inertia. She reacts to nothing, she is in her own world (as she wants it to be) but everyone around her keeps dragging her into their

"Thankfully, George W. Bush proved to be a huge inspiration," Stephens noted. "Completely disgusted with the right wing agenda and FCC crackdowns, I decided I wanted to really shake things up. I popped my hero John Waters' Female Trouble in for inspiration and vowed to flip censorship the bird."

Here is the result, a movie almost guaranteed to be despised by most critics, because critics tend to want high-brow fare.

Were this film any more low-brow, it would probably need a bikini wax. It's a silly, goofy, often vapid, occasionally completely brain-dead film, and someone should take Todd Stephens over their knee for writing and directing it.

Now go see it. Another Gay Movie is the perfect remedy for tender-coming-of-age overdose, a panacea for giving-in-to-lovewhen-it's-too-late-itis.

Brokeback Mountain had a miserable ending, Transamerica was a serious film, despite the humor, and Capote, well, was about Truman Capote. This year, it's time for some fluff, and Todd Stephens is giving audiences enough fluff to sink a cotton candy tanker.

Another Gay Movie is now open at the Cedar Lee in Cleveland Heights and opens September 8 at the Drexel Gateway in Columbus. There is no word on whether it will hit the Esquire or Mariemont in Cincinnati or the New Neon in Dayton or the Cinematheque in Maumee.

worlds. When she finally breaks loose of her psychological lethargy, the effects are sudden and Belle's performance all the way through is perfect.

Falco and Donovan get the least praise, not because they don't deserve accolades, but because they're both known well enough that it doesn't really need to be mentioned. Nobody ever writes a review and says, "Edie Falco sucked in this role. She really should learn how to act."

Babbit, her writers and the cast put together a fascinating film that might just give new meaning to the scatological term “silent but deadly."
