The Real Cancun (2003)
More like an MTV Special
This movie would definitely have been more appropriate as an MTV special (much of the nudity would of course need to be cut). As a film it is rather boring. I knew before watching this movie that a large portion of America's youth is obsessed with the culture of the party and the pursuit of sex. This movie does a fine job of reaffirming my belief that American, and to a certain degree western culture, is on the decline. It is not surprising how bad this film is, what is surprising is that it was made at all. I am pleased that the box office take for this film was very low, but I am not happy that with video and dvd sales it will probably be a monetary success. Let's just hope that there is never a sequel to this disaster.
Zus & zo (2001)
This is not a comedy
I saw this movie on vhs, the cover box lists the movies as "Comedy/Gay." First of all there is no such genre as "gay," in my books. That is like saying movies are "Black," "Hetero," or "Jewish." Secondly, I am of the belief that for a movie to be considered a comedy it should be funny in some way. I did not laugh once while watching this movie. I was slightly sickened by the way that the characters treated each other. The sisters are ruthlessly out to thwart their brother, while he is out to screw his sisters out of potentially inheriting their father's hotel so that he can sell it. All of these characters have shady motives and treat family and friends like dirt. Sisters who sleep with their sister's husbands, a sister who cheats on her husband (that husband also happens to throw a mother and two children with no place to go out of his home as soon as his wife is out of town). How can anyone defend this film as funny? It is mean spirited, boring and wildly maladvertised. It is a pity that films like this are directed towards a gay audience simply because it involves in part a gay character. For a movie to be marketed towards a gay audience it should have a gay theme, not simply be a movie that happens to involve in some way a gay character or two.
