Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The first must-see film of the year.

The Queen is dead. Long live the queens.9 Dead Gay Guys is so out there, it works. The relationship between our "heroes" still needs some work, but not necessarily in a sequel. I don't think we can make it to double digits - we're dropping like flies!Two best blokes will do anything for money. Yeah. Anything. After a few "scores," they have their sights set on an even larger wad...but they'll have to go through 9 dead gay guys. (Roll credits!)Not that they kill them, well not intentionally. You definitely have to suspend your disbelief here and think of those crime-filled, smart-ass British films with flare. A ton of flare.I suspect this was a comedy and while some of it was funny, most of it was, ahhh, straight-filmmaking to me. The three Matrix Oracle Women were actually my favorite characters and made me laugh the loudest. They seemed hip to the squares behind them.I'm kind of indifferent to the stereotypes portrayed here. Nothing was really offensive and even the Matt Damon-Dwarf was game for his short-comings.Enough puns. Recommended, but not groundbreaking. Changes nothing and yet, entertained me.***Final thoughts: I wish I had a best bud like our main character had growing up. Certainly would've made things more...interesting. Maybe prepared me for...what was to come. (I never made a promise on the puns.)

I just caught this movie on the here! channel. What a waste of time. I guess it was supposed to be funny and cheeky, but I didn't find it in any way funny. The plot was so ludicrous that I found it hard to care about what was going on. The "zaniness" of the characters and story was so forced that it came across as just plain dumb. And the endless music samples were thoroughly annoying! The leads were kind of endearing, and they could have made something interesting out of their friendship and their uncertain sexuality, but the makers of the film went for the Guy-Ritchie wannabe crap instead. Yet another really bad indie gay movie.

This picture generally works for what it is, a rather silly dirty joke pleasantly pulled off by the well-played leads on an eccentric cast of Felliniesque gays. The assortment of grotesques give it enough sparkle to keep it amusing for 82 minutes, and a couple of the bits are first-rate crude. This seedy British comedy certainly wins out over the stupid frat-boy comedies that glut the American movie market trying to give out the same dose of offensive humor. It amazes me that some reviewers used the stupid term "politically incorrect" when making their analysis of such a harmless, rather cartoonish sex comedy like this one. The Iron Lady bits were the best and the colorist did a notably terrific job with the saturated look of the picture.

Nine Dead Gay Guys - the title says it all. You can tell from the title that the film is going to be irreverent and humorous. It is. I literally smiled through the entire 85-or-so minutes of this outrageously ballsy offering from first-time director Ky Mo Lab. Raymond Griffiths pretty much steals the show as "the desperate dwarf" (for some reason he kept reminding me of Val Kilmer), although everyone involved definitely pulls their weight. Looking forward to the next one to emerge from the Lab.
