Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Irishchatter Oh my gosh, I honestly didn't know 'the' Tori Spelling can actually sing and dance. She was incredible like I've never seen her doing this before. Boy , her hairstyle looked way different back then. I suppose I'm use to seeing her blond and short haired in most projects she does today. She's just so talented as an actress!The character Mark looked very gorgeous looking for a big butch guy. He was just so right for Gabriel. I can see in his eyes that he really wanted him for the rest of his life. I say he doesn't care about his job of being a go-go dancer, he just wants his man and that's that lol.I thought Christian Campbell just looked so adorable playing as his awkwardly Broadway obsessed character Gabriel. He has like such a little boys face that you just wanna squeeze him lol. Honesty like, when both guys properly kissed near the end, my heart just melt. I wish Mark didn't have to go back home and left his lover Gabriel behind.:((Also can I just add to this, wasn't Christian Campbell such an excellent singer and the best piano player ever?! Crikey, you have to see this film to see this man perform and of course, see Tori Spelling everybody :D

mark.waltz Sweet office boy Gabriel (Christian Campbell), a wannabe Broadway musical writer, is forced to spend a night out on the town when his selfish straight roommate keeps monopolizing the apartment for flings while his girlfriend is out of town, and ends up meeting the handsome Mark (John Paul Pitoc), a quietly charming dancer who entices him for a fling. The only problem is neither of them have a place to go, and when they do manage to find time alone in Gabriel's apartment, they are interrupted by his comically neurotic friend (Tori Spelling) and later the girlfriend of the roommate. So while trying to find a place to successfully do what the boys do, they find they share more than just a desire for sex, being tricked by fate (as the theme song reveals) as they possibly head for more than just being each other's "tricks" (a slang term for pick-up).Taking another gay tale of the naked city, "Trick" ends up being a sweet and likable romantic comedy, taking the viewer into the nightclubs of Chelsea, an Off-Off Broadway theater, a piano bar, a late-night village diner, and finally to the corner of 7th Avenue and Christopher Street as the two new acquaintances part. "What kind of a girl do you think I am?", the confidently macho Mark asks when Gabriel inquires about their initial plan for sex. Along the way, there's a visit with Gabriel's older effeminate friend (Steve Hayes), who sings a dirty song in Spanish, a truly hysterical intentionally bad performance from Spelling as she sings one of Gabriel's songs at a musical theater workshop, and views of various types of gay and lesbian characters, some naughty, some nasty, a few nice, yet all identifiable to anyone who has ever ventured into a metropolis gay ghetto. Campbell and Pitoc share a sweet chemistry that has you really rooting for them, and you will laugh until you cry at the obnoxiously over-demanding character that Spelling plays. There's also a fabulous cameo by Miss Coco Peru who is not afraid of allowing the camera to get a little too close to her face to parody the drag queen image which only serves to show that there's more beyond her than what you see on screen.As far as this one's place in the over-emergence of gay cinema in the 1990's, it certainly is one of the more interesting, because it really explores the desire to find love while de-emphasizing the physical nature of the stereotypical sexually needy gay male. Even its title is a metaphor, the first impression being that it is all about the pick-up, then raising that flag in the viewer's head that indeed, it was about something else all the time.

bkoganbing Trick is a story of a late 20 something gay kid played by Christian Campbell who has been going through a breakup and after a bit of a drought is not having any success. Right now he'd settle for a one night stand of hot passion.Especially after seeing J.P. Pitoc up on the stage of that gay bar doing the bumps and grinds, it's the man of his dreams. Fate is seemingly kind to him when he leaves the bar and he winds up on the same train as the object of his affection. Pitoc gets off at the same stop, eye contact is met and it's off to Campbell's place.Which he shares with his straight roommate Brad Beyer and has a female friend played by Tori Spelling who just bounces in whenever she needs to use or borrow something. When they go to Pitoc's world, Campbell is a bit put off by the partying world of the go-go boys. Will they ever get down to the slap and tickle?Despite the emphasis on sex and one night stands, Trick is really a delightful romantic comedy with a gay twist. Tori Spelling by dint of her name recognition from 90210 is top billed though she's really in a supporting role. She's very funny in the role of the gay man's best straight woman friend who really wants to dominate the lives of the gay people around her. Also a bit sad.Both Christian Campbell and J.P. Pitoc have gone on to some substantial careers on the big screen, small screen, and on stage. Pitoc made his film debut here in Trick. Both of them are cast well and I do love the eternal theme of the film that people can be quite a bit deeper than original impressions may make.

jtphoenixga This is the coolest 'Love At First Sight' gay movie with a plot out there in the world. This movie is the best. Christian Campbell and JP Pitoc did a excellent, excellent job in this movie. The portrayal of the cute nerdy guy that doesn't work out (much) meeting the sexy hot go-go boy was superb. Tori Spelling did a good job too with the singing and dancing to Christian's character piano playing. The funniest part of the movie was the roommate Rich, played by Brad Beyer. He was the roommate from HELL. This movie was filled with some common things that normally happens when a guy tries to pick up another guy from a club or bar and these guys portrayed it well. I loved the cameo of Joey Dedio (Captain Planet) in this movie also. All-in-all the movie gets TWO thumbs up from me.
