USA, 2001.  Modern Artists, Envision Management, Gallant Entertainment.  Story by Michael O. Gallant, Jason Stuart.  Produced by Robert Bonet, Michael O. Gallant, Jason Stuart. Podcast:  Bad Gay Movies.  

Painful romantic comedy effort shot on unappealingly bland video, about a frustrated man (writer/producer Jason Stuart) looking for love after he catches his boyfriend with a hustler. Told that he needs to go on ten dates before finding the man of his dreams, he hits the internet and answers personal ads in search of his Romeo. Sadly, it’s all been done before, with much better dialogue and sturdier direction; most of it feels like a home movie, but a home movie with people you don’t know and therefore won’t enjoy watching. At this point, gay movies about bitter West Hollywood intellectuals going on a round-robin of dates with quirky weirdos should be listed as a genre in themselves.
