Although I enjoyed Noah's Arc on LOGO- (Spearman and Stephens) that was low budget cable TV -this is film, which is supposed to be a step above cable TV.The premise is cute and does have a different twist than a typical boy- meets-boy gay film which I admire but doesn't deliver. It's kind of like watching a reject episode of a gay Charlie's Angles. It's campy but it doesn't mean to be campy -that is the rub and why it fails.I'm all for gay film and when I lived in L.A., I used to got to a lot of indie film screenings but this one misses the mark. I give it an A for effort but it still feels very low budge....

The movie was great ! It had a lot of suspense , as well as irony . The guys are very good looking . In fact one reminded me of a prince !! I also loved the mother in the film , she was hilarious !my most fav was when the mother walks in while her son and his date were in bed wanting a Xanex .. I laughed so hard !! Also I think the professor may have had some gay tendencies especially at the end of the movie . One of the cool things about this movie is that gives you a snap shot of being gay and a starving actor . I can appreciate that . For example , working in a restaurant . I like the relationship with Danny and Pip . Even though they are not together they always have each other's back . Twice in a peralis moments they professed their love to one another , but never acted on it . I would recommend this movie !

"Hot Guys With Guns" is a must see movie. From the title I didn't really know what to expect. The first 5 minutes of watching this film you will get hooked. I've never seen a film that made me laugh one minute, and then had me at the edge of my seat trying to solve the mystery. Not only was I at the edge of my seat, but my wife was too. She was even talking to the screen as she was unsuccessfully trying to figure out the mystery. I have to say Doug Spearman did a wonderful job directing and writing this film. Mr. Spearman captured the true essence of Los Angeles with a twist. If you're looking for a great date night movie look no further. Oh!!! Did I forget to mention how beautiful the cast was? Especially Marc Anthony Samuel. I loved his character Danny.

I saw this at the Palm Springs Gay Film Festival (aka Cinema Diverse) and I'm giving this an 8 because it was a refreshing departure from the usual paint-by-the-numbers gay film. Better still, it doesn't try to be a gay police procedural, as the lead characters are not cops, detectives or PIs. Marc Anthony Samuel as Danny Lohman carries most of the film as an action hero actor wannabe who's taking a night course in how to be a PI. It's impossible to understand what he sees in his smarmy boyfriend Pip Armstrong (played woodenly by Brian McArdle). Jimmy Peppicelli is the ex-PI teaching the class, brilliantly played by Alan Blumenfeld. It's a decent whodunit, although I figured it out too early. Like so many of these low budget, first time films, it gets bogged down with too many characters and pointless detours from the main story. For example, too much time is wasted on Armstrong's unfunny mother and Lohman's day job as a waiter. A its best, it's a light, frothy gay date film to enjoy with a big bowl of popcorn. But if you want to see a much better made gay detective thriller, check out one of the Donald Strachey films starring Chad Allen.
