The streets and bars of San Francisco’s famous Castro district comes alive in the colorful, fast-paced, affectionate and often funny insider’s look at life and love among a diverse group of out and proud gay men. This group of attractive twenty-somethings, goes through the trials and tribulations of getting lucky and finding love in the world’s gay mecca. A light, fun, eye-candy romp.

Summary: bad,bad,bad
Comment: this movie was a real bomb. tired men with tired one liners that have been said a thousand times.the queens were obnoxious and the others just plain boring.no real plot going on. I've seen alot of gay movies thanks to netflix and this was one of the worst.

Summary: Gay Train Wreck
Comment: Add this to the pile of navel-gazing "gay circle of friends" romantic comedies---it's astounding how many of these get made, as though the same people who make them forget that six or seven of them play the Gay film festivals every year, all following the same template and none much better than the others. The idea of trying to sit through all of "Gypsy Boys" is far funnier than anything actually in the movie---it's hard to decide whether to laugh or die of embarrassment at the stilted dialogue, lame attempts at "queeny" humor, dreadful acting, and the unsexiest love scenes ever captured on camera. Hopefully gay "filmmakers" will get over the mindset that throwing what they see as their lives onscreen ---which seems to consist mostly of a small group of friends pursuing the best looking muscle queens at the local bars/clubs---constitutes relevant cinema. An unfortunate effect of the small-pond mentality of gay cinema perhaps; a small core of mainstream gay audiences lap this stuff up but this sort of tired and unoriginal storytelling wouldn't pass muster for a second in the larger indie film scene. "Gypsy Boys" is a particulary wretched example of this sort of dumbed-down pandering to mainstream gay audiences; but its greatest sin is that even as a stereotypical gay comedy it's too lame to deliver the goods. You'd do better to watch "Kiss Me Guido" again if that's the kind of thing you're looking for.

Summary: Not a "Queer as Folk" rip-off (This came first!)
Comment: When I saw this movie for the first time, it was at the 2000 (?) Chicago Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, where it was premiering for the first time, and I liked it quite a bit.

Yes, just about every character is a catty bed-hopper who spends entirely too much time on looking good and finding the exactly right thing to say in any situation, but can anyone honestly tell me that those kind of people don't exist? Especially in the Castro?

A lot of people who have reviewed this film here have called this a "Queer as Folk" knock-off. That's not entirely true. ABout the only thing both shows have in common are the aforementioned catty wit-queens mentioned above. The difference between this and "QAF" is that while both present the same stereotypes, "QAF"--at least in my mind--is even more offensive because it's made by straights who are pandering to what they think the gay community wants to see. It's the equivalent of the "Mantan" concept in Spike Lee's "Bamboozled."

Somehow, I find it less offensive coming from a gay filmmaker--I'm not sure why, but I do.

I would recommend this movie.

Summary: Not bad, Not Great
Comment: Very middle of the road gay flick. Cute, kinda funny, but not exactly the expectation nor would I suggest it as a top of the wish list item. But, as a gift it was great and I liked it enough I expect to watch it again.
