Storyline

It doesn't matter how much he pirouettes, paces, prowls and postures, there's something just a tad too effete about Spacey's performance to make Larry as dangerous a presence as he needs to be.

It's smart, funny and insightful and it's quite easy to see what attracted the stars to it.

Despite my reservations about Spacey's performance, the film is generally very well acted.

[Facinelli's] perfect performance boldly proves that a handsome young man is a symbol of real hope, even to straight guys.
