Broadway Damage - The
Theatah is So Cruel!
by Tallulah Givehead
Broadway Damage
is coming out for a more sunny, cute-boys-in-love
romanticism (Billy's
Hollywood Screen Kiss, I Think I Do) is this
sugary, determinedly optimistic love story. An, kin
Ta tell you that she just cried and cried ... ruined
my fabulous mascara an made mah dreamy eyes all
puffy. 'Where's those damnable cucumber slices,
boy?!?!?' uhm, sorry. Despite mah tragedy, ah loved
every minute of this movie with its joyful script
and oh-so-fabulous Mara Hobel. Her outfits stole the
show ... the galsses, the gowns, the glamour!
At
 times
funny, and occasionally charming in its innocence,
the film can be a bit much for those jaded by
relationships and toughened by sexual oppression.
The story revolves around the ambitions and loves of
three wide-eyed dreamers trying to become a success
in Manhattan. They include aspiring actor Marc (Michael
Shawn Lucas); his mop-headed best friend and
would-be musical composer Robert (Aaron
Williams), who's secretly in love with Marc; and
Marc's ditsy Greenwich Village roommate Christina (Mara
Hobel, the young Christina in Mommie Dearest),
an exuberant shop-aholic and the only one of the
three with some serious emotional problems. Will the
two young men get together, or will the sexy new
stud in town steal Marc's heart? For most viewers, a
pleasant romantic gay comedy.
Wolfe Video 110min. Letterboxed.
