This has a hot sexy cast and they do keep you entertained and showing all that skin does help. The second season is even better.
Can you say soft core porn or red shoe diaries?
There are plusses and minuses to this. The cinematography, location, the look of the show is erotic, I'm thinking "original sin", but the show is a total no-brainer on every level, but somewhat intoxicating to keep you watching until the end. The dialogue is lousy, the acting is embarrassing, and virtually not enough plot to keep one with any sense interested, that is if that were what someone was looking for, because what it does have is lots of skin, lots of sex and eroticism. There is something that is making it a very talked about series, although I'd hardly call two-discs a series, but audiences are eating this up and the answer as to why is a big mystery. Perhaps it's the beautiful people and flawless bodies that move through scenes wearing next to nothing or nothing at all, they have to otherwise I wonder how interested audiences really would be in this if they weren't. Nevertheless, watching it once probably won't kill you.
Sexy drama
I really enjoyed this show. It's true there were some scenes where the acting and the writing could have been better, and it would have been nice to have more episodes in a season, but other than that I have no complaints.
I loved the love triangle between the three male leads. There is some serious eye candy there. The love scenes are really beautiful.
The story so far is.........In 1840 Ambrosius Vallin is put under a curse by his vengeful ex-fiance. When she catches him making love to another man, she imprisons him in the Dante's Cove Hotel celler. Knowing how vain he was she cast a spell, turning him into an old man. Only the kiss of a young man could set him free.
Having years to hone his own witchcraft skills, while locked in the celler, Ambrosius cast his own spell on Kevin and lures him to Dante's Cove, where Kevin has decided to move in with his current lover, Toby, at the Hotel. Ambrosius tricks Kevin into breaking the spell. But he has become obsessed with Kevin and decides he must have him for himself and takes steps to eliminate the competition....Tune in next season for the rest of the story
I realize that many people thought this movie was funny. And I agree, some parts were funny.
However, I forced myself to watch this movie just because I wanted to know what all the hype was about, and I really don't think the movie was anything to build up. I'm still amazed that I sat through the whole thing.
The movie plays on stereotypes, which does not represent the community as a whole. I don't think I would ever want a straight friend of mine to see this movie because it so clearly feeds on the assumptions that build the deep-rooted hate that still exists in our society. This movie left NOTHING to the imagination, and seemed to not be a movie, but instead an expression of "how far can the gays push the envelope."

I had such high hopes when I first heard this movie was coming out. I saw it in the theater but was quite disappointed. Apart from the character names, it bears little relation to story lines from the comic strip. Even Ethan isn't Ethan: in the strip, he has jet black hair. And I don't recall any baseball player plotline.
One bright spot was Meredith Baxter, who was perfectly cast as Ethan's mom. She looked and came across the same as the comic strip mom. More Info about this DVD Director(s): George Bamber DVD Release Date: Released the 10 October 2006 Usually ships in 24 hours
