Steam Room Stories: The Movie!

This is a silly and campy film. It is more or less a series of sketches connected by the thinnest of plots. The sketches vary in quality-the bake sale sequence is better than the wet undies contest by way of example-but the film is always amusing or sweet. The guys are all hunky; they give good enough performances. The direction is competent. This is a low budget film intended for a niche audience. It generally works but given the lack of light fare and silly films for gay men sometimes we have to take what we can get. In the end the film has enough self-awareness to make its budgetary and narrative shortcomings go down smoothly. I think this lacks appeal for general audiences. That it fills space very few films try to tackle is its selling point.

I approached this movie expecting to see something really lame but was I ever surprised. The set-up is very misleading and a lot of it is cheap but stay with it because it turns out to be a very clever thought out movie. Pay close attention attention, put it all together and you will find a quite enjoyable film!

Sometimes film-makers really need to understand when to stay in their lane. My guess is the creator of the mildly amusing (and that is being generous) web series of the same name always had the aspiration to turn it into a feature...but why? All the series itself was comprised of short 2 - 3 minute set-ups to a homoerotic joke...hardly a backbone for a feature-length film. And if you are looking to be disappointed, then this film doesn't disappoint...pretty much all I can say there.

This film is fun, light hearted and entertaining. It features a lot of jokes, and lots of eye candy too. I had to grab myself some chocolate cookies, after watching the bake sale scene!

This movie was hilarious and actually really sweet. I like these types of fun popcorn movies and watching it with a bunch friends made it even better. Favorite Scene: Baking cookies Favorite Character: Beau Favorite Line: The eggs came from CHEECKENS!
