So bad it's funny.
vernck1312 December 2005
I saw this movie because I was a friend of one of the actors. That said...this was by far the worst movie I have ever seen. The movie looks like it was filmed in someone's garage. This has to be the lowest budget ever on a film. The acting was worse. But I have to say, when you put these two things together it makes for a pretty funny movie. I don't think I ever really "got" the plot if there was one. If you like movies that are of a very low quality for humor value, then this film is for you. At the time that I watched it, it seemed to be almost soft gay porn. It reminded me of the films from the 1950's about what happens when women are sent to prison without men. This made it especially funny for me. As I am a fan of awful 1950's B-movies. That is what this film is, a very bad B-movie.

Boys in Prison story that is Part failed satire part failed farce.
Havan_IronOak5 September 2001
This is the story of a new boy in a boys work farm. The guard Bull is sadistic. The Priest is overly familiar with his charges , and the boys are all homosexual.

This movie has worse acting than most off-off-broadway plays and looks to have been done on about the same kind of budget.

I make it a point to see almost any movie or play with gay content and this one set a new all time low. As movies go, Ed Wood could have made this film on a bad day.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment ... for the audience.
Suradit28 December 2014
The lighting and audio were reasonably good. Other than that …

In all honesty I cannot fathom why anyone would have come up with the money to stage this or to film it and then, presumably, pay to have it distributed. Possibly blackmail and/or a loaded gun were involved.

The "actors" were surprisingly enthusiastic. Most likely they hoped their enthusiasm would overcome the embarrassing scripted dialogue or the absence of an interesting story . To be generous, they may have thought they were being satirical or camp. They weren't. About the only reason I watched the film (with a great deal of jabbing at the fast- forward button) was because the reviews were so bad. I thought something that bad might be amusing. I was wrong. Even a bit of full-frontal nudity was unable to rescue this disaster.

The only thing I could compare this to was a skit put on by college kids for an audience of their peers who found it entertaining to watch their friends make fools of themselves … at a third tier college … or residential rehab facility.

Really, really horrible.

I'm laughing at an awful movie

Warning: Spoilers
After seeing this movie, I am completely gob smacked and laughing out loud at the same time just because it is so ridiculous!

That priest acted like a complete pedophile and a phony by wanting a marry a flamboyant guy who is 40 years his junior plus a criminal. How messed up was that to put on a script?! It didn't make sense and I'm thinking it's not even worth it!

The background in the set looked like it was coming from a hostel or a youth club building, seriously it did not fit as a proper prison. It seemed pretty much a rushed job to find one. Whoever organised the film to be set there had no film skills at all.

This movie is lazy, disgusting and stupid.
