30ish gay man Craig (Craig Chester) meets 20ish gay man Gary (Andersen Gabrych) at a party. They become friends but Craig (inexplicably) becomes attracted to Gary--but Gary just wants to be friends and nothing more.
This is well done and has its amusing moments (especially with Nora Dunn as a doctor) but it just doesn't work. Chester is good but his attraction to Gabrych doesn't make one bit of sense. Gabrych is handsome and in great shape--but he comes across as an idiot (and his acting is pretty terrible). I couldn't stop thinking of WHY Craig wanted Gary! This completely destroys any emotional impact this short has at the end. It's all well done but the basic story just doesn't work. I can only give it a 5.
