I've seen some pretty bad films in my time, but this one is right there with the worst. The movie is funny only if you find overacting drag queens, a poor script, dreadful amateur performances, and insulting gay stereotypes amusing.
First of all, this movie was pretty low-budget like most gay movies that I have seen except Brokeback Mountain. I think it is obvious that the whole thing is supposed to be a big joke and once I decided that was what it was I thought a lot of it was funny especially the balls out song in the beginning.
Not funny enough to be a comedy, and not bad enough to be funny, BEVERLY KILLS is a mind-numbing waste of time featuring repulsive characters, illogical plot and poor production values. Nothing that happens in this film makes much sense and the characters are mostly repulsive idiots who give the GLBT community a bad name.
Damion Dietz (Neverland, The Virgin Larry, Fag Hag, Respect My Ass) is a director and writer who obviously has a great time putting together his genre of films. What seems to be over the top, silly, absurdly ridiculous situational comedies have a singular bite.
Beverly Kills is a highly entertaining satire of Hollywood lunatics, fanatical doomsday religious cults, and oversexed gay community theater. This film belongs on anyone's list of top gay independent films.
Pride Playhouse is holding auditions for a show called "Balls Out". Basically it involves having young, cute men singing and dancing in the nude.
