While most of the recent outpouring of gay cinema tries to coast on a smile and a little bit of charm, Trick provides some considerable filmmaking cojones to back up its good looks: a talented cast, a witty screenplay, and a sweet sense of romance. Unfolding as part stressed-out fever dream and part farce, Trick chronicles one tumultuous night in the life of aspiring Broadway songwriter Gabe (Christian Campbell), who's suffering from both a heterosexual roommate (who kicks him out when there's female companionship) and a bad case of writer's block. Making an impulsive side trip to a gay bar, he locks eyes with a hunky go-go boy (J.P. Pitoc), who magically appears later that night on the subway, with amorous intentions to boot. Hotfooting their way back to Gabe's apartment, they're interrupted in medias res by Gabe's roommate, girlfriend in tow. From there it's downhill fast, as the two unsuccessfully scramble to find a place to finish things up. On their nighttime odyssey, though, both discover that there's more than sex and heat to their interaction. And much like its premise, Trick evolves from what seems to be a quickie one-night stand to something more substantial, a film with heart and a very funny soul. Jason Schafer's screenplay puts the luckless couple into one bind after another, and furnishes them with incredibly entertaining dialogue; fortunately, both the leads are up to the challenge of bringing it to life. Campbell (Neve's older brother) has a sweet smile and gentle comic timing; the surprise, however, is Pitoc, whose chiseled physique belies both a wicked sense of humor and a sincere-without-being-gooey romantic streak. Both are aided and abetted by a finely tuned supporting cast, most notably Clinton Leupp as an acidic, motor-mouthed drag queen and Tori Spelling in a go-for-broke star turn as Campbell's best friend, a painfully bad singer-actress. By the end of the movie, you'll be entirely won over, and anxiously awaiting a second date and more from these actors and filmmakers. --Mark Englehart

 Trick is a Genuine Gay Love story August 30, 2009
B. Dent
This movie is amazing. I remember living in NYC, in the very same places where the lead character is living, and all of the things that happens to him were things I remember so well from being in the theater there.
Jim Fall has captured such a lovely, heart breaking, and hysterical story, and has put together a bunch of really lovely actors in all the roles.
Who can't fall in love with the lead hunk, Pitoc? Who doesn't love what Tori Spelling does in this role? And Campbell is so charming that you just want him to have a happy ending, in more ways than one!!!
This is a film that should be a part of everyone's DVD collection..period.
Great Gay Movie May 14, 2009
Bradley D. Ramsey (Gaffney, SC USA)
Funny as hell, guys are sexy. They usually put characters that are not that attractive, but this one was great. It had some well known actors in it that you would never thought that would be gay instead of a bunch of actors that you don't know.
A great Gay Romantic Movie January 14, 2009
Michael D. Morin
I have watched this movie for about ten years now and every time I view it I feel it is as fresh as when I first saw it. Actually it has become somewhat of a timecapsule of how young gay people are. With all the recent non community that this gay world of ours are handling there lives it should be viewed by more to remind them of just how real and fun life can be. Yes it becomes sappy at times but thats the movies my dears. It is a wonderful viewing for anyone looking for top notch acting and editing of a film. The go go boy is perhaps the best looking gay character ever in a gay film in my opinion. Absolutely beautiful and at the same likable. This is how people really feel in the world about there relations at the beginning of the journey into love. Highly recommened. If your completely jaded by life you may not buy it but try.
Gays as ordinary people people November 21, 2008
Gene Krider (Statesville, North Carolina, USA)
I bought this movie by accident, thinking it was "Tricks." I am not gay but I have written operas and a musical and I could sympathise with the hero. I have had a friend like the girl. The go-go dancer was beautifully played. I liked the song "Enter You." Non-gays should see this for a look into the gay life which is very much like straight life.
 Charming, fast paced and romantic film August 7, 2008
Langston Hughes (Little Rock, Ar.)
This is a romantic, funny and very sexy movie. My friends (straight and gay) always enjoy watching it at my place. The guys are really hot; the story is somewhat suspenseful and the music is great. Tori Spelling is hilarious; there is electricity between the male leads and the movie is quite fast paced.
