November 29, 2010A poor attempt to make a hustler seem likable. When a character is this cocky... I do not care if he has a soft emotional side.

June 15, 2008It's different and not for everybody, but I thought it had a good storyline. Plus, the adorable boys that make up the cast are nice eye-candy.

August 16, 2010This was so much better than I ever could have expected it to be. Anyone with half of a heart would have guessed they wound up together at the end, but it didn't stop me from having to smile so big. I wish I had someone to recommend it to!

July 6, 2009I can be very shallow at times so that fact that this cast was beautiful was a positive. I was surprise and please by how much more there was to this movie than the synopsis let on but the movie poster makes it look like a sexy movie and it is but its more about relationships and... read more

February 21, 2009I thought this was an unusually fine movie. I think the plot line on Flixster misses the target; the box label says it better "sex pays - love costs". I laughed at what one character said about the natural transition from the search for Mr Right to the search for Mr Right Now.

October 27, 2008I thought it was just me but apperently all gay men go through all that even saints ans prostitutes.

May 7, 2008I got caught up on the DVD cover and reading the synopsis of the movie. Didn't think I would really enjoy this and, it's laughable, thought it might be too gay. Wrong - X is a complex character dealing with finding love. Director (Brocka), did a very good job of making his messag... read more

January 13, 2008I loved this movies and although I am not big on narrative movies, I thought this movie perfected the style quite nicely. I could totally relate to X as I think there is a lot of similarities between him and I, but I could also relate to Joey and Andrew as well. This movie defini... read more

August 16, 2007I found myself really liking this film.You find yourself caring for a male hooker or doesn't like to show his feeling for those around him. Has comedy, love, some good eye candy. Over all a very good flick.

James Reed, Boston Globe
You know something's amiss in a movie when an omniscient narrator blathers the entire way through it. Full Review

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
A smarter-than-average relationship drama set in Seattle's gay scene, Boy Culture boasts a winning sense of self-awareness.

David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
As a character, X is rather reticent and buttoned-up. If he'd stayed that way as a narrator, a rather nice film would have been even better. Full Review

Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times
It is buoyed by some incisive acting and writing and anchored by a standout portrayal from Bauchau, a versatile veteran of international cinema. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
In a role that could easily have slipped into bitchy smugness, [actor] Magyar gives the character a self-deprecating charm that's enormously appealing.

Ronnie Scheib, Variety
A strong cast, formal visual style and cynical voiceover that propels the action help elevate this Seattle-set gay romp from the ranks of the stereotypical. Full Review

Kam Williams, EURWeb
A refreshingly realistic, homoerotic adventure featuring recognizable gay characters actually acting gay, not behaving in some sanitized fashion intended to appeal to straight audiences. The gay versi... Full Review
