I
have to say when I read the synopsis for The Last
Straight Man I was a little concerned. It all seemed
a tad gimmicky, with the kind of ambition that few
low-budget, gay-themed movies can live up to.
Thankfully though I was pleasantly surprised when I
actually saw the movie.
There aren’t many gay films that open with a scene
in which a female stripper is dancing for a bunch of
guys – indeed you’d think it was anathema for this
type of flick – but it’s Cooper’s (Scott Sell)
bachelor party and so strippers are the order of the
day. At the end of the evening Cooper is left with
his best friend Lewis (Mark Cirillo), talking about
their lives and loves – however Cooper doesn’t know
Lewis is bisexual (on his way to accepting he’s
gay), and when he admits that fact, Lewis is pleased
that Cooper is surprised but not horrified.
Indeed, as the evening wears on, it turns out Cooper
isn’t too bothered at all, as while he’s never
messed around with a guy before, he ends up doing so
with Lewis. This is the beginning of an annual
event, where the two guys meet in a hotel to catch
up and screw around. It’s supposed to just be fun,
but as we see four more of these evenings over the
course of 12 years, it becomes clear that while both
men initially want to keep it simple, it isn’t that
for either of them. Lewis cannot help but fall for
his friend, while Cooper may wish it was just an
escape from his wife and children, but there’s
undoubtedly a deep connection to Lewis.
It’s a very entertaining film and manages to
transcend its deliberately constrained set-up,
allowing its five-nights-over-12 years setup to feel
organic rather than pretentious. The script is smart
and keeps you pulled in, with Scott Sell and Mark
Cirillo extremely good in the central roles of two
men trying to figure out both themselves and their
sexuality – as well as how our actions may not match
the labels we like to use if we go by the dictionary
definition.
There is admittedly the potential issue that two
people who start having sex just before one of them
gets married and then continue the affair for
another decade, don’t sound particularly
sympathetic. However you can’t help but start to
root for them and their happiness, whether it
involves Cooper and Lewis staying together or not.
Both are on a difficult journey and as they
challenge their boundaries they keep you on their
side.
It doesn’t hurt either that the film is very sexy.
Both Sell and Cirillo spend a decent chunk of the
film in the buff (with a few full frontal shots to
keep penis-spotters happy), having sex and generally
being pretty hot. What makes it work beyond just
visual buffness is the chemistry between the two
men, which is thanks to both the actors and the
script. You can believe that these two people are
genuinely good friends, and there’s a level of trust
and camaraderie on display that helps deepen the
level of intimacy the film portrays. For example,
when Cooper decides he wants to try bottoming, you
know he probably wouldn’t do this with anyone else
(even if the actual encounter doesn’t quite go as
planned).
I really did enjoy The Last Straight Man far more
than I expected to, with the movie delivering an
entertaining story, plenty of sexiness and two
characters it’s extremely interesting to get to
know. It may obviously have been made on a
shoestring, but it handles its limitations extremely
well. Saying it’s Before Sunrise meets Brokeback
Mountain would be rather hyperbolic, but you can
certainly feel the echoes.
Overall Verdict: Thanks to a well-written script and
the very sexy Scott Sell and Mark Cirillo, The Last
Straight Man is a film that could have seemed a bit
gimmicky but turns out to be entertaining, fun and
rather racy.
