POT BREAK IS GAY

But Pot Break has somethg else tegral to the actn movie: a healthy streak of homoeroticism. There’s a certa irony to , of urse, that the actn movie – a big mcly bundle of supercharged masculy, ma largely for a heterosexual male dience – should have such powerful homoerotic unrton.

The 1991 origal is a big, burly landmark homoerotic actn – a sun-baked beach party full of bodac surf, bank jobs, and all the bros together, bro. Pot Break is hardly an isolated se of rampant homoeroticism actn cema.

Some men would cry hery at the ia of homoerotic sentiments ripplg through their favoure actn movi. Indulgg – and dare I say, enjoyg – the unrlyg homoeroticism of an actn movie isn’t a betrayal of one’s red-blood masculy.

To be fair, even if I hadn't had the heads up, I would've ught onto the simmerg homoeroticism of "Pot Break" pretty quickly.

It stars a young Keanu Reev (who would star "My Own Private Idaho" two months later, but had already played gay by this pot) and Patrick Swayze (still a few years off om "To Wong Foo, " but already cshed-on by men and women aplenty), both radiatg full movie-star wattage. The movie's excellence is extrible om s homoeroticism.
