TURNS OUT, BARBIELAND ISN'T AS GAY AS S QUEER FANS HAD HOPED

If you are not gay, you don't unrstand what I am potg you are gay, and you are that offend at the gay stereotypg the movie, then you were born California, New York or somewhere else progrsive and should nsir yourself fortunate you didn't have to rely on movi such as this one for movie was prented om the pot of view of Ryan's character which is to be expected sce he was the bigger star at the time.

THE GAYT MOVI THAT AREN’T ACTUALLY GAY, OM ‘BARBIE’ AND ‘BURLQUE’ TO ‘VENOM’ AND ‘ROAD HOE’

Y that is right- this movie was released as a edy not a document on gaylife the 1980's or whatever- I really get tired of all the reviewers who have to read social relevance to every movie about gays that was ever ma.

This all beg said I would not ll this a great movie- is amg - mostly om the stereotypil gays and gay-jok that make up the substance of the movie- I rated a 4 on the sle- I lghed- I spent a pleasant hour or so watchg on vio. Here's a gay-themed actn-edy that even the gay muny has thankfully fotten, an appallg, tangled ms volvg two male Los Angel police tectiv (one straight, one gay) posg as lovers orr to track down a killer of homosexuals. Homophobic p, Benson (Ryan O Neal (barely aquate) and gay sk p, Kerw (Hurt, fantastic as always) are forced to go unrver as a gay uple, movg to Homoville, where they start to rock some people's boats, and jangle their chas orr to flh out and ba the killer, much the same way Cis' was done, where that was jt a solo job.

The other cricism is to do wh Hurt and O Neal's unrver snoopg antics, like havg pth nversatns about the murrs wh gay suburbia folk, and havg them not tch on, or not be spic of their ton, or q and a methods, was a worry. Certaly, takg a nostalgic look back at the Wt Hollywood of the early 1980's is fascatg, and while I would live there a few years after this was ma, seems far too exaggerated for a major gay muny and far too close to what Warner Brothers had tried and failed wh two years before wh the New York gay muny wh "Cisg". I found some humor this film that st Ryan O'Neal and John Hurt as ps who pretend to be gay lovers to track down the killer, but quickly ns out of steam and reli on old stereotyp that are jt stupid, if not pletely offensive at least to of the old drag nightclub "La Cage Aux Foll", Carney's Hamburger choo choo rtrant on Sunset Boulevard and var si streets off of Santa Moni Boulevard Wt Hollywood shows how physilly ltle has changed.
