Diversity and Acceptance
Amos Lassen
Soon to be released by TLA Releasing is the Spanish comedy "Boystown" ("Chuecatown") which shows a great deal of the diversity and acceptance by the people of Spain.
Victor (Pablo Puyol) is a real estate agent in the neighborhood of Chuecha which is in the process of gentrification. He, however, harbors a secret--his apartments only go on the sales market only after he murders the elderly women that live in them and then disguises the deed as suicide. After the deaths, Victor refurbishes the apartments and sells them to gay couples. We learn that Victor's idea was to transform the area to a "gayborhood".
Victor chooses his next victim as the one who lives next door to a gay couple, Ray (Carlos Fuentes) and Leo (Pepon Nieto) who are due to inherit the apartment and then want to give it to Ray's mother, Antonia. Victor, however, only wants gays of high incomes to move in and he begins to plot a way to get Antonia out of the apartment. Enter the inspector Mila and her witless son, Luis who are assigned to investigate the murders and all comedy breaks loose. There are more murders and lots of sex and much, much comedy.
I recently read a review by a Spaniard who saw the film when it was released in Madrid and he disagreed with almost everything I have written here and, hey, that's what makes the world go around--different strokes for different folks. Of course, living in Spain he had a completely different perspective on what the film shows. I have to agree that many of the jokes are those that only members of the gay community can understand and some of them are quite dated. Some of the other jokes were obviously local to the Spanish population only as they referred to the political system about which, I suspect, many Americans are not familiar.
I enjoyed the movie but it is not great cinema. It is nothing more than fun and that is fine with me.
Boystown
Fun Show
LOL..Well I enjoyed Boystown, being from Chicago and we are truly know for what is Boystown. After watching it a couple of times I looked at it as almost like a gay soap opera. The music was great and I purchased the soundtrack which is amazing. Apparantly the asian guy in other review doesnt understand the concept. As with every show you either love it or hate it.I do want to see them step it up for the next episode but Im there.Boystown
Ok, I am interested, to a point....
A new Gay show. After QAF, I needed something to fill the void...
This episode caught my attention. But the episode is a little raw and needs to be "spiked" up a little. I was slightly disappointed. The characters were briefly introduced and the story line was limited. I gave it 4 stars because even though this episode is raw, I feel it has potential. In my opinion, they have my attention with the plot. But the story line is a little weak. I think they need to introduce the characters more.
Will I get more episodes, most likely. Even though this first episode was weak, I would like to find out what happens....
Its not for the QAF fans though. This show is different. Definitely a work in progress.

Fun Show, Great Cast
I saw this last year at the N.C gay and lesbian film festival and loved it. I also was able to meet some of the cast members and spent a couple hours hanging out with Rick,Albertossy and L.K., they were all so gracious and made my experience a very memorable one. I also purchased the soundtrack for the show which is awesome.Hope to see you again this year!Boystown
Entertaining
I thought Boystown was entertaining, got several laughs. Alot of memerable lines especially in the party scene. Made me think of Sordid lives, low budget but entertaining. The landscaper can do my yard anytime he wants!Boystown
