These are actually quite a fun series of scenarios in which an experienced escort who goes by the name of “X” (Derek Magyar) has to come to term with the ageing process. He turns up at a party, only to discover the room full of scantily clad young men, and for him to feel distinctly like the daddy. Fortunately, the young “Chayce” (Jason Caceres) decides to take him under his wing and show him how to make a good living his way. That’s going to involve a complete makeover, some fairly profound attitudinal changes along the way and then either on his own, or with his newfound friend, he might be able to adapt and survive. It doesn’t help that he’s still sharing a house with his ex-boyfriend Andrew (Darryl Stephens) and he’s not really over him, if the truth be told. What now ensues sees these two get up to all sorts of entertaining antics, with a whole load of clientele ranging from the shy and retiring to the outrageous and camp, and each one of these stories helps to illustrate just how “X” has become completely out of his depth, and how important the guidance from his new friend is proving to be. Magyar and Caceres both look like a little enjoying themselves here and whilst it does resort to stereotype a little bit, it’s nonetheless quite a funny take on just how people get their kicks. It might be the oldest profession, but it’s pretty clear that this is not a profession that is kind to you when you’re old - and old can start at thirty-five. Caceres has a confidence and probably the best lines as he plays his way through this, unthinking that his character will undoubtedly end up facing exactly the same dilemma as his new best friend. It’s not exactly laugh out loud, but there’s plenty of humour and even a touch of sarcasm from the script, and if you can take it as a piece of low-budget gay cinema with it’s tongue in it’s cheek (amongst other places) it is actually quite an enjoyable watch.Show less
