Trick Movie Review

A for effort. C- for implementation. Trick tries hard, really hard, to be a queer version of a Doris Day/Rock Hudson comedy (before any realized those were queer versions of themselves). Christian Campbell makes one of the most earnest playwrite-in-search-of-meaning-and-love characters you're going to see, but Pitoc's "Mike" is as dull as his character name. Spelling livens up the proceedings for awhile, but eventually this film just gets tiresome and mushy. At all of 90 minutes, it's not bad enough to make you give up on it, but greatness is not a word that comes to mind.
