...Visually, there's not much to complain about in this movie. ;D

Thanks, K. I am seeing it on Bargain Tuesday. I am not expecting Great American Cinema, just some pretty boys that I like with pretty bodies and doing some pretty dance moves. I expect the $5 will be money well spent.

Really? I would have stayed for Matthew alone. Another character he slightly reminded me of is Heath's from Lords of Dogtown.
As he gets older, Matthew is wisely acquiring that appealing subtle hint of self-parody, a la Alec Baldwin, Jame Spader and William Shatner (who, of course, has more than a tiny hint of it). Even Tom Cruise is trying out some roles that go in that direction, which is good because, the older he gets, the more he may need it.
And yes, Jeff and Roux, the dancing is really pretty impressive.

Sometimes that's all you want, and ain't nuttin' wrong with that, I say.
Like The New Yorker once said of Kenneth Branagh's movie of Much Ado About Nothing, "Sometimes all you ask of Shakespeare is Denzel Washington in leather pants." ;D
