supporting them.” Donations from several local businesses such as

Movie Under The
Stars |
|
Winterparty
and MGLFF present Movie Under the Stars featuring a
favorite from the 7th annual MGLFF (Guys and Balls) on
Wednesday, March 1st at
8:00PM at the Surfcomber Hotel (1717 Collins Avenue).
If “misfit gay sports comedies” can be called a whole new genre of film, then
Guys and Balls takes that genre to a whole new level of hilarity. It’s got a
double-entendre title (this is a soccer flick), lots of goofy sports stunts and
revealing locker room scenes, a cute lovelorn hero, and a team full of every
possible wacky homo - from studly nurse and femmy Turk to a horny leather-bear
threesome. Throughout, the humor lurches in fresh new directions, with
laugh-out-loud sight gags and a wry send-up of silly sports machismo. In a rural
German town where soccer is everything, Ecki’s the champion goalie who just lost
the game. As if that’s not bad enough, the other players discover he’s gay and
banish him from the team. Vowing revenge, Ecki sets off to a nearby city to
start his own all-gay squad and challenge the homophobic heteros. It’s an uphill
battle, taking wide-eyed Ecki from a hospital delivery room (enter studly nurse)
to the slings of an S/M sex-club (enter leather-bears). Meanwhile, back at home,
Ecki’s weary parents endure homophobic gossip and a nonstop barrage of anal-sex
jokes from a cranky old man. If Ecki’s team can ever get their game together and
take on the hometown squad, we’re in for a raucous culture clash. Guys and
Balls never takes its' coming-out tale too seriously, thank goodness and it
keeps the romance light and sexy. After all, it’s only a game! (In German with
English Subtitles) Ticket Prices are $15 in advance (at
WinterParty.com) and $20 at the
Door. |
