Boys Life
"A gay coming-of-age anthology filled with affectionate irony" - Dave Kehr, New York New
Three films. Three young directors. Each carving out their own individual tale of coming out and growing up. Walking the gangplank toward adulthood, the heroes of these fresh, often poignant shorts stumble unsteadily out of the closet. Their first dive into love (and sex) recalls those all too familiar first date traumas. Three parts After School Special, two parts Playgirl, one part Melrose Place. Bathrooms, gyms, discos and much, much more.
Includes: Pool Days, A Friend Of Dorothy, and The Disco Years.

Decent Enough - ocguy
The movie is a bit outdated, but the story lines are all still relevant.
It's a decent portrayal of the coming of age, of young gay men. The stories seems to cut short, but it is well done overall for the time in which it was filmed.
there are newer versions available of this movie which I would go for before watching this movielife full of promise - 2commit
The three shorts presented here are disappointing in one respect, but very promising in another. They disappoint because all three run afoul from poor production values and acting; they hold out great promise, though, because the stories are essentially well told and crafted, which bodes well for the future projects of the young directors. While this collection is not compelling watching or ground-breaking innovation, it is a decent showcase for emerging directorial talent.not too bad! - Supermel
I was impressed by the quality of acting in this movie and the decent storyline! Yes there are some typicial 'gay drama' mometns but overall the three short films are well put together and give you a real sense of the message. Do not expect softcore porno though because this is not it.
