 A fun time will be had by all October 2, 2008

"A Four Letter Word" is one of the best times I've had viewing a movie in a long time. The movie sails along, holding your attention until the credits roll across the screen. A lot of the credit goes to the director and the editor, but this is also a fine-looking cast, especially the lead actor, Jesse Archer, who's one of the handsomest men in film. More to the point, he is fun to watch as well and he dominates every scene he's in. This is not meant to be a deep, analytical view of gay men and sex in the new millennium, but a fun romp with interesting characters. If you want to be entertained, this movie will certainly do it.

'A Four Letter Word" is the best gay comedy of 2008! Not a gay farce (ala "Another Gay Movie') this charming film is a fast paced romp through Manhattan following three diverse couples - gay, straight & bi-racial - as they traverse urban life in the 21st Century.
With high production values this follow-up to 2006s "Slutty Summer" (also starring Jesse Archer and directed by Casper Andreas) is a giant leap forward in the overall quality of gay independent cinema. The 2007 winner of the 'Outfest" Outstanding Screenplay Award.
Can barely wait for the third film in this wonderful series of films . . .

What could easily be dismissed at first, A Four Letter Word, offers us a glimpse into the world of Luke, played by the fabulous, Jesse Archer, who rambles through life and meets Stephen, played by Charlie David. The frivolity of their gay world never seems funnier then when these two get together, but when I thought about it, I realized that these two characters co-created by director, Caspar Andreas and Mr. Archer break through sexual mores without utilizing the typical devices and constructs that are likened to most other gay movies. I am intrigued to see what comes next from these two gifted men, and I hope they don't spend too much time worrying what others have to say about their movies, including myself. A Four Letter Word is funny, frivolous, and fraught with issues most other gay movies wouldn't dare get entangled in.
hilariously lovely!! August 16, 2008

"A Four Letter Word"
Life's Deep Meanings?
Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
If you saw "Slutty Summer", you will undoubtedly remember some of the characters you met--if you did not choose to forget them. One particular character, Luke, was the "typical" gay party guy who was always quick to make sure he "sparkled". You can then guess where this movie is going and I can assure you that it is very, very, very gay (and somewhat naughty).
From the first few minutes of the film we know where we are going. In the first scene we see a good looking couple kissing and embracing in the shower. We also see a gay men's nude yoga group and so begins the frontal nudity.
The plot moves along as we go with Luke to his place of work, an adult bookstore. We see him conversing with Zeke, his co-worker, who is a post-gay activist. We then watch Luke in his attempts to get laid. He feels that he must validate his existence with constant sex. Luke finally meets his match when he meets Stephen who describes himself as a total top. (Interesting--the total tops I have met have turned out to be pig bottoms).
At first Stephen dismisses Luke but they later meet anonymously in the back room of a bar and Stephen goes crazy over the way Luke uses his "oral; skill". Luke replies that it is a hobby of his.
Luke is so smitten with Stephen that he is wiling to try to be monogamous and even joins a group of sexually compulsives. It seems that Luke already knows everyone in the group. It also turns out that Stephen is nothing more than an expensive rent boy.
"A Four Letter Word" is a wonderful commentary on commitment ad how sexual identity can cause loneliness and an over extended adolescence. A very sharp script and a very talented cast make this a delightful movie so when it comes around, make sure you get to see it.
