Straight Jackets and Gay Ties
I totally missed the Times’ review of Straight-Jacket in December. I’m just seeing it now in the Lexington-Herald Leader (yes, at Kentucky.com).Excerpt:
Matt Letscher is Guy Stone, the Rock Hudson-like box office magnet dubbed “America’s most eligible bachelor,” whose hopes of playing the lead in Ben-Hur are abruptly sidetracked when he’s photographed leaving a gay bar. “Homo Star Arrested in Perv Palace” scream the tabloid headlines the next morning.
Desperate to certify his heterosexuality, Guy marries his producer’s secretary, Sally (Carrie Preston), a shrill blond bimbo who is not informed that she’s being used as a smoke screen. Until his marriage, the air-headed Guy is a promiscuous rake, so in love with himself that on entering a gay bar he looks around and remarks, “Who’s the lucky winner tonight?”
Has anyone seen it? If so, what did you think?
You can view the trailer here. The DVD will be released on June 7, 2005. To order it now, click here.
