Chuck & Buck (DVD, 2000)

I had hoped this movie would be better, however I found it painful to watch. The story begins with grown-up Chuck and Buck who had been childhood friends. Chuck had left his small town to pursue school and work while Buck stayed behind. The twist is that Buck never matured much past age 11 and is stuck acting/thinking like a child. They are reuinted when Chuck returns for Buck's mother's funeral. At this point, Buck begins to stalk Chuck and follows him back to LA and is unable to understnad that Chuck is 'grown-up'. The story unfolds and we learn that as children they had a sexual relationship that Buck would like to revisit, although Chuck is now married.

The plotline moves along slowly and the childish behavior of Buck is hard to witness. It becomes even harder to watch when Buck begins stalking Chuck. It does not seem realistic (i.e. Chuck would have called the cops in reality) and isn't comical but instead deeply sad. I had to fast-forward through the slow parts in order to see how the story resolved itself. I do not recommend this film and think there are much better gay-themed films with which to spend your time.
